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

[Tennessee Golfer]

Theoretically yes, but as we both see it's totally like that. Star ratings are borderline useless. We have eyes for a reason folks.

To see all the shiny stars

 

[TheRain]

Interested to know what your take on that is..?

Is Tuttle less of a player now that he's only a 4*.

Do not want now.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Isn't the whole purose of stars to evaluate how soon they think a player can contribute, not how good they can be? If that's the case I think EE should add at least half a star and put us at the #1 class in the nation haha

Those idiots don't know how to evaluate or project guys. Some should be impact evaluations while others should be for guys with enormous potential. Funny thing is they don't know what the hell they are looking for. I questioned the 247 head guy(Simmons right?). Anyways I asked him specifically why he had Marlon Humphrey as a 5 star kid when he needed to redshirt and learn how to play the ball. Also brought up him not being physical in the running game. I asked how was he the No.1 CB at that time. He couldn't explain a thing. They are all mostly clowns outside of the news they get on recruiting.

247 is legit. I know firsthand how hard those guys bust their butts to try to be on point. Of course I only really know JC Shurburtt and i know how hard he works. Their office is in my complex in Brentwood. Nobody is perfect in a subjective and fluid recruiting world. :hi:

 

[bornbleddinorange]

I like Mike Farrell therefore Im a rivals guy

 

[FirstAndGoal]

Phillips and Tuttle should both be five stars on Rivals. :rock:

He's a douche, but at least Simmons played college ball.

It was Shurburtt I think to tell the truth.

 

[UT_Dutchman]

I hope no dudes respond to this.

Yeah I'm with you on that. Didn't think about it like it sounded.

Wow! So, he is a 5 star on 2 sites now. I wonder what Scout and ESPN does with his ranking when they re-rank...ESPN will probably drop him since he committed to the Vols.

[Nationdom]

I knew my boys over at Rivals(GOAT) would get it done.

 

[de1conley]

He's already looking like a bad azz. Opposing QBs are going to hate seeing him.

Needs to pationately hit the weight room but all the other tools are there. Love this kid because as good as he is guys he doesn't even realize it. He was brainwashed to think he was a basketball player until we got him. The future is so bright for him once he has been taught and tweaked by Strip plus real weight training. CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT *Bart Scott voice*

He was impressive in the East/West game. I agree with you on he needs to hit weights. He will be a real beast when he gets in a good S&C program. The 2015 defense is going to be nasty with power and speed.

 

[B-sideVol18]

This is surprising of rivals, because in the past they were too stubborn to move kids up more than a few spots.

Thank You for helping him realize his potential at DE.

21. Kyle Phillips, DE, Nashville (Tenn.) Hillsboro ***Big Mover***
Rating: 98
Previous 247Sports rank: 107
Commitment: Tennessee
One of the real revelations of the Army Bowl, Phillips had some of the longest arms in San Antonio and he was also one of the best edge rushers at 6-3.5, 250 pounds. As an early enrollee at Tennessee, we think you’ll see him early and often in Neyland Stadium next fall.

It's official! Phillips is a 5 star on 247!! :rock:

247Sports reveals new No. 1 and final 2015 five-stars

 

[FLVOL_79]

I turn up my game when I get an extra gold star

 

[bigorange]

@K5_Phillips I'm on campus in the morning who wanna show me around...? #GBO #VFL #UTK19 🍊

[BearCat204]

We will have the best d line of the last decade, at any level of football.

You just make this too easy.............any level of football, really?

Nationdom will have an orgasm now that Rivals is upgrading him to 5 star.
