Do you think them getting "snubbed" will hurt our recruitment of him now? Assuming we even are recruiting him
Hard to tell.
His Dad is ISU Grad.
I know both of them would have loved the opportunity to play for the Cyclones.
I just read that Auburn and Fresno State have expressed interest and Penn State attended a practice this week.
Both he and Matt are competitors, I just wish the Cyclones would have given them the nod, at no cost...walk-ons.
Yes, if Bill Snyder offers an Iowa guy that you haven't offered, you punch yourself in the face, wake up the next morning, and give that guy an offer and his mom a job at the university.
Plus it would be great to shove one in Snyder's face due to the fact that Kstate also makes a living off offering our offered players 3 days after us.
Does Iowa State need a juco quarterback? It doesn't matter who has offered or where he is from. If you don't need one, you don't need one. Barnett, Richardson, Rohach, Hodge, Lanning. There's at least five scholarship quarterbacks for next year. Did I miss anyone? If ISU needs Waters, it really messed up on some or all of the five names I just listed.
I don't know anything about Iowa State's interest but I used to do play-by-play for St. Albert with Jake was in high school. He's a phenomenal athlete. He most definitely could play at ISU in my opinion.
Soooo, you agree with me? I'm all for taking this kid if he makes the QB position better, no matter how many qb's you have on scholly.
Talked to a KSU guy today that handles some recruiting info for a K State website. He said he is stunned ISU is not after Waters. He said he would probably come to Ames if he had an offer. Thinks he is the next Colin Klein. I wonder why we haven't offered?
Because Grant Rohach is the next Sam Bradford.
For real though, I would love for us to offer this kid, but if we got him it'd probably mean losing one of our QB's (current or recruits)
Sign 15 if it means finding 1 good one. QB's are often very athletic in general. They can convert to another position or transfer if they wont see the field. I fail to see the problem with offering scholly's to more qb's then you need.
Runs the spread offense and average margin of victory this year so far is 50+ points.
I played against him in JC and Ill tell everyone right now he is very good. I played against Knott in high school and I could tell he would be a stud at ISU. I put Waters in the same category. The kid can flat out play football. Give him a chance. If he doesnt beat anyone out at QB then i think he can definitely play another position.
Agree. Richardson or Rohach may be "the future" but isn't that always the case with the young backup QB?. If they were really that good they wouldn't be 3rd string and redshirting behind mediocre-average Big XII QBs.
Obviously (BCS) teams see something in Waters and have offered and I think we should too. From the rumblings on this board hes a Cyclone fan and would love to be a part of the program. If he wins the QB job, great. If not, then we have another backup QB or we move him to another position.
