"All the recruiting stuff has been crazy," Phillips said. "I had 102 letters in the first two days. Vanderbilt sent like 32 letters, Ohio State sent me 28. I can't even open it all."
Last weekend he even took in his first SEC game when he visited Georgia to see the Bulldogs take on South Carolina. "It was really good. I was glad I got to experience it," Phillips said.
"I talk with Tennessee's coaches on twitter. I still like Tennessee," Phillips said. "The facilities are really nice and you can really see an improvement with their team this year with recruiting and with the way they're trying to turn the program around from what it's been."
Phillips also visited Ohio State during the summer and liked that visit as well. "It was good. I went during the camp but didn't camp and just went for a visit. It was good. It's not too far away from home," Phillips said.
