'17 TN LB Jacob Phillips

Horrible reasoning. Just horrible.

Jones an co. are some of the best as I've said repeatedly.

You don't think we offered Jennings with the notion we would me him wr or s if QB.

You must be new to football.

I think the two situations are different. I believe Jennings knew in back of his mind he would move at some point but just wanted a shot. Otherwise he doesn't move position so easily. Also we were basically only one outside of maybe Auburn that was willing to give him a shot. We did for a spring and he saw he needed to move.

Phillips has several big schools like OK, LSU, Bama that say he can be a Lb in their system. If phillips didn't have so many options offering him he spot he wants then maybe you can get away with a move like you suggest. Otherwise you risk a really mad In state transfer because he had options to play his position esewhere

Besides your different formats of posting, and your slightly better spelling,


You and De1 are basically the same. De1 is finkle, finkle is De1. Little Vol is a man!!!


Really though, why y'all so cocky on a message board?

Yes, forum name should be changed from "Recruiting" to "Repeated arguments between the same posters under the guise of recruiting"

From the few articles ive read on Phillips, he really likes OU alot. I dont know how much truth is in this, but I heard he grew up a OU fan.

He loves OU and Bama but those schools are going all out for him. Yes OU has bn a favorite to him but seriously he was elated with UT at 1st when offered and then they slow played him i think he said it and moved on. Kid has become 10x the player he was when they offered 3 yrs ago. Like some have mentioned big MLB or not Jacob can go sideline to sideline and is a tackling machine. He has work to do in pass covg but overall he's a ready to go MLB right now.

If Tenn made him a priority now would he listen?

A De1 scouting report doesn't carry much weight

If we would only accept his conditions. :cray:

That's what it's going to start coming down to on committing recruits. We have to accept their conditions or schools will be out of the mix. hmy: :wink:

I've been informed that Rivals100 linebacker Jacob Phillips is set to visit for this weekend's game against Florida and is likely to stay the night. He was invited to visit by linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen.

Phillips has already taken official visits to Oregon, Oklahoma and Notre Dame is set to visit Alabama next week. He will take his fifth and final official visit to Texas A&M in October before announcing his decision.

Right now, Oklahoma is the leader, with Oregon in second and Alabama serving as a wildcard because of their loaded depth chart.

Interesting, long shot but I'd like for us to get back in the fold here. Looks like a hell of a mike linebacker.

 

[sanddune50]

Don't understand why the staff pushed this kid away with his talent and our need at the linebacker position. Hope we can make a strong surge here.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Didn't someone say an instate guy would surprise us before NSD.

Would love to see some senior film on this kid. I can see where the staff might see a DE in college. Looks like his lateral quickness might be in question. Would love to hear from De1 to see if that has improved.

Don't get me wrong I like the kids ability and feel he is a Power 5 player but he will need to improve speed for sure.
