PULLMAN – Ernie Kent says that he will not put undue pressure on Malachi Flynn, who signed a letter of intent with Washington State on Wednesday, the first day of the NCAA’s spring signing period. But Kent also made it clear he has high expectations for the prolific scorer.
“I equate him to (Luke) Ridnour, (Aaron) Brooks and Tajuan Porter,” Kent said during a signing day press conference. “All of them, when they came in the door had their moments as freshmen.”
Flynn averaged 29.7 points per game as a senior at Tacoma’s Bellarmine Prep, shooting 48 percent from the field and 88 percent from the free throw line.
