What it says on the tin. His St Louis team is playing St. Thomas Acquinas. Currently in the 2nd quarter.

10.4 (legit, laser-timed) as a high schooler is truly elite, like state record level elite, and 10.2 as a high schooler is "might leave football to be in the Olympics" level fast.  His 10.6 time is already Denard-level speed, I highly doubt he gets to 10.4 (especially 10.2).

 Barry was the fastest/quickest, I have ever seen in person.

At a youth football camp circa ‘92 in Menlo Park, CA, Barry just happened to be training on an adjacent field with some NFL guys; Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, Eric Metcalf, Glyn Milburn, Tommy Vardell...a few others. Just t-shirts, shorts, and cleats, and I have never in my life seen someone move like that since. Even compared to the players he was training with...unreal.

Didn't watch the whole game but he seems to be the best athlete on the field, with about 12 or so guys going to D1 programs on scholarship next year.  Suffered from a bad QB and going up against a better team.  Excited for him.

6.5.0

Huh? Are you just basing this on yards alone? Oklahoma was better last year and the year before. LSU was better this year. They threw almost 2 - 300 more times than the next closest team, but the they also were a 500 team and threw 16 ints. That's not impressive.

Since 2012 Washington St has had the best passing game overall in college. If Joe Brady keeps up what he's doing at LSU for a few more years, they will be the new best passing game overall in college. But yes, this year, LSU's passing game has been unstoppable. The only way LSU stops scoring is the game comes to an end.

As far as wins and losses for Washington St, the passing game does not play on defense. The defense is probably to blame for the numerous losses.

I would take Mike Leach in less than a second to run the passing game at Michigan.

Wouldn't you?

If your QB throws 16 ints, you can't see how that can hurt a defense? But your claim just isn't true. Last year OSU with Haskins had a better passing offense. Wash St threw for 4779, and OSU threw for 4831, with more yds per att, more TD's. OU also had more yds per att and more TD's. In 2017 Colorado St, Penn St, Louisville, USC, OK St, and OU were better. That doesn't include non power 5 schools. They throw the ball more than anyone, but they are not very efficient.

Thought he looked really good.  Fast, great hands, confident.  Hurdled a guy.  He was limited by the QB though, who either had pressure or was inaccurate often. 

He's not huge though.  Aa others have said.  He looks like a Ronnie Bell type.  Will be a smaller set of receivers at Michigan in a couple years, probably faster though.  Interesting because o thought Gattis was a guy who did like different types of receivers, but right now he has what looks like an abundance of slots in the last two classes.
