LATE 2017 SIGNEE: WR Malik Flowers- Fontana, CA

[The_Real_Chief]

The hype beasts are creaming themselves right now...lets see what he can do first

Since it is the same with every recruit, I would like to say "Thanks Captain Obvious".

Glad to have your two cents on this, thanks!

I'm guessing you wouldn't be critical of what posters think of this kid if he was that blue-collar, hard-working, farm-type, up every day at 4 a.m. before school to work the ranch, never-give-up kid from Scobey or Glasgow though? Then, the hype machine is ALWAYS justified. As long as, and only if, it's a kid from Montana.

Nope i'd say the same thing, I don't get into the recruiting bullshit. I like to evaluate prospects after their freshman year, i.e. how they have looked in practice or if they made it on the field as a true freshman how they performed. See below, Not ranked.

Well, without that recruiting BS, how the hell are college football teams supposed to get their players? Without evaluating HIGH SCHOOL talent, where in the sam hell do you propose college football players come from?

I was under the impression the new receivers we had were fastest we have had in a long time. Then I see this kids time and it sounds like our others aren't so fast?

I would guess that Flowers is just particularly fast for a receiver at the FCS level.

Clearly they should save some time and money and just get ol' Chief's take on things.

Whoa there George, calm down and take a few deep breaths there buddy.

I like to pick my lottery numbers a couple days after the drawing.

 

[fanofzoo]

I would plant fake news about the best team, get the coach fired and then pick up the best proven talent.
Could work.

I would sure like to see Sulser and Malik on the field together.. Just looking at the track times that I pulled of the interwebs it would be a lot of speed on the field.. feel free to correct me if you have updated or better track times. Judging from the tape they both have great football speed. Here is a video of a workout with malik. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON_Hohxngdo some fast footwork there.

Sulser
110 hurdles 14.24
100 meter 11.00

Flowers
110 hurdles 13.93
100 meter 11.17

And Malik didn't run the 100m as a senior. Given his .73 second improvement on his hurdle time from Junior to Senior season, I'm guessing he runs sub 11 sec in the 100m if he'd run it.

Bump

 

[grizfan1984]

Are we sure this guy is still coming? He is not listed on Gogriz roster, the university has not made it official that I know of and there is nothing on his twitter indicating that he is committed or signed with us, he has a picture of him all dressed in University of Arizona gear. Anybody know?

 

[AZGrizFan]

Instagram still says "Montana Commit".

I'd say this announcement on GoGriz.com would make it official:
