I'm not twisting anything. McCulley said his mind wasn't made up until the morning he committed. Therefore, you can say that he was undecided between 2 schools. 1 scholarship filled up. That doesn't sound like he spurned Purdue. Again, nothi g against McCulley. I was hoping he would come to Purdue and most thought Purdue led for him.
As for Jackson, you might be right. Height matters less and less at QB. 4.5 speed. Throws the ball 70 yards. 60% completion last year. It was his first year playing QB. I think it's an intriguing get. I don't think he's instantly moved. Brohm has been wanting to get more mobile at QB. This really isn't a shock that Brohm took the mobile QB.
Just the timing doesn't add up in your favor. Purdue actually offered Jackson before they offered McCulley, as an athlete, the summer after his sophomore year in which he exclusively played WR. He was already committed to Minnesota as an athlete at the time Purdue offered. Jackson moved to QB his junior year and blew up and had a great season. But during this time Brohm was recruiting McCulley the hardest and he may not have even been recruiting Jackson at all as he was committed to Minnesota and was playing QB for the first time. Jackson initially de-committed from Minnesota in January (after a stellar year at QB) in hopes that he would be recruited as a QB by bigger schools. Had that been Brohm's guy all along, he would have promised him a shot a playing QB right then and there. But that obviously didn't happen because Brohm was still recruiting McCulley in full force and Jackson re-committed to Minnesota in April after none of the bigger schools that were recruiting him were willing to let him play QB. Once it became clear McCulley wasn't going to Purdue, Brohm got Jackson to commit by assuring him a chance to play QB.
You aren't going to convince me or any other IU fan that Brohm woke up Wednesday morning and decided to back off the QB he'd been recruiting the hardest and longest to flip a verbal to Minnesota who was recruited to play a different position. Had Jackson been Brohm's guy all along, he would have given him the chance to play QB back in January after he de-committed from Minnesota the first time.
