if you want to get overly excited, go watch his hudl tape on 247. I get it's lower division, but still

As far as I can tell he didn’t get tackled last year.

Ok. Hear me out on this. Theory.

I think Fleck is selling that UM is a 4 (or 5) year life program. Although he has NIL money, he's not going to buy a new team every year. This is a family and though they will go get someone if it is a position of need, he is promoting a family, life learning, team building, lifetime friendship program. Doesn't resonate with everyone, but with some it does, especially some mom and dad's. That's why he has such an unusually high amount of high school recruits compared to most others.

Thoughts?

Looks like De’Anthony Thomas when at Oregon, spread the D out wide as possible, give the RB big lanes

I agree. IMO 5-star players are selfish and not team players. Those type of players aren't good fits for PJ. He's all about team, no one above anyone else.
