Better get this one started since people will start asking.

Brother of ISU CB Myles Purchase.

Top 100 prospect. ELITE athleticism for his size.

What's the scuttlebutt, 4L? Does this guy have any interest in following his brother or are we a long shot?

There is real interest. Iowa State will get an official visit for sure.

May be part 3 depending on how R Mason Thomas turns out.

How about the Ikenna kid? (Forget his last name)

Saw he’s 6’6. Possible kick into the inside if he puts on some significant weight?

This will sound weird but I actually like us in a fight with USC. Reasons for this:
- Myles has gotten PT early, which the brother should like
- Mom and dad can see both play when they travel
- USC stinks right now, and is floundering for a head coach. Lots of uncertainty.

This would be a home run for the defense. Also cherry creek is a great local inroad fball program in Denver. Outside of Valor it's actually the best football program in Colorado. They probably have legit 3 division 1 guys every single year. Think Valley but bigger and much better for the denver area.
