Chubba Purdy - Commits to Nebraska

[NickTheGreat]

Good for Chubba, but I still hope they lose every game.

Maybe they can win 1 in late November, I can't ever decide on that one.

Who was better QB in high school, Brock or Chubba?

Chubba was rated higher but probably because of the name recognition at that point.

 

[CyCrazy]

oh man this is great news

 

[alarson]

C’mon people…. we don’t need 10 threads about this. Gotta love people that think they have some kind of scoop, but they are way late to the party.

That's every surly thread though.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Better them than OU. Hope he does well there, but I have my doubts on him getting good coaching.

Right now I'd root for Nebraska without question

I think generally I root for whoever is having a worse season

Chubba’s rep coming out of high school in AZ was that he was the better athlete and better runner of the 2 brothers, but Brock was the better passer. Given that, it would make sense that he’d look for a program that has an offensive scheme that relies heavily on the QBs ability to run.

Still think we should have tried to get him but hope he does good at kNebraska.

Chubba was rated higher but probably because of the name recognition at that point.

Brock basically missed his entire junior year with mono so he was always playing catch up in recruiting rankings. He destroyed AZ high school records his senior year, but because that was his first year as a starter he was already behind in the recruiting game.

Can he beat out the Texas QB that transferred to the Huskers? If you are a QB I think you transfer to a school where you are the clear #1. I thought he had a better chance at starting at Oklahoma.

yep. doesn't make sense to me unless he is changing positions?

 

[brianhos]

Huge upgrade from Martinez.

 

[nfrine]

I'll be cheering for Chubba at least one game each year.

 

[cyfan92]

Huge upgrade from Martinez.

Try telling Surly and the rest of the purple kansas faithful how bad Martinez is

 

[exCYtable]

Oh god poor guy is gonna get so much crap funneled his way from the Hokroaches.

Absolutely. Hawkeye Nations finest coming out of the woodwork in his Twitter feed; go check it out. It's top shelf stuff. I hope he wins 4 straight against them.

Why do we think Chubba would want to come here?

We didn’t recruit him ever and considering how much Campbell loves Brock, any fool would realize that chubba wants to blaze his own path.

That’s a silly reason. I have seen great players all playing for the same school. It has nothing to do with CMC loving Brock, infact if I played at a School and loved, then I would want my brothers to play for that same school because people are familiar with me and I would also offer my little brother hints on how to succeed. Something like the Lazards.

That’s you. That’s obviously not what chubba wanted.


I’m confident that if chubba had been interested in Iowa state, they would have recruited him. He wasn’t interested and that’s ok.

 

[JohnnyFive]

It shouldn’t be because HE DID NOT WANT TO COME HERE.

This. He wants to make his own story somewhere, not try to break his brother’s records.

 

[Cydkar]

Seems a bit odd that we went after the QB from Iowa Western, but didn't see a reason to go after Chubba.

Think about it.

And while Iowa State fans were generally very good to Brock, there were plenty of fans that were kind of ******** to him at times. I can't imagine coming to Iowa State a year after Brock left and trying to live up to unreachable standards.

The comparison to the Lazards is not at all relevant.
