I've only been in the area since 1990, but the best QB I've seen in person down here is James Brown of West Brook. Beasley probably #2 with Chip Ambres #3 and then Dustin Long. I'll also through in Michael Bishop. I saw him dismantle a pretty good LCM in'94.

Vince Young is far and away the best high school player I have seen at any position. I was at that 61-58 game too. Had you traded the quarterbacks' date=' and given Vince to North Shore and given Willie Gaston(a good high school qb in his own right) to Madison. North Shore would have won 80-10 had they wanted. You could have stuck Vince on Houston Reagan or Vidor or Houston Smiley and they would have been a threat to win a state championship. I don't think some people appreciate how horrible that Madison defense was. Courtney Lewis was good on offense as were a couple of their receivers, but it was typical HISD team other than that. They had poor fundamentals and despite having a little bit of talent, they would not have been above .500 had they not had Vince. Put him at the helm and they are a few plays from the state championship.

Other than him, Drew Tate, Ell Roberson, Odell James, Ced Cormier, James Brown, Chip Ambres.

PAJ had a guy that i liked. I can't remember his name. He was there when Lendon Henry was there. His name might have been West. I always thought hewas a productive qb for high school.

Beasley of course is great. I seriously said when I saw him that if he were 3 inches taller, he would be one of the top ranked qb recruits. His passing was pretty good if you ask me. He of course had excellent quickness. I'd put him right there with Drew Tate tied for second place. But both are light years behind Vince Young.[/quote']

Beasley was 115-202-11 for 1943 yards... I really wouldn't call that "weak".

Coop...then why do they not have him in that position????

Well, the fact that he's 5'10 doesn't help his stock as a college QB. If he were taller, I'd put him up there w/ Young. I had the chance to see Young play in HS and their styles were very similar. In college, he'll be much more of a weapon catching the ball, returning kicks and defending the pass.
