Never realized we were close to landing him. Had a couple crystal balls.

Joe Burrow - ISU
- Thread starter drose1
- Start date
Good player, but he seems like a giant toolbag.
I think Joe Burrow is the young one.
Yup. Jamie who was a LB at Nebraska is the older one.
I heard that had Kempt not gotten a 6th year, the staff felt good about landing Burrow as a grad transfer.
No, that's Dan who played safety for Ames High and then Nebraska. Jamie was LB/TE, AHS Class of '97. Dan was AHS Class of '00. I played with both (AHS Class of '99). Honestly the older two were far enough from Joe age wise that I didn't even know they had another brother. I thought Joe was maybe a cousin or something until a couple years ago.
No. If Kempt isn't back he doesn't get injured in the Iowa game which eventually led to Purdy becoming the starter later in the season.
In the spirit of "What If?" history, it would be fascinating to see what Burrow would have done at Iowa State as opposed to LSU.
Joe was coming to Iowa State until Ohio State offered. His Dad Jim (my high school coach at Ames High) was very close to coming back to coach the secondary for Rhoads as well. I pushed for Joe to look at Iowa State when he decided to transfer. Don’t think there was any mutual interest. Regardless, I am very happy and excited for the Burrow family. Dan (pictured above) is one of my best friends from high school. Knowing and seeing the whole family have a Heisman Trophy is incredible. Another thought I had this evening. You know how close Ames High was to having NBA players and Olympic Gold Medalists and then a Heisman Trophy winner? I know it’s a stretch but Jim, Robyn and Joe could have easily stayed in Ames. Never cared about LSU football until the last two years and am now a huge fan. Good luck to Joe and the Tigers in the playoffs!
