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

[bignewt]

If coach o goes to LSU we may be screwed for many a recruit, that dude scares me.

So, who are the equally or more talented players that want to be Vols? Phillips, according to some, is the best player in Tennessee this year.

 

[volinexile17]

Phillips would be a huge get. Taylor and Ford are both weak side rush ends. I like Butcher, but he doesn't have ideal size. Phillips is a prototypical SDE just like Barnett. He'd be the best DE in our class from a talent standpoint IMO.

 

[chavisut]

I like him a lot. He would be icing on the cake that's already baked at DE. Ford, Butcher, and Taylor are all very good prospects.

Won't have to reminisce about having a nasty defense much longer.

Cortez moved to LB. We'll probably still see Randolph at that safety spot. Or maybe a Berry?!

 

[LorettoVol]

If he's a VOL, that's great. If not, good luck to him. Either way, our defense is gonna be nasty in the next few years.

isn't McDowell going to be a LB? he's pretty much been this class' JRM,excelling on ST his freshman year and getting experience,and ready to come out with a vengeance his Sophomore year...

 

[OrangeDog]

I can just picture Les sitting there thinking, "Shiz! I just got hosed!"

He got hosed for the first time ever with the TD call against ND.

He's usually very lucky.

I'd like to see berry in the mix, but I think randolf will make a very consistent safety that will stop a lot of plays

 

[volroadwarrior]

Bryant could be mlb too!

Gavin Bryant has the potential to be as good as we got to replace AJ. It could take a year for him and Kirkland to get up to speed, but they will be good.

Their gonna need him.

 

[smokey0625]

Hope he's a Vol because we need to replace Hendrix. But honestly, I'd get much more enjoyment in him choosing the Vols and breaking up the package deal Ugo has been promising for weeks. I'd laugh.

We do need to replace those two tackles. Thinking h3ndrix was important is ridiculous. He's a little used transfer with potentiAl but that didn't mean crap.

 

[UT_Dutchman]

I wonder if Phillips's mom has or had a problem with UT because of her job as the Athletic Director at Tenn State? Also she is a Vandy grad, so maybe didn't like Vandy being UT's punching bag. I still have moved my CB to UT with Chavis leaving and Les Miles bolting soon. Go Vols / Beat Iowa!

I imagine the Vandy connection probably is where the friction is. She probably doesn't want her son to play for the team that is consistently crushing her alma mater.

Wish we got walker

 

[Dooby15]

Their gonna need him.

Ford looks good, great actually. OL at the UA practice are having trouble containing him and just because he's not rated highly like Phillips doesn't mean anything.

I honestly don't want to bash the kid but he's not the kind of kid you want on your team. Disrespectful to coaches, teammates, and a consistent whiner on the field. That being said, that could all change under Butch Jones.

I just don't want people getting upset if we lose him to someone else. We've got some great athletes on the DL and we'll be fine without him

It's only a matter of time and a Berry will be starting.

Is Phillips an EE?
