I love Jirehl Brock

[shadow]

Here is a guy who was 4 star recruit, not seeing a lot of play which often means he'd transfer or not be happy.

However, I feel like I see him at least once per game every game being the 1st guy to congratulate other RBs like Breece or Kene after TDs and appears to be really excited by others' success.

It is great to see. Reminds me a bit of Mike Warren. Just hope he comes along and when he gets his chance, that he can too can be a great ISU RB b/c he seems to be a great teammate trying to go about his business the right way.

I would bet he transfers, seems like a good kid but won't sniff enough playing time.

 

[jsb]

I'm cool with him too. But he's only a freshman. And he's behind an excellent back in Breece and a good one in Kene. I would hope a freshman wouldn't be so worked up about not playing.

Made a good play recovering a fumble today

It’s really going to depend on if Hall leaves after next season

That assumes two things.

One, that his only priority is playing time.

Two, that he doesn’t see more PT as the season progresses.

For that matter, if Kene doesn’t come back Jirehl is in a great position to be the main backup next season—with the benefit of a full offseason to prepare.

You wonder if Jirehl had been the one to graduate early and enroll at ISU for spring instead of Breece, and Breece didn't start until summer...... would Jirehl be the starter right now instead of Breece?

Sure it is, i dont want him to leave but if he wants playing time it will be awhile.

He will. Or at least he should.

 

[cyclonedave25]

I’m guessing Hall leaves for the NFL after next season. Brock will be a RS frosh next year. He could be a backup next year and then be the starting back as a RS soph.

 

[cyadict]

They need to find a way to get him on the field more. He’s way too good of an athlete to have sitting on the bench...just like Re’al Mitchell was.

Jirehl is already a RS Frosh.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Jirehl is already a RS Frosh.

Correct, but this year doesn’t count against eligibility. So he’ll be the same next year.

 

[Thomasrickj]

I think Brock leaves, but if he’s banking on Breece going after next year and then becoming the guy, he could stick around.

 

[clonedude]

Jirehl is already a RS Frosh.

And he will be next year too. This year basically doesn't count at all against everyone's eligibility. Purdy will be a junior again next year too.

 

[Aclone]

Correct, but this year doesn’t count against eligibility. So he’ll be the same next year.

I wouldn’t count on it counting like that. He’ll be a RS Soph next year one way or another. That sixth year they’ll prolly come up with some terminology after RS Senior like “CV Senior”.

And I wouldn’t expect Jirehl to take it anyway.

 

[CloneGuy8]

I would hope he doesn't decide to transfer. Odds are Hall will go to the NFL after next year; if he transfers, doesn't he have to sit out a year anyways? Also if Kene decides to move on to life after football after this season, he's likely the #2 back next year.

 

[DeereClone]

He wouldn’t be crazy to stay, guessing Hall leaves after next year, as he should. It all probably hinges on Kene’s plans for next year.

Yeah who knows how they will do it, but regardless, Jirehl still has 4 years of eligibility after this season.

Jirehl's time will come. He needs to keep trusting "the process".
