If people listened to the last Podcast for CanesInSight Lance and DMoney went over shuttle time being much more important when finding a trend on kids becoming all conference players and Flagg was right where he needed to be with numbers for a All Conference LB

It only makes sense. LBs play in a small box, sideline to sideline is what makes them good. Quick burst and explode thru the runner. I just don’t get the 40 time crap. Well I do but, it’s not the end all.
 
Pros:
Tackling machine
Leader on an elite HS team
Houston area kid (need to start hitting DFW/Houston areas again) - kids from there, imo, are as close to a sofla type kid as there is

Cons:
Speed

Not hung up on his height because we've seen many college LBs excel even while lacking that classic 6-2 height. My biggest concern is speed but as we all know, timing at these regional openings can be all over the place and even the elite kids don't test that great. My guess is that he'll be closer to a 4.7 kid by the time he enrolls.

40 is more so long speed. He has plenty quickness. Cons would be long speed.

Jaquan J ran a 4.7 and excelled as a safety in this defense. I doubt Shaq or Pinckney are any faster, just great instincts guys and good tacklers.

This was the comparison that came to mind. Jaquan was a local legend with an obvious athletic ceiling. I wish the kid was faster, but the production and instincts show better than I expected.

He's produced against good competition so I'm not as concerned about the 40 time. He's also pretty solidly built at 5'10" 220. I'd be concerned if he was playing at 190 and only running a 4.9.

At the very least he provides quality depth.
 
There are camp kids and there are football players. You take an incredibly productive football player from a Texas 6A state championship team. The kid's short shuttle is more than fine. These are the types of kids become very productive college players. Like the pick up.

The highlights show he lacks top speed. But he does have great instincts. Someone mentioned Daryl Sharpton in another thread. That would be awesome if Flagg ended up that productive for us.

His instinct will probably make him a starter one day

He’s bigger, faster and more productive than McCluster who people were *****ing and moaning about when we “lost out on him” and he committed to FSPOO. I think the kids a baller and will be a stud in our system.

People tend to focus on stars and 40 time. But this is the type of player that excels in our system and on STs.

I’m not sure if he is planning on anymore camps but if he can get a verified lower 40 time and do that thing where he gets 150 tackles a season, he’ll be a 4 star and the mob will love him.
