'15 TN DE Kyle Phillips (UT commit 1/3/15)

Well, this news is rather, "YES!!!"

drew, Kyle, and ugo in to see Tennessee destroy a team. Well, there is no way this can be bad

Unless we don't destroy a team.

But otherwise, yes, I'd agree, it's a good thing. And Richmond is on campus too....so that could be a good thing/bad thing, especially if Richmond recruits them to OM.

Not to be a sunshine pumper, but there is literally a .009% chance that we don't absolutely blow these guys out. ECU on UNC style blowout is the most probable outcome.
 
Exactly what Butch likes to recruit. Dual role players.

Good point. Robertson was a DL originally, Charles Mosley will be a either way player....

Plus, from a players perspective, it gets them on the field even quicker if they can play multiple positions.

Had no idea he even had potential of playing tackle.
 
What has really peaked my interest is his ability to play the offensive tackle position.

Definitely agree.

Truthfully I think he's a project on either side of the ball (moreso than his ranking might indicate) but I think he has some very nice potential at OT. That combination of size and speed is uncommon. If you want a guy who can get out and block on those screens that Butch loves to run, then you get this guy and let him develop at OT.
 
Don't you do this to me.. don't you give me false hope

Phillips recruitment reminds me of Barnett's last year. All the UT defeatists and pessimists convinced everyone else Barnett wasn't coming here by twisting every shred of information when the fact was we lead the whole way through his recruitment he was UT bound from the get go.

Remember? First he was a OSU lock if they offered. Then he was a major Vandy lean because the defensive line coach gave him a dog bone. Even after he committed he was for sure going to flip to Missouri if he visted there. Then the 247 mod, Chris Smith, said he was flipping to Vandy because he followed derek mason on twitter.

Don't let them get to you. We are in good shape here. You have to see through the BS

Good post...and very true. :hi:
 
That is interesting about OT and nice that he is a team player. We prob would start him off on defense first though. I think I saw one of his coaches mention on twitter that he would be a beast at OT earlier this year
 
That's not pee....

My jimmies....they've been rustled.

This would be incredible. Especially if Amadi followed suit.

I mean, think about it. Just thinking about those adds...and what we would have on the field next year: (Not claiming depth chart, just thinking out loud)

DE- Barnett / Taylor / Butcher / Mixon / Vickers/ Dylan Jackson
DT - Tuttle / O'Brien / Picou / Owen Williams
DT - McKenzie / Sawyers / Saulsberry
DE - Phillips / Vereen / Hendrix / Henderson / Latroy Lewis / Marques Ford
LB - Bates / Bryant / Jakob Johnson / Bynum / Jumper /
LB - JRM / Cherry / McDowell / Justin King / Maggitt
LB - Weatherd / Austin Smith / Elliott Berry
DB - Moseley, Abernathy, Gaulden,
DB - Berry, Amadi, Swafford, Lemond Johnson,
DB - Payne , Griffin, Payne, Foreman, McNeil
DB - Sutton, Randolph, Kelly Jr., Mike Williams, Orta

THAT is more of what it takes to play in the SEC. Wow.

Ah, and just for the heck of it...

QB - Dobbs / Peterman / Dormady / Jennings
RB - Hurd / Kamara / Reid / Scott / Pickett
WR - North / Pearson / Croom / J. Smith / John. Johnson
WR - Williams / Malone / Bruce / Pig / Wharton
TE - Helm / Wolf / Branisel / Oliver
OL - Blair, Sanders, Thomas, Chance Hall
OL - Kerbyson, Kendrick, Raulerson, Boulware
OL - Crowder, Lovingood, Zach Stewart,
OL - Thomas, Jack Jones, Charles Mosley,
OL - Marcus Jackson, Jashon Robertson

K - Medley
P - Townsend

You must admit....at least on paper, it is DEFINITELY looking better around here.
