'22 QB Rocco Becht Commits

Kid most likely won't see much playing time until Dekkers is gone. I think there's plenty of time to work on his arm strength.

Arm strength is largely genetic. Purdy hasn't improved his thus far. Still holding out hope, we need that deep threat.

Liked the zip on some of the deeper throws. A couple of the other ones aired it out and that lets a Dback recover.

The thing is, he could throw it that way, to an unfamiliar receiver, because there were no DB’s present.

I’m okay with him demonstrating that he can throw a very catchable ball when the situation calls for it.

I have to ask. Anyone else notice the guns on this kid?

It’s almost as if his dad was an NFL tight end or something.

Didn't notice. I was admiring his (hairy) legs!

Just kidding!!

SEC schools definitely going to be trying to poach him now.

Color me cocky but I don't see us losing him. Just off a fiesta bowl win, a coaching staff that isn't going anywhere..

He throws a beautiful ball. Would not surprise me in the least if he wins the QB competition after this next season is over.

It certainly could be some interesting competition. Hunter Dekkers has an elite arm and has shown what he can do with it in some limited game opportunities last Fall.

There are states still playing high school football? Iowa HS OTAs start again in two weeks.

Spring football scrimmages. You’ll notice they aren’t in full gear.

Same with speed. There are a few things you can do to make small improvements but you pretty much either have it or you don't.

Cool write-up, crappy top 25.

Yeah, my dad once told me that I could play football even though I was short, ‘but god damn it kid you can’t be slow too‘.

He can throw deep like 30+ but often some of those plays don’t have time to develop. I feel like tarique was really good on those kind of plays that we were missing last year. Definitely need to stretch the defense.

Long developing plays receivers usually have to come back to catch the ball with Purdy. Not always the case, he can throw in rhythm but it doesn't seem to be something we try to use very often.

Seems reasonable in spots, but overall, kinda weird. OU a little low, ISU at 9 is believable, I guess.

I'm not buying Pac-12 with only 1 team, and at #21 (if so, I'd choose Oregon) -- then having 2 Sun Belt both ranked ahead of that, and also 2 from MAC in top 25. I know Pac had a bad season in 2020, but 2020 was ... odd.
