I read the thread. It has to be one of the all time @Ballz classics. Prentice is equal to Murao. Heims is on the same talent level as Tryon and Smalls. Caleb Berry will be better than Pleasant, McGrew and Newton (That's a high bar) and McCutcheon has Budda Baker type potential. Its a great time to be a Husky fan.

So being as good as Rich Newton is a high bar but Budda, Murao, Smalls, and Tryon isn’t? Uhhh??
I could see Berry being better than all 3 guys mentioned rather easily.

Zakhari Spears was the top CB recruit in California in his class and one of the top recruits in the country. If Zakhari wasn’t going to UW right now, he’d be going to Clemson. He committed to UW before blowing up. He was being recruited by Clemson before he committed to UW and shut it down. Had he stayed uncommitted and gone through the whole process, he would have gotten that offer from Clemson and many others and like I said, he would have blown up. Not a lot of 6’3 lock down corners out there. Any DB UW offers immediately starts getting more attention from other big schools if they weren’t already.

He’s legit. Ballz is right, he’s definitely one of the top 3-5 DBs on the coast.

Big difference between top 3-5 dbs and #1 db/top overall recruits in the country.

He’s going to be a r1-r2 pick if he ends up starting here. He’s Keith Taylor with ball skills.

Where are you getting the ball skills from? Not saying he doesn't have it, but I watched his whole junior highlight reel, and not only did it start with "65 tackles, 5 pbu," but he didn't make a single INT in the whole film. In fact, I watched the film and couldn't believe how similar he looked to KT in every way.

7on7 shit. I know underwear olympics etc etc.
but he can make plays on the ball.
That's not what he said. He called him one of the top recruits in the country.
The "shutting it down" myth is just that.
I've seen some clips of him making receptions on offense. Maybe Taylor had those in HS too. I dont know. He looks like he can catch.
He looks more like HS Kevin King than Taylor. King looked gangly as hell in his HS highlights and it was shocking to me when he later showed such good quickness. I thought he was going to be slow.

No shit most of our starters end up r1-r2 picks.
The point is that sometimes Ballz is completely wrong- but will never admit it.
Other times, like here, he is directionally right but ends up exaggerating so much he is still wrong.

Spears I thought was fine but his Junior film didn’t scream anything more than toolsy with some development need
Murao was more of an all around finished product coming out if HS than Prentice. That said Prentice has serious road grating potential. He’s an upper level player.
Heims is all development ... huge risk huge reward
Berry will likely be better than those 3 ... I’d be shocked if Newton didn’t end up in the portal in the next 12 months
McCutcheon seemed solid but didn’t wow me ... I liked Nunley as a S more
You don’t know a fucking thing. I believe you that he’s good. You don’t know much about recruits from the rest of the country.

Who gives a fuck?
Your vaunted classes got you 3-2 and a loss to some team called the Cyclones.
If you just want to be a part of an endless circle jerk of negativity, leave this baord and don’t come back. Vancouver is where you belong. The standard of this board is higher than that.
