Chubba Purdy Offered

But there's literally nothing that says taking chubba precludes you from taking another QB. I know it isn't common to land 2 portal QBs, but Chubba is a freshman eligibility wise
Agreed, and I’m totally on board with Purdy if we can also bring in an experienced QB to start next season.
 
Don't worry. If we only end up with Purdy, then Purdy was always the #1 target. If we land Thompson then he was always the #1 target with Purdy as a safety net. Scott Frost knows what he is doing and always pushes the right buttons.
You're absolutely right, this will be the narrative that is spun. That being said, Purdy has always been a high priority for Whipple - even before he came to Nebraska. And I have heard the Mickey really likes Thompson.
 
No reason to pretend he was #1 though. You can be complimentary of players without saying outrageous shit. "We liked what QB X brought to that room. He's a smart player who really fits what were trying to do here."
We have people on here getting mad about something Scott Frost might say if Chubba Purdy commits to Nebraska. It's so silly.
 
Why? What difference does it really make? It's all coachspeak, none of it means a goddamn thing.
I think the things Frost has said have a fairly significant impact on people's expectations for players and the program. Not everything a coach says is coachspeak.
 
From 247 on Casey Thompson:

One big fish out there is Casey Thompson, the transfer from Texas. According to a source close to the situation, as of Monday night the Huskers were situated as a leading candidate for the former Longhorns QB.

What does "a leading candidate" mean?

It means they don’t really know shit but if he commits they can say “we were first to report that Nebraska was a leading candidate” and if he doesn’t, they can say “hey, we only said Nebraska was a leading candidate, among many others.”

Took it straight from the Dean Callahan playbook.

Translation of the above post: "Like many people, I really fucking love to read way too much into coachspeak."
 
Don't worry. If we only end up with Purdy, then Purdy was always the #1 target. If we land Thompson then he was always the #1 target with Purdy as a safety net. Scott Frost knows what he is doing and always pushes the right buttons.
Link to any proof that Scott Frost knows what he’s doing?
