Yes, please.

Oregon makes his top 5. Definitely one of the top WRs around. It would be great to land him.

With that offer list he is only ranked #104 at his position and a 3 star???????????????????? It is interesting the only schools camp he attended didn't offer.

I think it is because USC is limited on the number of scholarships available so they need to be more selective in who they offer. I am sure by years end he will move to a 4* rating. The offer list is amazing.

Just in case he wants to come out west, I feel very good about his top 5. UCLA has very few rides left.

Nice. We need some big time WRs in this class.

According to scouting reports, he isn't a burner, but has great hands and runs good routes. Sounds like Jeff Maehl. Flowers would be a big pickup. It's nice that Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Miami aren't in his top 5.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

Flowers is a tall, lanky wide receiver that is a long strider and with very good hands, toughness and playmaking ability. He is an elusive glider with long arms and makes for a large target with a wide catch radius. He has a lean frame. He is one of those prospects that does many things well, but you just wish he were faster. He has good height and can present some mismatch problems. He is a natural hand catcher with soft, reliable hands. Big target that is smart and can find open areas vs. zone coverage. He is not real physical yet, but he is willing to go inside and catch in traffic. Will make tough catches in traffic-- can catch with defenders around him, shows excellent concentration and focus and will extend above his head to snag balls at its highest point. Has excellent hands-- can make tough adjustments outside his frame. Knows how to elbow and position himself and use his frame. He can build up his speed quickly after the catch. He has a lot of big-play flair to him-- when matched-up one on one, he can win the jump ball. However, Flowers despite his size and elusiveness lacks top end speed and sudden change-of-direction skills. He can win on vertical routes because of his size and ability to attack the ball and he has very good instincts, but we are concerned that at the next level he lacks the second gear and speed to get over the top of faster, quicker DB's and as a result may end up being more of a possession-type that is exciting and reliable. Must bulk up and add strength to become more physical versus press coverage and in the red area. Overall, it is easy to see why Flowers makes an impression because he makes plays in all three levels of the passing game and has good measurables.

ESPN ranks him 29th among wr's
