'10 WA QB Jake Heaps

"Definitely when you look at high school and college spread offenses, they put up pretty numbers and open up the field, but if you look at how many spread quarterbacks are successful professionally, the numbers do not lie either," Heaps said.
Heaps then added how that will affects his decision process.
"All of the schools I am looking at in my top 10 are pro style offenses because that is my ultimate goal in the sport, to get to the NFL," said Heaps.
When he heard the discussion above on the NFL network, he instantly connected with what they were saying.
"Georgia runs that multiple pro offense well, while still catering to the strengths of their quarterback. David Greene was a classic drop back passer who was successful, Shockley showed he could make plays on the run at Georgia, and Stafford was a mixture who excelled at it all," said the Sammamish native.
Heaps continued, "When you look at that Georgia has done a great job developing quarterbacks, so that is why they are a very intriguing program for me."

Well, Kiff has had some bad-arse players make it to the NFL... Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart, plus he recruited Mark Sanchez, who will be one of the first 2 QBs taken this year. I'd put those three up against Greene, Shockley, and Stafford any day. Heisman's and National Championship's speak for themselves.

I don't know if it is more likely that he would be a better player or speaker than Peyton. Peyton could probably be President if he wanted. At least all his ads would be hilarious (hitting a kid in the back of the head with a bullet pass)

He is obviously really impressed with Tennessee, but it sure sounds like it is going to be hard to get him to leave UW.

I just don't see him going to UW...IMO he really wants to be a pro, and UT is where it's at. Don't forget that this is the same Huskie team that didn't win a game last year. Not to mention he'll be playing behind Locker his freshman year.

"I've gotta support my Dawgs," explained Heaps with a laugh. "I've been a die-hard Husky fan my whole life, so I had a great time cheering on the Huskies and rooting for them to get that Pac-10 championship. It was a lot of fun being around the environment of Hec Ed. I've been used to it my whole life - there's nothing like it."

I think we may end up waiting for this kid only to see him go to UW.

I just don't see him risking his career to play for a program that will continue to be bad for a long time. That program is in the crapper.

Heaps looked every bit the No. 1 quarterback in the country on Saturday in leading his team to a 3-0 record, but an upset loss in the first round of the playoffs sent the No. 1 seed home early.

Not much news, but I figured I'd post it. Heaps missed UW's Junior Day to attend this 7 on 7 tournament. Junior Day would have been a good opportunity to do some of his own recruiting if he was really that enthusiastic about UW :)

...or it might have just been a schedule conflict

KIFFIN should get him to commit to us if UW is our only real contestant

its hard for kids to grow up die hard fans and then have a chance to play for that team and decide to go somewhere else... would you guys not commit to ut no matter what the circumstances are?

It is just everybody's biased opinion. Washington is definitely the team to beat and I will be shocked if he doesn't end up there mainly for the reason you mentioned. Also, they have a new staff that is going to run basically the same offense as UT.
