Increasingly, we're seeing a lot of talent coming out of Denver South.

Denver South also has Zach Lindsay (Phillip's younger brother). Could be a name to keep an eye on
 
11.73 100, hope he just had a bad day.

One of the guys on the Rivals board said that Shun was dealing with hamstring issues in the spring. If that's the case, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I know our coaches have scouted Denver South a lot.
 
11.73 100, hope he just had a bad day.

But that's a PR (personal record). Since it's a PR on milesplit, that means that he's never run an automatic timed, non-wind aided race any faster than that. Hopefully that's due to not having run much (but then it makes you wonder about injuries or level of commitment).
 
If his hamstrings are messed up, maybe that has to do with his PR. I do know that is a woman's time in the 100, albeit very fast women.
 
As a former high school sprinter, I'll tell you this: if you have hamstring issues, you're not running the 100, 200 or doing the long jump, or triple without completely ****ing up your hamstring(s).

I might buy the Rivals poster comment if he sat out the entire track season and ran 1-2 races at the end of the season. Otherwise, I'm throwing up the BS flag on that comment.
 
Looks like a kid who has good height, decent weight for his age with the frame to add more, is aggressive and has some skills.

All these together with no reported offers leads me to believe that the times reported are pretty accurate, otherwise with all he has he would be getting a lot more attention and offers would be coming.

The question is either can he play at the speed he has or is there something that he can do (it might be getting healthy) that gives him the speed to compete. In the PAC guys who don't have the speed to compete become huge liabilities.

I agree.

Speed can be improved, but those are track times that JV freshman often run at competitive schools. I root for local kids, and I'm hope he puts together a great season and gets a shot somewhere and is able to overcome the possible raw speed issue.
 
Per his Twitter, CU checking him out during Denver South/Montbello this week and CSU will be represented at South/Broomfield next week.
