Yep, this kid is a guaranteed All-American. I mean, he's an instate kid with some talent, so that has to be true. No reason to even let the coaches take a look at him. And the coaches should have already made NU more academically prestigious than lowly Stanford. That's just bad coaching and recruiting right there.
Have you seen our defensive line lately? We need all the talent we can get, regardless if phillips doesn't pan out the way you want him to
Is NU even recruiting him for DL? My sarcasm is directed at your assertion that the coaches screwed up. Kid could just like Stanford more. Or want to leave the state. Or a host of other reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the coaches. And that's even assuming he's going to become a good player in college.
Could also "break the hearts" of Stanford coaches who put a lot of effort into recruiting a player half way across the country and offered before the home state school. I say coin flip.
This. If he did he would have gotten offered sooner. Just the facts. He fits Stanford's defense better, that's why he probably picks them, and I say good luck.
"Fit" on a defensive line is overrated, and certainly nothing that a gifted player couldn't overcome....
In college it's not as big of a deal your right, but it's obvious he's a tweeter in our system, as they were seeing where he would fit trying him at 3 different positions. That probably hurt him the most as far as us offering goes. I can see him coming here and getting moved 2 or 3 times, never settling on a position until late in his career. Newell is more important to this class, and the dline. We have some pretty good young d ends.
