Webber moved to Kearney from Arizona last year. His dad is a professional shooting coach. 6'6" wing who averaged 18 PPG and shot 42% from 3 on 8.3 attempts per game as a sophomore for the Bearcats.
He played for ETG in Omaha last spring and summer, starting on the 16U team then moving up to the 17U one. I watched 31 of his games (15 with the 16U team, 16 with the 17U team). He shot 39.1% from 3 on 9.6 attempts per game, a ton of them off movement and a handful off the dribble. I've never seen a shot-hunter quite like him come through here. He ended up leading the 17U team in scoring average. Special shooting prospect. He also has pretty good touch from mid-range and in. He doesn't really care if there's a hand in his face; he's going to shoot almost every time he touches it if he has even a little space. Concerns would be he doesn't do a ton else other than shooting and he needs to get better laterally to hold up on defense.
Iowa offered him in June after he hit 9 3s in a game in front of McCaffery. Cal and Washington have also offered.

Sounds really confident. Hopefully as a coach's son, he's got the work ethic to back it up. What you've said about his shooting ability is really tantalizing, especially at 6'6. Your description reminds of Buddy Hield.

if you have one trick - you need to be elite at it.
but the argument from a cultural (unselfish ball movement and going from good to great shot) and skill standpoint makes him an interesting case. Seems like a classic wait and see.
