It seems to be what a lot of talent evaluators have alluded to. He doesn't play in a big time high school program. I know he has done a lot of work already with big time QB trainers but not a lot of high level on field reps. You are right, I don't know squat, just putting together the general gist of what most people who know at least some stuff have said.
I like Maalik a lot and I really hope he pans out for Texas. I also hope we land Ewers and Manning. I don't think all 3 would play and or stay at Texas throughout.
