RECRUITING: Iowa State offers another 2018 QB

[ChrisMWilliams]

I'm going to blog about this today but Brock Purdy, a 2018 QB out of Arizona has an Iowa State offer. I heard about it over the weekend but got it confirmed this morning. He's got a bunch of mid-major offers but seems like Boise and UCF are the top competition. I'll keep you in the loop.

Hope he comes to Ames. It's always nice to have depth at the qb position.

Arizona Gatorade player of the year. Looks to have a good arm and is very good at getting away from pressure and making plays. He could be a steal, especially this late in his recruitment. Alabama appears to have shown interest. He recently visited them, but didn’t seem to get an offer.

Would this be an indication of Kempt's status with the NCAA?

To me, it would seem like they think he’s back. If he wasn’t coming back, I think you’d go after a grad transfer or juco, not a freshman.

It looks like he officially visited Boise State last weekend and has scheduled official visits to UCF and Alabama scheduled for the next two weekends. Hopefully Iowa State gets the following weekend.

My first thought was "hmmm, we wait for Re'al to sign, THEN we offer another high school QB. Interesting."

From those 'in the know', what is Re'al 'really' like? Besides the short comments, do we see him as a future qb in our system?

Watched 2 minutes of film on this guy and I don’t know how he doesn’t have tons of offers. Maybe because he’s only 6’1? He looks REALLY good.

Here's what I wrote about it with stats, highlights, etc.

Not sure how to read this offer without taking it as something is going on with Re'al or Devon.

Edit: I should specify that I don't know anything and I hope my negativity is very incorrect. Does anyone know how Devon is progressing beyond Campbell's comments that he's doing 7on7s?

Alabama interest? Yet, very few early power 5 offers? How often does that happen? You wouldn't think the kid would want to wait behind both the freshmen and Hurts, both who played in a championship game for Bama.

Has to happen a lot in recruiting, wouldn't it? Meaning, you have adequate numbers at a position but you see a shiny new toy that you may have a hard time not pursuing.

Coaching staff said they were bringing him in to be the next Seneca Wallace so I would think they rate him pretty high at QB.

Very similar situation to Zeb's recruitment.

 

[FOREVERTRUE]

Kid has a good arm that's for sure that second throw in the video where it puts it 45yrds through the air between defenders right on the money was impressive. He has a good touch to go with it on some of the 50/50 balls he threw.

We don't have adequate numbers at QB though.

 

[Hayes30]

We don't have adequate numbers at QB though.

So why not bring guys in to make the number more adequate?

That was my point....

They are, but we wouldn't be moving somebody to another position like a couple posters were saying.
