Chubba Purdy
- Thread starter spierceisu
- Start date
The thing is unless Brock leaves early I don't know if he wants to ride the pine waiting for him or even potentially beat out his brother as the starter. He can go somewhere else and probably play right away. His family seems to really like ISU so I think that means they have time to evaluate him against what our needs are and then if they are late to the game, they probably still have a shot.
Pretty sure I read somewhere that Iowa State is not recruiting him.
let's remember he still has his senior season of football left. That means that he would come into a class when Brock is a Junior. Redshirt 1 year and if Brock declares for the draft after his Junior season, Chubba would step in as a redshirt freshman with 4 years of eligibility. Or start as a redshirt sophomore after Brock graduates.
Where would Re-Al Mitchell play into all of this? Or does the staff move him to another position?
The staff is really high on Bouman for 2020.
With Re-Al being now 1 class behind Purdy, I don't see him staying at QB for the cyclones. I think we will either find him a way to see the field on a consistent basis, or he will transfer. No point in waiting behind the number #1 for 3 years to get a shot at QB Junior year (If Purdy declares after his Junior year) or senior year.
Is this because we don’t gave to? I mean it’s not like he isn’t around the program a bunch and knows what we are about. Obviously his family is all in for ISU. You can’t tell me if he blows up we aren’t gojng to try and snag him.
He will get on the field this year as a quarterback.
If the kid can play near Brock's level I would hope and assume the coaches are just honest with the entire family asking them if they want them to be teammates.
I could see it either way that he'd want to be with his brother or make his own way.
Ways I see Re-Al being used at QB this year.
-Purdy gets hurt (next man up)
-Special wild cat like packages
-Trick play QB
I'd personally like him to see the field a little more than that.
We played 4 different QBs this last season (with Re-al seeing very limited time on the field in an attempted trick play situation). Brock is obviously #1 right now, but anything can happen and I would actually like the staff to play someone other than Brock at times to keep him fresh and healthy.
This is the correct answer. You don't do anything to make Bouman rethink his recruitment.
Did Clemson play anyone other than Trevor Lawrence after game 2? How about Oklahoma, did they play anyone other than Kyler Murray? If you have a true #1 QB, you don't play anyone else just to keep them fresh and healthy. Yeah, we played 4 QBs this past year because #1, - Kempt got hurt. #2 - Purdy was better than Noland. #3 - trick plays. Hopefully, going forward, we get to use Purdy as an every down QB. Only thing that should change that would be injury, or winning games by so much that we can afford to play someone else.
Mostly I agree but I think that if you have a #2 that needs experience you give him snaps at a time where the game is still in doubt in a tune up game(s) so that he has a little experience playing under fire. That can be important if you have to play him later in the season.
It worked with Troy and Darren Davis, it could work with Brock and Chubba.
So you're saying that Oklahoma should have benched Baker Mayfield in "tune-up" games for Kyler Murray, to get him experience?
