Hmm. I wonder if this means anything with Mendoza -- I kinda hoped we might get a commit from him today or tomorrow.

He is a true RPO guy and has some wheels. I too am intrigued by him. He showed a lot of poise in that tight game at Wisconsin when Allar got hurt.
Thought this guy couldn't pass well enough to be our QB,, but I looked at his stats this year,,,,wow,,,,,26/35 (74.3%), 275 yds, 5 TDs, 1 int, 181.7 ER......also, 242 rush yds, 6.4 ypc. He's obviously a tough run first kind of guy, but geez..........
To give some context to the #s above....the majority of his passing and rushing yards were in 3 games;
--Kent St.....6/9 for 83 yds, 45 yds rushing
--at Wisconsin.....11/13, 98 yds, 98 yds , 28 yds rushing
--at Purdue....5/8, 58 yds, 56 yds rushing
He’s a true dual-threat QB. Todd Centeio and Jordan McCloud had some great success in Cigs system as dual-threat QB’s.
THREE incompletions against PURDUE?!
Sounds disqualifying.
J/K , would love us to get him. He was a 5.7 rivals coming out of high school, highlights show some good stuff at Penn State too.
Oooh I like this guy. Come on Coach give him a reason. We play at Penn State 1st week of November. He might be looking forward to that specific opportunity.
It’s fun to imagine a guy like him in that offense. Just another wrinkle to add to all the other wrinkles in the offense. But I really value a guy like Rourke because the threat to pass always trumps making plays on your feet.
Centeio threw for 2700 yards and McCloud 3600 yards despite being runners.
Cig and IU can’t wait on a QB. It will be pribula or Mendoza. Whomever commits first. It’s looking like to me anyway.
I’m predicting Pribula commits on his visit this weekend unless Mendoza commits by Friday.
