High-scoring guard Malachi Flynn commits to WSU

For the second consecutive year, the Washington 4A Player of the Year has committed to the Cougars.

I’m truly blessed to announce that I have committed to Washington State University. I want to thank all of the schools that recruited me!🐾🐾

Last year, Washington State coach Ernie Kent signed 4A POY Viont’e Daniels and in 2016. In 2016, another highly-decorated kid out of Tacoma has decided to head east for college.

Flynn, whose coach compares him to Steph Curry , averaged 29.7 points per game last season for Bellarmine Prep. He shot 48 percent from the field, and 88 percent from the free throw line.

Flynn is a senior, so he’ll join Milan Acquaah and Jeff Pollard in the class of 2016, taking a scholarship made available when Ny Redding and Renard Suggs left the program.
