I’m with you on the receiving group. Sowell was a miss, explains why Prime let him go at Colorado. He can make some plays but for being the #1 target he has consistently underperformed with bad drops at critical times.

Possibly….There are pathways for full ride academic scholarships for Srudent-Athletes that actually qualify.
They did have some special plays offense for Flora early in the season, but he injured his hamstring returning a punt. Since he has been back from the injury, didn't he have a drop or Rocco missed him for a TD. I can't remember.
Right after the drop Saturday, Sowell made a catch and broke a tackle for an important 3rd down conversion. I haven't given up on him or the other receivers. I think there is talent, they just need to play better. Much like Rocco. Some of our best receivers in recent history had issues with drops. Noel was one that overcame that.

I was kinda wondering about his speed before the season. Now I know... he's fast!

I said it in the game thread, but with his ability, I would tell him that if he can see any green grass in front of him, no fair catches on kicks or punts unless there's a solid reason to be conservative.
Listened to Two Guys to hear Hassel cry about another big one that got away. He didn’t disappoint. When Flora’s name came up so did Hassel’s jerk meter. Made fun of his voice and asked CW— “How old is that kid?” CW missed a good opportunity to let Hassel know Flora is old enough and easily tough enough to kick his a$$.

He played all of the skill positions on offense during his time at ADM.
It was 1993 but the class sizes at that time were between 100-110. The growth really hit about 10 years ago when a 7 year tax abatement was created. I was a teacher in the community and have lived here for 40 years.
No offense to the kid but I saw enough of him catching passes a couple of weeks ago
Williams always and I mean always lays down to Hassel.
adds up, I graduated from Panorama High in 97 and we'd play them in baseball/football
In all fairness, he let one go thru his hands, but Roco has overthrown him on several occasions.
Anyone writing off Sowell as a miss...doesn't know football. He was hurt early...and has disappointed to an extent...but the talent is clearly there and the consistency will emerge. May not see his full ability until next season...but we will see it. Players have the game slow down for them...no telling just when that light turns on.
I watched him his senior season and he was a do it all QB, but he had a tendency to get dinged up. He was super fast and athletic, but I wasn't sure he was big enough to compete at the D1 level. I feel like it can be hard to measure with 4A kids who don't have measurables that jump out at you like Will Hawthorn from Gilbert.
