Looking more and more like Jameson Purcell from Chicago suburban power Maine South HS could be the '27 QB commit. Would be crazy to have a guy of his caliber in the fold at QB before the season starts.
Matt Weaver was on with Sammy and TJ talking about it so I figured Purcell needed his own thread.
When was the last time IU had a lefty?

Love that we appear poised to land a top notch QB who is still multiple seasons away from joining the team on the field. Of course, then it will be can we can keep him in the fold until he signs and then can we keep him from transferring out before he plays.
QBs in 2027 (assuming the long shot of no one transferring in or out before then). If for some reason Cherry doesn't come back, he will likely be replaced in the portal
- Alberto Mendoza RS Jr
- Tyler Cherry RS So (or a portal replacement)
- Jacob Bell RS So
- Maverick Geske RS So (Walk-On)
- Cash Herrera RS Fr
- Jameson Purcell Fr
Unless Cash or Jameson are just that good, I expect Alberto will be the starting QB once his brother leaves.
But anyway, here's to hoping our QB room keeps getting more impressive. Can't hurt with recruiting other players.

4 days ago, in "Who's going to be Indiana next commit " I brought up the idea I thought it would be Purcell, and some reasons why. After hearing Matt on the podcast it sounds as though Purcell's commitment is closer than most here believed. Indiana has lots of reasons to be more positive than negative about Purcell selecting IU over his other major offers.

Sweet. Good start to ‘27 and QBs continue to like Chandler.
Fantastic get by the staff. Could really open things up for the 27 class.

Here is my write up. I am waiting on quotes from Jameson. We keep playing phone tag and he is on a beach trip
If he really turns 18 this fall, then that means he will be 20 as a freshman at IU.
Held back 2 years to have an advantage in sports?
Agree y'all, just awesome news that the first commitment to the 2027 class, is Jameson Purcell, QB extraordinaire.

Think that would be one year. After a quick check, in Illinois a child needs to be five years old by September first to start kindergarten.
Edit: Not sure why he was held back, but one year isn’t uncommon.
did I call this last week or not !!!!!https://twitter.com/jameson_purcell/status/1947309472906416361?s=46
