Da'Vante Phillips updates recruitment

didnt he say he is going where dalvin cook goes?

Chad Thomas said the same thing in regards to Matthew Thomas two years ago. We saw how that turned out. I dont think Chad even gave FSU a serious look. So it goes both ways.

I was hoping Pete would ask about the "off the field" rumors that have been going around. I know that is personal but he could have worded it in a way that didnt come across disrespectful. If that is going to play a part in his decision, I def would like to know. Because then I would urge the young man to leave town and wish him luck if the rumors are true.

All speculation at this point. No knows where Philips will end up including himself.
 
Dorsett and Scott are gone after this year. Coley may likely leave after next. Probably going to take 3 WRs (maybe an athlete) in this class and we have Spence already.

Ridley
Spence
Peete
SBB can play WR, too

Ridley- potential grade problems
Spence- average
Peete- raw
SBB- better safety

Why would you say "Spence - average"? His tape looks pretty good to me. Does the "FG" in your alias stand for Florida Gator?

Guess I struck a nerve by saying that a 3* and 90th best wr is just average. Also only runs a 4.75 40 yard dash.

We've been an average team lately because our roster is dominated by 3* players....and no, Al hasn't proven that he can corch them up, slurper.

Yeah that 3* Allen Hurns didn't turn out so well....

Get off the stars....the kid will get more best season
 
I'm still sticking with Phillips to UM if we have a good season, Golden has to be smart on the WR scholarships now. Spence was a surprise commit that I did not expect. I really think we can pull all the fire teammates in durante, ridley, and phillips. Phillips is surrounded by all guys who love the U, Golden should sell all three on playing together.

I appreciate stars, but our most productive WRs the last 5 years:

2013: Allen Hurns (3*)
2012: Phillip Dorsett (3*)
2011: Tommy Streeter (4*)
2010: Leonard Hankerson (3*)
2009: Leonard Hankerson (3*)

We do just fine at receiver with 3* prospects
 
Easy to say that, but can we look at our records during those years and the success that those guys have had on the next level too? All important to consider.
 
Travis Rudolph was virtually a nobody when golden offered him and he commited. After the season buddy was a top 5 WR in the country. Sorry but i think ill trust Al when it comes to evals . Plus I heard Spence was the goods. Just going unnoticed.
 
Whenever I hear "it's a business decision" jargon I already at that point this recruit will not be a Hurricane.

Sorry for being late on this but what are the off the field rumors about? Whats up with the kid?
 
I ain't a bit concerned about whether or not we ink Phillips. There are plenty better receivers available. All I care about is Defensive Linemen! We'll always have skill players and if we smash on defense the offense will follow. We just have to start winning some that FSU and others are getting those really good kids we didn't have room for.
 
Miami will get the best WR in the country in a Calvin Ridely, why y'all worried about Da’Vante Phillips? And Miami is a dark horse for him an anyways, because he plays on the same 7v7 team as Ridely & Shawn Burgess-Becker. Dalvin Cook just didn't want to come to miami especially after Yearby committed. And I see Shawn Burgess Becker playing WR at Miami, the safety position will be kinda crowded with JaQuan Johnson, kiy Hester, gayot, Jamal carter, & Tim Irving.

Stop it, kids a Nole all the way. We will be just fine with Ridley, Spence, Peete and SBB (I think he will play WR here as well). I could see us taking a 4th or 5th WR too but I'll gladly take that group.
 
Isn't this the kid who can't stay in Miami because he is a target of gang violence? Or is that someone else?

Wouldnt surprise me if they move gayot to LB
 
Exactly the type of kid that we have watched walk away the last couple of years.

Not saying we don't land this type of talent, but just his whole recruitment.....these guys just havent ended up here lately.

I have zero faith here unfortunately.
