This is who my money's on come 2021 (give him a year to get his bearings) although the sheep are going to be sucking Huard's dick the moment he steps foot on UW's campus.
The problem Garbars if facing is the low IQ level of many a Washington fan. Those sheep eat up anything and everything the media sells them on. All those tards see is Huard's recruiting rating, the fact he comes from a line of former UW QB's and that he's local. This shit is going to be Jacob Eason all over again as far as the media and the low IQ fans are concerned.
A big part of it is can UW's staff coach them up. They didn't do so hot with Browning and Eason.
Trevor Lawrence has played in two National Championship games and can go pro after this season. If Jacob Sirmon was the #2 behind Lawrence and hasn't started a game then something is wrong somewhere. What am I missing? Is he slated to be the starter this season?
Other than Jake Haener, every UW QB under Petersen was a 247 top 100 QB. Heaner had a year of experience over Sirmon, Browning had two, and then Eason came in the picture. Colson Yankoff who was in the same class as Sirmon transferred to UCLA as soon as Eason entered the picture, Sirmon was headed for the transfer portal at the same time Yankoff was and changed his mind at the last minute. Haener transferred to Fresno St. the day after Eason was named the starter. Now Sirmon has Dylan Morris breathing down his neck who was the 4th rated pro style QB in the country according to 247. If Sirmon loses out to Morris he's going to transfer. Then you have 5* rated Huard coming in next year's class and sitting in between him and Morris is Ethan Garbers who's no slouch and possibly the best of the bunch. Anyone who thinks college teams can stockpile their roster with these kind of QB's these days is mentally retarded. The new transfer rules have all but assured that these kids aren't going to sit on the bench if they think they can get playing time somewhere else. Petersen fvcked up by adding Eason and if Lake signs JT Daniels then he's asking for trouble.
It's important to take two QBs a year for most cycles. Knowing one will transfer out within 2 seasons. In Herman's first full recruiting class (not the transition class) he got Casey Thompson and Cam Rising signed. As soon as Sam cemented his status as the QB, both put in their names for the transfer portal.. Casey ended up staying while Cam ended up at Utah.
One bad class can set you back for several seasons.. however with this pandemic we have going on, SC should benefit the most. Seems like schools will give out the extra year of eligibility, and if SC can bounce back with a top 15 class in 21 and 22.. they may have navigated through the 20 class. They need to beef up the OL
Just odd you're talking about so many guys recruited and signed by Petersen and we haven't seen much of any of them. I mean it's great you have the #2 and #4 but if you think so highly of them why even bring in a kid with only a year left. It's not like you were like an Ohio State and only needed a QB to be great. And you're right. They will all mostly think they should be a starter and who ever doesn't win the job will probably transfer. Imagine if it was this easy or common for QBs to move when Browne was chosen over Darnold that one season and Darnold said fuck this I'm gone. As fucked as USCs been imagine what would have happened with no Darnold there for the rest of that sason. Wait, then Clay would have been gone like two seasons ago.lol
Petersen was HC at UW for 6 years. Cyler Miles (Sarks recruit) was QB for his first season, Jake Browning played four years as starting QB after that and then Eason last season.
