So even though he was ranked a 4 star recruit by Rivals and Scout, he only had offers from UW, Vandy, Boise State, and Arizona. I always look at offers more than I do rankings (Danny Shelton ranked as a 3 star by Scout, wtf) but KJCS committed to Vandy early in the process since his brother was their incumbent QB there in 2013: anchorofgold.com/2014/3/26/5547468/2014-nfl-draft-capsules-austyn-carta-samuels-vanderbilt-football-quarterback
KJCS's brother wasn't good enough (only 6'1" and coming off an ACL tear) to make it to the NFL but Gary Pinkel thought enough of him as a student of the game to hire him as a GA: anchorofgold.com/2014/8/21/6054339/austyn-carta-samuels-joins-missouri-football-as-a-graduate-assistant
Moving back to KJCS, what is notable though is that he committed to James Franklin and Vandy all the way back on July 16th, 2012. After Franklin left Vandy after the 2013 season, KJCS committed to Petersen on January 22nd, 2014 so he basically had a year and a half where he had largely shut down his recruiting: https://washington.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1385812
If I had to guess, Sloppy Steve took 2 QBs (Miles and Williams) who were mobile QBs first and looked the part but weren't students of the game and were found to be lacking in the intangibles that a QB needs to win consistently. On the outside, we obviously don't know if KJCS (or Browning) has "IT" when it comes to CFB but one has to imagine they do based off of the QB play Petersen got out of his guys before coming to UW.
