Thread title is a bit confusing. I read it as someone asking Brock Purdy how long we will keep Re-al Mitchell.
How long will we keep Mitchell, Brock???
- Thread starter Cyfern
- Start date
Ah yes... win big game on Saturday; have guy with no posts show up worried about guys leaving who have proven very little.
Re-Al has next level speed. I wouldn’t be opposed to a position change if I were him. Dude looks a step faster than everyone else on the field.
One thing I love about Campbell is if you are better you are going to play. He did the same thing when Montgomery took over for Warren and now we are seeing it again with Hall coming into his own the last couple games.
All legal options could happen. No way of knowing. Having as many studs on the field, at the same time, is a goal.
There’s also an example in the kicking game from Saturday of this as well
Although the OP posts like a troll, I do think it is odd that Re'al doesn't see more time on the field, even if it is just for a jet sweep or wildcat run.
4-6 plays with him on the field, some in decoy, some with runs, would seem to have the potential to make our offense even more dynamic.

Worrying about whether the 2nd string QB and the 5th string running back transferring in the offseason is like marrying the prom queen who became a doctor and laying awake at night wondering what that chubby choir girl is up to.
I doubt if we have yet seen the full Blaze package. I predict that Campbell will use it all in the Texas game.
Brock knew the situation with Hall when he signed. Not worried there.
Mitchell's already redshirted, so he's burning a year of eligibility by transferring unless he goes FCS. He's a solid #2 and has the inside track to start as a rSr on a good team with a staff that has shown they will leverage a QBs strengths and put them in a position to be successful.
So a transfer means 1. Burning a year of eligibility and 2. trading off a level of certainty in role and style of play with quality of team most likely. Not saying in two years he couldn't be a starter for a good P5 team, but it would certainly be a risk.

It wouldn't surprise me if the gameplan for WVU once again had each RB getting a possession, just that Hall performed in a manner that made it tough to take him off the field. I don't think we are done with the experiments yet. Campbell threw away their redshirts. So, it wouldn't surprise me if Jirehl Brock gets a series before Hall this week. I don't think the RB position will be settled until the OU game.
I wondered when YeahBuddy would show up again....These guys aren't going anywhere, they are part of the process and more importantly part of a "team". As we have seen in recent years from guys that "wait their turn" in college football, if you are good enough to play at the next level, it only takes one year to show what you can do.
If this is RANDY, I'm sure they will leave at the same time CMC takes the Steeler job.

If Mitchell wants to play QB I could see him transferring. I haven't seen him throw enough to know what his arm is like, but that guy is an NFL athlete if used in another capacity like WR.
I think he needs to look really hard at changing positions and making some $$$ at the next level.
