Iowa State All-American running back Breece Hall’s final recruiting to-do list followed this step-by-step plan:



 1. Commit to Matt Campbell’s Cyclones.



 2. Text fellow running back recruit Jirehl Brock.



 3. See how he responds.



 Soooo …



 “I was like, yeah, I’m telling (assistant) coach (Nate) Scheelhaase tomorrow that I’m committing as well,” Brock said Tuesday during a conference call with the media. “That’s how we got closer. Then we came on visits and came to games together, and we always talked and made sure we were at the same games so we could kind of build that...

If you watch film or paid attention to him last year, among several good things he can do that kid can absolutely be a big asset in the pass block game.

It's gonna be a fun ride watching these 2 stud running backs.

Nice article. We're rooting for ya Jirehl!

 

[Aclone]

Rob, with yet another excellent article.

Brock was actually more highly rated coming out of high school then Hall, IIRC, so yeah we should be in great shape at RB this year

The services basically admitted they suck at rating Campbell prospects.

It is crazy to think how much we don't "need" Breece Hall!

Can't believe I wrote that. Mods, please feel free to delete.

Depends on who was doing the rating.

Haha, you got bashed for that one.

Edit: Maybe next year you can try this one again (we all know you were kidding) when Breece is in the League and Jirehl is putting up multiple 100 yard rushing games!

You can delete it yourself, you know.

I have a feeling we could see a good amount of 21 and 22 personnel with a double RB backfield next year. Especially if Jirehl develops more as a pass catcher and Breece as a blocker, there is a lot of potential for misdirection and screens with the two of them lined up next to, or behind Purdy.

It’s been a few years coming, but this two headed monster is finally here.

This was actually what stood out with Breece's game as a freshman if I recall.

Id say delete and permaband. Seems appropriate.

I actually wouldn't mind if he gained a few pounds and became the unofficial short yardage back. No need ramming Breece every time into piles for 3rd and 2

The thing people forget about brock is how much he reminds me of mike rose.

300lb Howard Brown is good for a guaranteed 2 yards right? Kind of kidding, but would be curious to see him in a blowout how well he can hit the hole and protect the ball.

He doesn't hit the hole. He is the hole.
