Sooners Hand Out Their First Official Offer To 2013 Quarterback


The Sooners first 2013 offer at quarterback was expected to be to a five star prospect, but the recipient of said offer may come as a surprise to some. Max Browne (Sammamish, WA) has confirmed to multiple recruiting services that he has received an official offer from Oklahoma and at least to this point, Browne is the only known offer at the position for OU thus far.

Star-divide

After his recent trip to Norman for Oklahoma's first Junior Day, many OU fans had expected five star Tyrone Swoopes to be the Sooners' first 2013 offer at the position. Just to be clear, this now confirmed offer to Browne does not mean Oklahoma will not still offer Swoopes or rule out the possibility that Swoopes could hold an OU offer and the recruiting services just haven't been able to confirm it.

But back to that talented Browne and what this offer could mean with respect to what the Sooners are looking for from the QB position in this 2013 class. As you can clearly see from Browne's highlights above, the young man is a very polished 'pro-style' passer especially for a high school junior. The two things that impress me the most are his footwork, which again for a h.s. junior is outstanding, and his athleticism for a kid who is 6'5" 200+ pounds. He's not just a statue back there, but when he does move around in the pocket you can clearly see him keeping his eyes down field. He's definitely more of that pro-style than a guy like Swoopes, but he's also in that mold that OU seems to favor of late in that he can also make plays with his legs when he needs to.

As we mentioned before, Browne is one of the early five star recruits for 2013 and is the #8 overall player and top QB in the Rivals Top 100. He already holds offers from Alabama, Arizona State, Cal, Clemson, USC, Washington, and Wisconsin with the strong likelihood that many more will come. It's obviously very early in the process so it's tough to gauge what OU's actual chances are of landing the young man might be. He seems to be aware of Oklahoma's success with the QB position based on a quote from an interview he gave of September of last year.

"Right now, my top three schools would be Oklahoma, USC and Stanford," Browne said. "With Oklahoma, I really like their passing offense and they have had some great success at the quarterback position. Jason White won a Heisman, Sam Bradford was the top pick in the draft and now Landry Jones is really lighting it up. - ESPiN

Ugh

I thought the general idea was to incorporate guys that can HELP the team with their feet at the QB position…not sign another #12. Is the kid polished? Yes, he obviously is. I’m just not overly impressed with his running ability. Bob will never let him run.

Wow

That is bad. I thought he looked a bit more mobile, but nowhere near where he needs to be for Bob to allow him to run. Hell, Sam looked to be about twice as mobile as this guy and he got to run like 8 times in 3 years.

He looks like one of those quarterbacks that’s great in high school but a bust in college but he still has a year in high school left so we will just have to wait and see how he progresses

There could be some of that

I’ve already read one (and brace yourself) comparison of him and Garrett Gilbert.

Swoopes

I would rather have Browne than a Five star that thinks he deserves to come in as a Red Shirt and start. Our QB’s is recent history have done fine as Statues. Having a Mobile QB helps but can also hurt you. It makes you more prone to injury look at Micheal Vick this last year and we all know OU’s Injury record. We dont need to worry about our Qb’s as much as scoring in the red zone, learning how to use Tight ends effectively, and run the ball like we use too. Swoopes isn’t where its at

by Denny Cargal on Feb 13, 2012 11:40 AM CST up reply actions  

I would argue the idea that we don't need to worry about our QBs as much as RZ scoring

Newsflash…the QB was the ONLY ONE scoring in the RZ at the end of the year. The QB is the most integral part of this offense. And when it was off…the offense was atrocious. Until the OL grows a collective set and can move people off the ball with regularity, thus allowing OU to run the ball well, every week, this team is going to need a QB that is a game changer. Frankly, I’d like to see one that can do it with his feet as well as his arm.

and if we keep that up even Bell will get pancaked and stuffed.

OU has not shown anything creative in that formation. Same thing every time, run left, run right, run up the middle. Bell does a good job and it is strength and vision of the field that make most of the scores possible, but how about getting a real RB that can score in the RZ multiple ways and using the TE’s as well.

No arguments from me

OU has to get the OL to push people around and has to make the zone read a staple of the offense with Bell in the game. Plus, they have to allow him to throw. And by that I mean he must get reads and actual routes. None of this one WR slant crap.

Whoa there chicken littles

The kid looks really good with his arm and pocket presence, plus he’s a winner. He was Washington player of the year as a junior? Wow. And Stanford wants him, so he’s got some brains. If you watched the tape, you know he’s not a statue back there. As JTE pointed out, the kid has good footwork, better than Landry, if you ask me.

by inocybe on Feb 13, 2012 9:24 AM CST reply actions  

I see a lot of hopping in the pocket and a penchant to half scramble (always to the right)

even when pressure is not presenting itself. #12 also does this…and gets sacked a lot because of it. I just want an athlete back there. Tired of the statues. And face it, if Bob won’t let him run, he effectively becomes a statue.

I too liked what I saw from Swoopes

I want an athlete back there. I’m done with the statues. If the running game is going to struggle because of OL or RBs or whatever, the answer is (in part) at the QB position. If you can’t run consistently, you don’t win consistently.

Swoopes did say this weekend

After his visit to Texas, that he wanted to play close to home. Said Oklahoma would be as far as he would go. Now things can change of course, but IMO that means it’s probably down to UT, OU (assuming we offer/pursue), and one or two other TX schools.

No need to change the offense

Unless you can get your hands on a once in a million player (VY, Tebow, Cam Newton) theres no reason to change the offense that has gotten you all the records, big 12 champs, 2 heismans (should be 3), and 1 NC (+3 NC losses)…Heupel and our offense would work best with a Tom Brady/ Peyton Manning type QB…not a Michael Vick type QB…BAMA and LSU have done it game managing QB’s and dominant defense…we have better offenses than they do, we just need to work on defense.

but he’s also in that mold that OU seems to favor of late in that he can also make plays with his legs when he needs to.

In the last 5 years I don’t seem to recall OU having a mobile QB( jumping up and down with Happy Feet is not mobile). If the staff favors the mobile QB then why have we not seen one live and in person?

And yet you want to immediately discount the use of a true athlete at the QB position

Look at RG3, the kid almost didn’t have to run in the second half of this year. The threat of the run is what does the most in the passing game…especially in the boot/sprint out game. Nobody is saying we have to have a Tebow (a guy that runs 20 times a game). All I want is a guy that can get 10 carries a game and make them count. That threat is huge.

Browne is their only offer so far, I think you’d have to say it was him. If I had to put the top four in order now, I’d guess: (1) Browne, (2) Hilinski, (3) Swoopes, (4) Scott (and Scott could be #3 IMO. I’m just not sure how high they are on Swoopes as a QB)

^ how many I meant

by theres only one ou on Feb 13, 2012 1:39 PM CST via mobile up reply actions  

It will depend

On who the coaches feel are legitimately interested. If Browne were to visit, which he’s said he will (not a matter of if but when per his own words), he and Heupel hit it off, and he commits early then I don’t think we’d offer another QB. So it would just depend on how things play out.

Assuming Browne doesn’t commit early . . .

Obviously Browne has one now, I’d expect at some point Swoopes gets one (unless he commits elsewhere before OU offers), I could see Kelly Hilinski getting one (he was supposed to be at the first Junior Day, but was told by the OU coaches to hold off on the trip), the local kid (Brayden Scott) will get one. That would be a possible four, maybe depending on how things play out they hand out one or two more. So I’d say no more than six at the absolute most and that’s only if things go horribly.

But they need to be careful not to alienate Scott. He’s no slouch, and while they might regard him as their “safety” choice, they can’t just take him for granted.

I say if we are going to stay a pass happy offense then we better get a qb who is collective, cool,and calm under pressure. I don’t know if I can take any more of this panic and throw the ball wherever under duress. I wish we would go back to a ground and pound with a fearsome defense.

I totally agree with the 'Bone

I also think a team CAN pass from that formation effectively.

I’ve been in the HFJ club. He can’t handle pressure. And idc he’s not Bradford not many are. Just not looking forward to another year of interceptions and panicking under pressure. Just throw the ball away not into triple coverage or straight into a safety.

Oh

Well at least we can say he moves around in the pocket lol

LOL

Too bad it ain’t calisthenics, eh? Hahaha!

I’m just tired of yelling, “Nooooo! Don’t throw it!!!” Just before a WR gets destroyed or a pick is thrown.

Jumping up and down does not qualify as mobile or moving in the pocket

You didn’t sound snooty at all. Just tired of watching Landry make the same mistakes year in and out.

I can't stand the stupid mistakes for no reason other than sheer panic.

I think he’s a good QB who can’t get out of his own head. He constantly throws off his back foot, which causes him to throw high, because he feels pressure that isn’t there from time to time. He’s guaranteed to make atleast one bonehead play a game just because he panics.

What about

…his affinity for throwing interceptions at the most inopportune time? Or going down in the backfield from the slightest touch of a pass rusher? Or how he slides 4 yards from the first down marker when the closest defender is 6 yards away? And the constant look of confusion on the sidelines?? Especially after an interception! That guy wasnt there before!!

And

I say affinity because he does it so much he has to enjoy it right? Especially in the red zone!

He's good for a couple of head scratchers every game

My personal favorite

is the scramble (always to the right) out of the pocket, for no reason, only to get sucked up by a DT and get sacked. That is amazing.

The thing is

Even when Landry is having a good game without the mistakes you described, I’ve noticed that he’ll occasionally just throw the ball away quickly when he doesn’t see anyone open. Glad that he’s not forcing it on those occasions, but WTF? Nobody’s about to tackle him – why doesn’t he wait to see if something opens up?

Man, I have a busy day and miss out on some good conversation

This kid looks good for a junior, there is some talent there. I’d personally rather have Swoopes but thats just because he’s a freak. I think we gotta offer Swoopes and if we don’t get him, this kid will do in a pinch
