This kid is getting so much hype on here lol. I do hope he develops into a fantastic QB for us!
'22 QB Rocco Becht Commits
- Thread starter CyPunch
- Start date
I’m curious as to just what the college football definition of a “blue blood” might be. Because if it’s a perennial top ten team with a great coach, then we seem to be on our way to being one.
In which case, I’m okay with five star kids wanting to go to a blue blood.
That's a great discussion. Random off top of my head: Bama, LSU, Georgia, Clemson, Notre Dame, Ohio State, OU, Texas(?)
To me blue bloods are the ones that are not only perennial top teams, but historically relevant and important in the sport.
So for CFB:
Alabama
Ohio State
Michigan
Notre Dame
Oklahoma
USC
If we're talking recruiting, the "new money" powers like Clemson, Oregon are certainly in the conversation.
I know Michigan and USC have been underwhelming recently, but they have too much history to ignore
Can also make an argument for schools like Florida, LSU, Penn State.
Texas is too streaky for me to put them on there.
20 years ago I might've put Nebraska on there, but they've been so mediocre for so long (
) that they've faded fast.

Agree with this although,
kNebraska would kill to be mediocre now.
They'll eventually be back if Frosty continues to win friends and influence people

Michigan has history but they aren't in that top tier anymore. Clemson should be in ahead of them IMO. LSU ahead of USC unless you count Song Girls. Hottest pom squad in college IMO.
If we're talking moment in time, absolutely those two are ahead of UM and USC.
But when you factor in history, money, fanbase, etc. they're still up there in terms of prestige.
If I were a Michigan fan I'd be concerned about how much Ohio St has risen above them.
Yep OSU-Michigan used to be must watch FB not so much anymore. I agree with your money and fan base comment though. We don't have the name recognition of your listed teams but I wouldn't be afraid to play against any of them. Bama and OSU are big drinks of water, but Campbell can hang with OU I think he would keep us competitive. with them.
Purdy
Dekkers

Yeah I think this staff knows what it's doing

The fun part is when we get to watch our fan base. The Baylor bench Purdy game made a lot of our fan base look like they weren't quite as smart as the coaches. LOL.
Nobody really good at all, just the 6th best qb in the ‘22 class committed to Clemson.
"Rivals Underrated Three-Star Challenge" doesn't have the same ring to it
I just can’t pump myself up for Dekkers for some reason. There’s not really any reason for me not to. And I couldn’t tell you why. I just don’t get excited for him like others on this board do. Hopefully that will change after Purdy is gone.
Let's just say the talk within the program about Dekkers should get you to change your mind on him
