I love Jirehl Brock
- Thread starter shadow
- Start date
Hall will be gone after next year, this year doesn't really count towards eligibility so if he wants, he can still have 3 years as the starter after Breece is gone. I think we'll see a lot of from him over the next few years.
So a RS freshman, who plays a little and is behind a player getting Heisman talk and a senior doing good things should be dissatisfied with his playing time? His time will come. He is an injury away from being a feature back. I would like to see him out there situationally more, but it's hard to argue with the results we've had. Maybe after the bye week.
He will play next season. Dude is only a redshirt freshman
I dont think that is an unreasonable question at all. The difference between these guys may be completely due to one having an extra several months to get a head start, and Breece has maximized his opportunity as a starter. Jirehl was just as highly regarded in HS and I expect will be a stud whenever it is his turn
Funny thing is. When we had Brock and Hall committed I was confused why Hall would want to come to Iowa State and sit behind a 4 star. Ummm guess I didn't know.
Breece didn't start playing at this type of level until the 6th game of the year last year. Breece is an All-American type back and you could honestly argue he's the best back in the nation right now. So you're saying that if Jirehl came early like Breece, he'd be doing what Breece is doing? I highly highly doubt that.
That's no disrespect to Jirehl either. He's going to get his time. Nwangu playing extremely well hurt Jirehl's chances of seeing the field much this year.
No, I'm not saying he would. Im saying its not a silly question. Jirehl was rated higher in HS and was the player of the year in Illinois, so who's to say what he will become when/if the starter. We had David just two years ago and now Breece, is it so hard to believe we have two studs right now as well?
Believe me, extra practice isn't what sets Breece apart from his team mates and the rest of the country for that matter.
I think Jirehl's going to be really good. And although it's not impossible to say Jirehl would be doing what Breece is doing, it'd be a little bit wishful thinking. I'm not too worried about high school status when you consider they were real close in their rankings.
Trust me, I hope you're right and Jirehl will produce like Breece is doing, but these are Heisman numbers we're seeing from Breece. Legit Heisman numbers.
Put it this way.. If Jirehl were even close to as good as Breece at this very moment, he'd be getting Kene's carries.
Didn't Brock get some carries early on last year before they redshirted him? Seemed like they tried a few different guys and Hall just beat everyone out and they went with him the rest of the season.
Jirehl won't go anywhere this offseason. He's gonna be second string next year and the starter the following year
Breece was the staff favorite before either of them even made it on campus. Jirehl is no slouch but the fact that Breece has become a star is of no surprise to the staff.
Greg's smart enough to just take the fair catch unless he knows he can pick up 10+ yards, like he did Saturday.
