Sarcasm?
Really wish Haliburton was here playing with his teammates in the Cap City League. Hope I don't need a jimlad.
Dude, you had me going! You never know over here.
Sounds like another George Amundson. I think Johnny Majors said that George was the greatest athlete that he'd ever coached.
Speaking of Blaise when are we gonna hear Gunnerson to Iowa State? The suspense is killing me!Just looking at 247 rankings you can see a huge jump in homegrown commits in 2020. Blaise would be that last in-state prospect to get.
Why did we offer if we have Aidan? If we were taking two in this class I would have thought Chubba would have received an offer.
(Legitimate question, not criticizing the staff)
Who is saying “This is a stupid move”? I haven’t seen a single one.To everyone saying "THIS IS A STUPID MOVE",
This is the way recruiting is going to shift. Teams are going to start taking two quarterbacks.
"BUT YOU CAN ONLY PLAY ONE QUARTERBACK! TWO QUARTERBACK SYSTEMS DON'T WORK!" Calm down... I agree with you. On the field, you need THE guy. You need the leader that unifies the offense. I agree 100%.
So why take two quarterbacks? It has to do with the new trend of transferring. Last season, we had TWO quarterbacks transfer. We had one leave the year before that. And before that, we we in a mad scramble to find anyone fairly decent. James Cappello = transfer. Jared Barnett = transfer. Grant Rohach = transfer. Trevor Hodge = transfer. Dom Delira = transfer.
Two QB classes is going to be more regular now, if not the norm.
Also, a note about Chubba Purdy. He liked Iowa State, but he didn't want to come here. He wanted to make a name for himself and not just be Brock's brother.
Ahh, ok. Wasn't completely sure about Johnny saying that about George. Matt would also be a good candidate for that designation.I believe that Johnny Majors has said repeatedly that Matt Blair was the best athlete he ever coached.

And you listed an assortment of quarterbacks transferring, some of whom never should have been offered in the first place. This is not Paul Rhoads’ quarterback room.
As far as Chubba “not wanting” to come here...link, please?
Watch this, Chubba talks about how he wants to write his own story, and not live in his brother's shadow for another couple of years.
I haven't even seen this. I've heard this from a source.
For my "stupid move" comment, there is a dude who posted "not good." Basically means he thinks it's a stupid move.
Johnny might have said that about George when he played...then revised it when Matt came along. That was a couple of years later, right?Ahh, ok. Wasn't completely sure about Johnny saying that about George. Matt would be a good candidate for that designation.
Quite possible because I've since ran across a couple of sources that had Majors saying that George was the finest athlete that he'd ever coached, anywhere. Anyway George was an amazing athlete no matter what and excelled in multiple sports and at multiple positions in football. No doubt that Matt Blair was also a tremendous athlete.Johnny might have said that about George when he played...then revised it when Matt came along. That was a couple of years later, right?
In much the same way, Matt Campbell once said that Enyi Uwazurike was the best athlete he’d ever signed, or somesuch. A couple of years later, that title transferred to Will McDonald.
