DE Harrison Phillips [Stanford - Signed LOI]

So Kansas State, Stanford and now UCLA? Fit or not, going to really suck having someone the talent of Phillips go out of state if we don't offer in the end.

I wonder if Phillips would ever consider a greyshirt. I personally think we need to make room for him. Lives and Breathes Red, Nebraska kid. As good of a motor as you are going to see. Versatile lineman. He needs to be a Husker, but if they no way, no how can make room for him this year then you have to believe they would extend a greyshirt offer. Just don't know if Phillips would consider it with an offer like Stanford out there.

I had been hoping for a greyshirt offer to play center, think he'd be good there given some time to put size on, but I doubt Phillips would go for that now.

Everyone, but Nebraska, seems to be evaluating Phillips at strong-side DE (that is also the offer from Stanford). This is the Nebraska's tell. I think the talent is there for Phillips, but they picked up Mixon and Natter last year for DE, and are looking at Newell for this year. Heck, even Stoltenberg puts most of his time on the field in Gretna at this position, though Nebraska was also working him out on the offensive line. I would like Phillips, but we will have to see how it turns out with Newell, which hopefully we pick up.

It really sounds like we are going to try to get all those DEs on the field this year if they are ready to play, so I think it would be good to pick up a guy like Phillips who has a huge motor and upside just needs some time to put on the weight. After he redshirts he is going to have 2 yrs seperation from most of those guys. Even if he ends up playing Center I see him having a yr seperation from Farmer (I think he will play as a True Freshman) or 2 from Thurston if he ends up being our guy there. Don't pass on a Nebraska lineman who will bust his a$$ for the team. Plus Phillips seems to have a little of that mean edge we need.

If you are reading this Harrison, I hope you get the offer you are waiting for but if not, Stanford is not a 2nd place finish but a 1st class higher educational institution!

You are in a win – win situation no matter how the ball bounces! Good Luck! :bonesflag:

Totally agree. +1

 
But seriously. Harrison probably will be a tremendous football player, but damn this kid is a beast on the mat.

Personally I like Stoltenberg more. The ceiling potential is just higher. As has been stated his frame allows for so many options. As I have started Steve Warren says he has "it" Has a little Vandenbosh in him, and Steve is a guy that may know a thing our two about things like that. From what I have been told the staff also likes him a hair more than Harrison.

Do I think Harrison could play here, absolutely. With a great showing at camp, and another great season the potential is there. However do I think he could step in and be a starting heavyweight at the division one level maybe more so.

glad to see that Nebraska is atleast keeping tabs.. on him.. i hope they have a game plan and dont d!(k him around too much if they are in fact going to offer... cant afford to lose the in state kids.... with that said i think with our amounts of slots we have this year why not offer the guy and give him a chance and build up some good will

i agree that they have a plan... i just the locals boys get an offer.. would be a shame if a lot of kids out of local high schools feel burned by not getting offers while in their opinion kids from around the country with perhaps in their mind lesser talent (true or untrue?!) get offers.....

They have a plan. They're just being careful. Phillips, Stultenberg, and Cotton will get evaluated thorougly at camp next month. Staff should be able to make an educated decision then.
