per Joe:

Pat Poore, the Gophers assistant who recruits Texas, took interest in the late bloomer. Still had 704 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior. Poore watched him dominate on the basketball court, too.

“Coach Poore was the only one who pictured him down the road,” Brown said. “Rashad’s not from an affluent background. I said, ‘Give him three meals a day, and he’ll get bigger in a hurry.’ ”

Sure enough, Still weighs 211 pounds, up from 185 when he arrived on campus last summer.

“He is more focused, obviously,” Gophers coach Tracy Claeys said early in camp. “He is much stronger and bigger.”

The same day Claeys said this, Still also dropped a routine pass.

“He has great hands, but it’s a fundamental thing,” Claeys said. “He looked upfield before he put the ball away.”

Go Gophers!!
 


If Still can put it all together (hand, route running, etc.) I think he has the potential to do some really big things in college. When I've gone to practice he's the one receiver that really jumps out at me as being a freak athlete.
 

I think Still has the best chance to make it to the league out of anyone from the 2015 class. The fluidity and athleticism he showed on his Michigan and Illinois corner end zone TD's at 6-5 just scream NFL receiver IMO. Was easily my favorite recruit when we signed him.
