DE Harrison Phillips [Stanford - Signed LOI]

His senior year will be very important. He really isn't at a position of need at DE either.

Being that we stocked-up at DE last year getting an offer this year becomes tougher.

For God's sake. Just offer him or don't already. This is ridiculous. He is either good enough or not.
Thing is with DE recently stocked his best chance may be for center or 3-technique, positions we have not only not seen him at but we're not sure if he can put on the necessary quality size. Coaches not only need to do considerable first-hand evaluation but the S&C staff too.
The staff knows what the kid can do by now.

Not necessarily

 
Out of Harrison's own words... the coaches want Dobson to look at him to see how much good weight he thinks he can gain. Then the coaches want to evaluate him at the center position with live work to see how well he fares there. I don't think we're looking at him at DE at this point, not to say we might let him try there later on if some of the guys we are on fall through.

 
He seems worried that the coaches aren't sure where he fits for sure and that may be why they haven't offered yet.

He won the NHSCA National High School Wrestling Championship in Virginia Beach in April - Farmer finished third but they didn't wrestle each other.

 
I am sure the Stanford offer is something he and his family are considering as the educational value has merits. It’s my understanding that he is real close with his Mom and I heard that his father may have been laid off recently (poor timing for family). I am sure as a family; they are trying to do something that fits everyone (family watching games and financial stability). I am still in the mindset that he is ours to lose but depending on other circumstances, the educational issue may come into play here.

+1 For wrestling. Love it.

 
We need Phillips and Newell both in this class. And enough talk about Phillips moving to offensive line from this staff. The kid belongs at DE.

 
I don't think Phillips ends up with an offer.
@horribleharry99: I JUST GOT OFFERED BY NEBRASKA! #GBR
My educated guess is it went down this way:
+1 to you sir!!

Unless you actually listen to phone calls, you shouldn't judge whether a recruit has been offered or not.


Sometimes a single faceplam just doesn't suffice.....
