He looks like an excellent developmental guy that will bear fruits in two years or so.

 

[Full Speed Ahead]

Pierce, you got your ticket to "Get On the Boat". Elite choice !!!

Also had a Bowling Green offer. Finally beat those bastards!!!!!!

Fleck definitely shows a tendency towards guys with service academy offers. Will be interesting to see how he develops.

Can he throw the ball? Combine that with an inability to read a defense and we may be living in 2015 again

Makes sense, if he gets any taller he would be unlikely to stick at WR but if he can add some weight he could become a receiving TE.

You're spot on with this comment! I agree, give him a couple years and he'll be a great one for us!

Look at him!!!!

This could be our highest rated jawline ever!

 

[Gophers_4life]

OK but seriously, what was the "5.5*" comment?? Hopefully not 5.50 40 time.

Cinco de Mayo??

Rivals rating. Instead of the ~70-100 scale 247 uses, they rate on ~5.0-6.1. They give the vast majority of Gophers commits a 5.5.

Kinda looks like a young Bill Hadar

How silly.

Everyone knows the basic 1-5 stars system. Let's stick to that, please!

His mistake was putting a * after the 5.5. Everyone (including you) knows Rivals has the 5-6 rating scale. It's a weird choice for a number range though....

 

[Gophers_4life]

I actually did not know that. I never look at a second tier service like Rivals, I only ever look at 247.

I'm confused, TEs can receive passes...?

 

[hungan1]

Do three-star recruits like Pierce Walsh not waste time if a D1 offer comes up? The competition window can close up fast if they dilly-dally.

I would think the Gophers development program is becoming very attractive.

A four-star player may have a little more luxury of picking and choosing.

Hopefully KC has had an epiphany in this regard!

 

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

Go Gophers!!

Jawline continues to impress!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Please don’t bring him up again. I have been in therapy for years so I can stop having convulsions whe he is brought up

 

[The SF Rock]

So how good is the younger brother?

Academic and aptitude requirements at the academies are super high. The kid must be really smart.
