Class of 2014 RB Erv Phillips (CT)

Not enough drama. Next time have chicken, steak and fish on the counter, then reach for one.

Reach for one, pick it up, set it back down, then pick up the one you really want.

Even better...pull the steak out of the chicken.

How about, set the one down, then turn around and take off your hat to reveal a meatloaf or something stuck to the back of your head.

I should have gone with the Turducken.

Kind of depends on what kind of fish and meat? Personally Sashimi salmon with a supply of ginger is my choice. Filet mignon would be a difficult put back but salmon first and more for dessert.

West Haven @ Greenwich Thursday the 12th. Might try and make it.

And then really blow people's minds by pulling shrimp out of the steak.

CL, thanks for keeping us updated.

We should know pretty soon.

if he had a conditional offer and picks Cuse does that mean Ish is out?

I don't think his offer was conditional. I am guessing they have told him he has to commit now or they will move on to guys like Boyd, with Ish still being first priority. They can take 2 RBs with Gulley leaving and Smith potentially leaving. If he picks Temple, I guess we know that it was conditional, or he just loves that program.. Nah.

I was thinking of CIL's post.

His offer is conditional on Ish Witter's decision.

For those interested in recruiting ratings, ESPN has him as a high 3 star, Rvls and Skout have not rated him yet.

He might not stay at RB - especially if he has his way.

Philips admits he'd much rather run around - or by - a defender.

"My running style is shifty," he said. "I'm not really an in between-the-tackles runner. I'm more of a make-you-miss, get-you-in-open-space runner. That's always been my style.

"I don't weigh that much (178 pounds), so that hard running game, that ground-and-pound game, has never been my style. I like to make people miss. That's what I enjoy."

Philips is also versatile. He ran 124 times for 1,057 yards last season, caught 12 passes for 336 yards, and threw for 168 yards and three touchdowns. He scored 23 TDs.

"He'll make you miss in the open field," Marinan said. "You have to contain him and really make him earn his yardage. Give him a crease, he's going to take it, and you're going to be seeing his butt running away."

Ed McCarthy, who has coached 42 seasons at both West Haven and St. Joseph of Trumbull, said Philips is the best running back he's ever had.

"I really don't like comparing players," McCarthy said, "but I always go back to how versatile (Philips) is. He can run the ball. He loves to run the ball from tackle to tackle, but he does his best work, and makes his home runs, on the perimeter. He's a threat to catch the ball, too. He's not solely a running back."

Syracuse and Temple have given Philips offers, while Old Dominion, UConn, Utah and Villanova have shown interest. At 5-foot-11, he could wind up being a slot receiver, which he prefers to being a running back.

"It's easier to get in space," Philips said. "If I can get in space, then I feel like I can be really effective."

Happy to see him commit. I really want Witter too. I hope Erv is the playmaker he claims to be because that is a weak spot right now (as everyone knows). I also love that he hashtagged Orangemen

 

[anomander]

Sounds like he was recruited as an Ashton type of slot receiver as implied above

ESPN has a great write-up in their scouting report, say he is shifty, and has top end speed, can take it to the house from 50 yards out.
