fwiw he didn’t rpo at Houston. He didn’t have spring ball and rpo here. He needs to be better at it to be attractive as an nfl quarterback. Another year would serve him well. I think he’s staying from everything I’m hearing inside. Phillips gone.

If Phillips finishes strong, he might have played himself into a day 1 pick. If Miami gets two DE's going in the first, it has to be great for recruiting. For a guy like Phillips who already had a bad knee injury, I can't blame him for not wanting to take any chances and leaving when his stock is high.

Where did you read that Phillips had a knee injury? It’s been a wrist, ankle and concussions. Please post it.
 
Number of games started in college is one of the most predictive metrics for QB success in the NFL. Another year as a starter would absolutely improve Kings NFL stock.

I am not predicting he is going to stay, but there is a clear upside to him getting another year of experience.

this makes the most sense. Phillips has played himself into a day 2 pick. Good for him.

My mistake I thought his injuries included a knee. It doesn't change the main point, he's had a lot of bad injuries, to the point he actually medically retired from football.

UCLA linebacker Phillips retires following injuries

UCLA linebacker Jaelan Phillips has medically retired after two injury-plagued collegiate seasons, a Bruins spokesperson told ESPN.

Cant blame a guy who has had season ending injuries (possibly career ending since he medically retired at one point), to want to take his shot at the NFL while he is healthy and generating a lot of buzz. He's an athletic freak so he'll test off the charts at the combine. He just has to hope that NFL teams are willing to look past the injury history.

Confused by this...are you saying he didn't execute RPOs at Houston? If so then that's a blatant lie as I saw plenty on the film I watched, and his patience and timing on them was impeccable.

The keys for King's NFL projection are his pocket management/poise and pre-snap processing. He's made strides in those areas. I know Matt Waldman has been a huge fan of his game since 2018 and believes he's a legit NFL prospect. I know Quincy Avery has been working with King and can assume he would advise him to declare if he has a strong draftable grade, same as Newman, Lance and eventually Fields have/will. If they don't like their intel King can return with the belief that he'll continue improving and get the opportunity he deserves.

Lashlee said King didn't do a lot of READ-OPTION before, which for the zillionth time is different from RPO.

Really really really hoping the King staying stuff is true. Would certainly be a game changer for us for next season.

If staying one more year is the difference between being a seventh round special being looked at as a gadget plays RB/WR and being a day 1 pick, I think it's the smart business move. King would almost certainly have top 3 odds to win the Heisman. If he does win it, he would answer a whole lot of questions about his QB skills and would be a top draft pick. So from 7th round to 1st- that's about 15 million reasons to come back.

Wasn't he a top 3 Heisman candidate before this season too? If that's the case, then being top 3 next year again isn't gonna help his draft status.
