Iowa Football Recruiting

Another deflection. Man, you guys are on a roll. Can anyone explain why Alabama wouldn’t confirm Purdy had a committable offer? Anyone? Bueller?
Why wouldn't it be? What's the point of throwing an offer and taking a visit that late in the cycle if you don't want the kid, anyway?

It's illogical.
 
Alabama has 3 scholarship QB's on the roster but yeah, they definitely weren't trying to get a QB.
Seems perfectly logical for a perennial top-five recruiter, one of the best coaches in the game, from the best program in the game, to take the time to send out a bunch of uncommitable offers and take visits from kids they don't even want.

Yep, perfectly logical.

Because Purdy himself said the staff wouldn’t tell him whether the offer was committable. Hypothetically, if you asked a girl you were seeing if the two of you were exclusive and she went out of her way to avoid saying yes, how would you interpret that?

That doesn't explain the "offer and visit very late in the cycle" part. Particularly from a top program.

The timing of these events doesn't match logically with the way you're describing them as going down.

Halsted cleared that whole thing up. Maybe you should get a 247 subscription

It’s not logical that Alabama was slowplaying Purdy as a backup option, so they wouldn’t commit to Purdy when Purdy asked? That seems perfectly logical and seems to happen quite frequently in college football.

Stupid is as stupid does
 
So..... basically it's the only logical interpretation if that's the interpretation that you desparately want it to be?

What other interpretation logically stems from that? You think Alabama really wanted him badly, but decided their chances would be better if they kept Purdy guessing as to whether he had a committable scholarship offer?
