thisbuff..... never post that again. Now that said, Welcome to the Buffs Frank!!!
I think Fillip is one of the most underrated guys in this class because he doesn't promote himself and doesn't play for one of the Texas powerhouses that would promote him. New article on Rivals today that didn't really reveal anything about him other than confirm that he's not into the attention or having long conversations. Similar to how Nate Landman was as a recruit.
But seriously, I think he's pretty solid here. Seems like he just wants to play ball and shut down his recruitment after finding his home.
As much as we justifiably bust on them the Baylor offer is significant. They are close enough to see him a lot and to get the background on him. Generally speaking the Baylor offer means the kid is a quality prospect.
Glad to have him coming to Boulder.

Definitely a good looking prospect to compete for playing time in 2019, IMO
They've got to be a lot more athletic these days. Got to be bigger than the 275-290 lb DE types to beat them up and wear them down, but also need to be nimble enough to get your hands on them. It's a rare athlete who has that.
For perspective, this is what a 290 lb man you're trying to block looks like at the elite level:

Sad to see his body has broken down. All those double teams, cut blocks, etc.
Here's one more relevant to 2017: Calais Campbell at 300 lbs. (and the same guy who blocks him has to try to match up with the Von Miller speed demon types in the 255-270 range):
