    To the experts out there, what makes Huard a better high school quarterback with bigger potential than Jake Browning out of high school? Is his arm that much better at this point? His accuracy? His touch? Jake set national records in high school and probably would have great 7v7 highlights also. I am just pessimistically fearing that we might be putting Sam on a pedestal and that he ends up a left handed Browning. I see similar traits. I could be totally off base. I'll take your answers in the comments.

    Arm is stronger. His touch is better. Better athlete. A little bigger. Better bloodlines. I get where you are coming from but he’s a little better in basically every area that matters.

    Browning was a really good HS QB tho. And he was pretty good at UW until halfway thru his junior year.

    His arm isn't Eason's but it's a full grade above Browning's.

    I don't think anybody from Kennedy is being hailed as some sort of offensive genius who will be a Pac level OC in three years.

    Set aside all that and as I've said before he's a fucking pied piper that skill players want to play with.

    Whoever heard of a HS junior QB having a big impact on the college choice of high four star senior WR's?

    He's an alpha's alpha.

    I *get* the skepticism because QB Messias are about as trustworthy as the Doog Messiah, but Huard is the real thing. I've never been more confident in a recruit.

    He's all conference by his sophomore year at the latest.

    Get all the screenshots you need.
    I love it when y'all talk dirty.




    Woooood

    Washington five-star quarterback commit Sam Huard continued to show why he's one of the top-ranked passers in the country over the weekend with another strong showing at the Pylon 7-on-7 National Tournament played about an hour outside of Las Vegas.

    The 6-foot-2, 175-pound lefty out of Burien (Wash.) Kennedy Catholic was named to the 247Sports All-Tournament Dream Team in lead his FSP squad.

    "Huard was last year's MVP after helping lead FSP Blue Chip to the tourney title," 247Sports Brandon Huffman wrote. "This year, they came up short in the quarterfinals, but Huard was the best quarterback there through two days- he was just plagued by drops all weekend. The No. 1 pro-style passer nationally, he's committed to Washington."




    For those of you brave enough:

    Makes it look easy, as always.

    Concern is who is making all these drops?
    Jr and Alexander.
    So...Junior Alexa Derek made all the drops?

    Or did you mean Tinae and Alexander. That would be too bad since they're the ones UW is going to get.
    Those guys scare me because while they might be good, Huard would make a lot of high school WR’s look good.

    The chemistry aspect might be important or it might not be. I would prefer we got maybe one to go with Egbuka and Franklin. Those guys as our top WR’s would be disappointing.
    I think the familiarity/chemistry is worth something. I'm not sure how much.

    Egbuka is the best HS receiver I can recall UW having a legit shot at. I'm going to puke if he doesnt go to UW. I'd be good with him and the two Kennedy guys. I'd be fine with taking all four. Franklin plus the two kennedy guys would be a great class, but there's no mitigating for missing a guy like Egbuka when he's in state.
    Exactly how I feel, the bleach is gonna be on deck

    Huard's arm has gotten better in the last year. He is certainly a step above Browning at this point. His ball placement and anticipation is almost Tua level.

    As far as the Messiah stuff goes, he will still need generational talent at WR and RB in order to win a CFP game. Unless he grows to 6'5" he still wont have the physicality to truly challenge a high elite defense.

    I see him as a much better version of Jake Browning, like a supercharged Browning.
