RECRUITING: Jett Thomalla (4-star QB 2026 commit) flips to Alabama

[werdnamanhill]

Are there really people on here arguing that a former NFL player 1st round pick who is now a professional ball coach and is married to a real estate agent isn't wealthy?

Mostly just one idiot, being wrong about multiple things in one thread. It’s impressive really.

At some point it has to click for some that recruiting stars, while not bad, don't automatically mean success and other things like fit, leadership, timing, etc. are essential.

It goes for basketball too.

One of these days maybe.

 

[RustShack]

I know some of you guys aren’t terribly bright. Yes, you pissed me off.

A. I never said that the family wasn’t wealthy, dimwits. Does your reading comprehension suck that much?

I’ll repeat, @RustShack can go **** himself.

B. “Wealthy” is subjective. There are people who would call every single one of you reading this “rich”.

Can you not grasp that smoke point?

C. Just because someone made money, doesn’t mean they secured it.

This is a fundamental truth of life that every single one of you geniuses should know. Not including professional athletes, but especially professional athletes.

Not just blowing their money, but bad investments, or being fleeced by their agents.

Are you all, seriously, that ignorant?

Well, I know RustShack clearly is, but I’d expect better from most of you.

That includes whomever mixed up Anthony Becht’s last NFL contract with his Battlehawks’ salary. I mean, seriously? That league is on a shoestring budget.

The Becht family is likely less prone to those aforementioned problems, but I don’t know that. It’s none of my business.

I’ll give the family credit for being comfortable financially, but I’m not going to be presumptuous or arrogant enough to call them “wealthy”.

That’s just being an a**hole.

And since the third time’s the charm, @RustShack , go **** yourself. Good luck with that. I’m assuming you can find it.

Historically our best QBs the last 25-30 years have been the ones who didn't have as much hype. Sage, Wallace, Brett Meyer, Brock, and Rocco. Even back when DMac was here he brought in some good ones. Austin Flynn was a 4 star.

Brock was offered by Alabama and T A&M. That's decent hype.

He was a 3 star prospect either way. And what was he offered? I full ride? I seriously have doubts.

A&M was full-ride. Alabama I'm not so sure; may have been PWO. Though if you believe 247 it was full ride

Nah, I’m done.

I deleted the posts out of respect for the holiday weekend. Tomorrow is a day of reverence.

Enjoy.

I don't. Even if their scouts really liked something in Brock there were 50 other guys they could have gotten before him as backup recruits that were better prospects. Alabama doesn't reach and offer 3 star QBs with offers from ISU as their biggest offer. I just find it hard to believe. I have no doubt he was offered a walk-on spot.

Alabama had Tua, Jalen Hurts, and Mac Jones on their 2018 roster so I would not be surprised if it was a PWO situation. Still worked out great for him; got to be the man at Iowa State which lead him to where he's at today. Similar situation for Gardner Minshew; had an opportunity to transfer to Alabama as a backup but went to Wazzu to be the man.

It worked out great for him I just doubt that Alabama offered him a full ride. Alabama may offer a guy that has several other offers but not a guy basically only offered by ISU. They'll let the scholly stay open and get someone else in a position they need depth. And the idea that Bama offered him and even U of A and ASU didn't slide in with a late offer makes it hard to believe. You hear stories about offers all the time and question what they really were. Think of Curtis Stinsons son this year. You're trying to tell me ISU gave him a full ride offer and he ended up at North ******* Texas? I doubt it. We gave him a walk-on offer is what it was.

Alabama offered him before signing day, it’s pretty common for big schools like that to try to swoop in at the end to fill a few scholarships, and a lot of times it works for them.

Also how is this comparable to Stinsons son? It’s been known he didn’t hold an Iowa state offer.

I don't believe he had a full ride offer from Alabama.

There is some dumb stuff in this thread. Let’s hope Jett feels more comfortable with CMC and the staff and reconfirms his commitment to Iowa State. If he doesn’t life goes on, but I think he will.

Pretty hard to believe an NFL QB who had Alabama in his top 3, would have had an Alabama offer.

In D1 FB, it is either a full ride or walk-on.

Yes a full ride.... D1 football programs don't give partial scholarships
