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

[Dust10]

Same but the game is in a couple hours.

Just a heads up.

They play in 2 hours. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ole Miss really clamp down on TCU. TCU hasn't played a defense like Ole Miss yet. It's an interesting matchup though.

Maybe he is in Asia with Nick?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Just seems like what TCU likes to do plays right Into the strength of the ole piss defense

 

[wildorange]

I agree with you, it's hard to fathom but, I would rather be going to a DCless LSU than Ole Miss but that's just me.

He's going to be a VOL!!!

 

[govols24]

Thanks for the heads up guys. Just got used to the Peach Bowl being a night game I guess.

You drunk yet?

You drunk yet?

14 hours away for us and I'm working on it

 

[nicksjuzunk]

You drunk yet?

Lol, I don't go that route.

So this chief to a&m thing couldnt have happened at a better time. Hope this locks up martin and phillips, plus maybe pat allen too with the georgia coaching carousel. Coaching consistency may really pay off for us this year.

 

[LSU-SIU]

Lol, I bet he sticks with LSU.

Chavis isn't a big recruiter but he has his mitts on the Tennessee kids, so I am not sure how much that effects things. Should be a interesting couple of weeks in Baton Rouge.

 

[FREAKIN ORANGE]

Wonder if there will be any defensive guys wavering on their commitment, if Chief takes the job. Could we get any surprises?

 

[jspvol76]

Lol, I don't go that route.

Straight dope for nick.

 

[PowerWookie]

How long has ole miss been winning? This peach bowl run is as good as it will get bc they are in the west

Exactly

 

[daniel3417]

Can't blame the kid if he's hesitating. Although I firmly believe our trajectory is on the UP side, we've been a .500 team the last 7 years (since he was 10-11 years old). Kids want success and a sure winner, can't fault that.

The recruiting job for the coaches is future success and being the bedrock for that foundation. Not always an easy sell when your 6-6.

BTW, Vol.

Thing is, this argument doesn't explain Ole Miss, who has only been "good" for three years.

 

[jbr82]

Dooley isn't coach anymore so I'm not gonna worry too much about recruiting. CBJ has shown he is very good @ it and will replace guys if needed. We have 3 solid DE committed anyways. If kyle wants to be a Vol then great, if not, then oh well. Rather have someone with unconditional interest in TN due to the last 7 seasons. Thick and the then.

 

[TriedAndTrueVOL]

I'm not sure. Someone posted that only applies to the first set of papers and it's my understanding that Kirkland sighned those with MI first. Nothing wrong with Kahlil or Kirkland initiating the face time action though regardless.

Other teams who get the FAAs signed can still have unlimited contact but if the player ends up not enrolling at the school then the school is subject to penalties.

If John Chavis is out at #LSU then #LSU is out for 4star #ArmyBowl DE Kyle Phillips. He reacts to Chavis rumors If Chavis is out, so is LSU for Phillips …


.......B...oooooo...muh

 

[Dust10]

Bam!!

 

[delfonic]

Bang?!?

 

[TriedAndTrueVOL]

Bang bang

 

[Face]

With Khalil and DK hanging out with him this week, I really like our chances now.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Kaboom! Come on Chavis, do a solid for your alma mater and go help the Aggies' defense!

 

[Evet Vols]

If Chavis leaves and we get Phillips, Chavis gets VFL bonus points!

Army Bowl Day 2 Standouts

Defense

1. Kyle Phillips, DE – Like Thompson, Phillips was not taking a passive approach to Tuesday's practice. He was there to work and he became one of the day's biggest headaches for offensive linemen. Phillips' speed off the edge at 260 pounds was almost unfair. If he didn't beat the lineman in front of him outright, his motor and speed in pursuit allowed him to get there eventually.

[UT = Checkmate]

Would be so awesome to get Phillips. I hope A&M gives Chavis his money and this thing becomes official tomorrow.
