Phillips off to Ohio State: Glades Central running back/safety Randy Phillips, who was a finalist for the local Groza player of the year award, said he will visit Ohio State this weekend. Phillips, who made an oral commitment to Miami in July, visited N.C. State last weekend and plans to visit Florida State, Miami and South Florida in January.

Phillips says he is still committed to Miami but got his "eyes opened". Coach Snyder and tOSU have been recruiting Randy for over a year.

tOSU's success putting DB's in the pro's and their ability to recruit players from his area has increased his interest in the Buckeyes.

Did they do talk to him b4 his visit or while he was one his visit.

RP's talents more of a safety or a shut down corner?

 

[crazybuckfan40]

They are recruiting him as a safety I believe.

 

[tsteele316]

he'll hang out with santonio and dukes, talk about how nice it would be to play with them here and how great the coaches were stadium etc... but he is going to take all his visits to make sure. then he'll commit to miami.


unless of course he waitstoo long and miami gets commits from kenneth phillips and some other big name guys in the meantime.

"I will not officially visit Ohio State because they're dealing with a lot of things right now--namely, that whole Maurice Clarrett situation.

Could this be the reason as DaJuan Morgan was the guy that we pulled an offere from last year.

Phillips is just now using "that whole Clarett thing" as an excuse? Fine then...
