Sorry Rice I was adding as I went lol. We posted it at the same time. I wasn't expecting a commit today.

No problem, I was just going to add it, I'll delete mine.

[HogWildBison2011]

Its all good rice.  :razorback: :razorback:

[ricepig]

Great program to make an in road into. Nice pickup too! Welcome Maleek, WPS.

[TheRazorback500]

Good to hear. WPS!

:razorback:

[ARtillahog]

WOW! Huge pick up! This kid is blazing fast!

[trphog]

Hog yeah!

[Pig in the Pokey]

WOW! Huge pick up! This kid is blazing fast!

glad to have him but what do we call it when a 5 star commits if a 2 star committing gets a "huge pick up!"? sorry, couldn't resist.


edit- 3 star on Scout. Getting warmer...

If u dont want 2 stars to commit all you gota do is come in here and tell us all about how they are for sure gona be a hog and they will go elsewhere ... You proved that last year pokey lmao

[jjdlc]

Looks like a great pick up.  Played RB quite a bit in HS, potentially a good return man.

Drew Morgan might have something to say to you.





Happy he's a hog!  :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

Over 11 yards per touch rushing and receiving in one of the best football districts in Texas. Please share some more of your infinite wisdom. I could use a good laugh.

[Wildhog]

I'm excited about anyone that we take this early.

Welcome aboard, Maleek.

[BentonvilleJeff]

Glad he's a Hog!

[HogFather1]

I agree. If we take someone this early, believe me, we REALLY want them

[Hawgzinbowlz]

Welcome to " THE HILL " Mr. Maleek Barkley.

" GO HOGS "

[online-with-swine]

Nice highlights.  Got some quick change of direction and speed as well.

[rzrbk4life]

Woo pig. Kid looks fast

[Dominicanhog]

reminds me of a cross between Drew (route running)and Cornelius (catching and running) except more speed... speaking of JC, can anyone ever remember him dropping a pass?     

[Seebs]

I love that this kid has separation.  I love that this kid shoots out of the pack like a fetus after a Doritos. I love tha twe are on him and believe in him early which may hold off the offers tha twill be coming from the Oregon, UCLA and USC camps in a few months. 

Arkansas recruiting is now known for this. Just like the LB Harris last year. We get a commit early, not rated highly, a few of you complain on stars and the rest of us hold our collective breath until he signs with us after Bama, LSU, et al,  come calling. 

Our coaches can spot talent. This player was on someone's 'A' list on staff - good enough for me.

[SemperHawg]

For those of you unfamiliar, Bishop Gorman is a D-1 talent factory that rivals any of the big prep schools in Texas or Florida.  This kid plays against other D-1 caliber athletes day in a day our at BG.  Also don't be surprised if we end up having to fight off a west coast school like UCLA or USC to hang on to this one by the time signing day comes around.  Huge to get a commit out of BG!

[HogNDas]

Way to go CMS!...another good get!!!!  Now we're talking!!!!  WPS!!!  WELCOME Maleeeeeek!

He'll feel the SEC bump and be 3* across the board....

[BigSexyHog]

Welcome to Hog Heaven

[Vantage 8 dude]

Way to go CMS!...another good get!!!!  Now we're talking!!!!  WPS!!!  WELCOME Maleeeeeek!

Glad to see the commit. BTW according to your reasoning this offer, given that it's an SEC school, should mean an automatic bump of at least a star in ranking. Still waiting..................

[PorkRinds]

He will likely get that bump pretty soon...

He just committed for crying out loud!...  they ain't working on my or YOUR timetable.... patience grasshopper!

Most informative post in the thread.  Kids got game and he's playing against great competition.  Welcome to the hill mr Barkley.  Speed speed and more speed.

[Cure]

Game is similar to Christian Kirk's, definite gamer.

[SemperHawg]

To give you guys and idea of where he plays his High School ball, here is the Rivals list of football players that came out of Bishop Gorman last year.

[Paul]

he reminds me of Hatcher because of his size & toughness  but he looks faster & quicker.   

[Vantage 8 dude]

The totally obvious sarcasm went directly over your head. Then again, how come I'm NOT surprised     However it does appear the services are really slow here since according to you a SEC offer AUTOMATICALLY and INSTANTLY means at least one, if not more, bumps in ratings.  Again, tongue-in-cheek remarks all the way.

Yep, ain't it so.........

[yraciv]

I do like the fact his former high school coach offered, so that tells you something about the potential he has. Good HS to get our foot in the door.

[yraciv]

Now if he could just get in his QB's ear and convince him to come to a real SEC school.

[HogBreath]

That's it...he reminded me of someone, couldn't figure out who...I think you are right.

[Steef]

I'm excited about anyone that we take this early.

Welcome aboard, Maleek.

[Arthur pigby sellers.]

That film looks impressive.  Kids fast, shifty makes tough catches and blocks well.  Excited about this recruit.

[greenEGnHAWGS]

...kid shoots out of the pack like a fetus after a Doritos...

Ha ha...this is all I was able to get out of that post, Seebs!

Excited to get him! Never have too many playmakers! #WPS

[SemperFi]

Looks and sounds like a great pickup for the Hogs and for Razorback Nation. Young man looks to have speed to burn and looked very comfortable catching and running with the ball. Got to love all that natural ability. WPS!

Wait.  What?

[presidenthog]

I see a little drew Morgan in the kid. not super tall at 5'11 but has some speed and a little wiggle.

[factchecker]

...kid shoots out of the pack like a fetus after a Doritos...

Wait.  What?

[cardinalandwhite]

I love seeing how often you see him and think "He's down," then next thing you know he's in the end zone. Just has a knack for making a play.

[toshortrock]

just hope he holds together

[OS2 (SW) Razor Back]

If our coaching staff likes him, then I love him.

[Tyro3]

just hope he holds together

So do you know something we don't? is he injury prone? not sure why you would say this.
