New Crystal Ball for Jordan Phillips....a DT!!!
You read that right. We have a crystal ball in for a DT and guess what, he can play DT.

Jordan Phillips - 6-3 290lbs 3 star out of Florida.
Yeah but can he... oh, ok then, he can. Tally-ho!
But can he play CB, that's the real question....
Can you imagine how terrifying a 290# safety with 4.4/4.5 speed would be for anyone running a crossing route?
Depends if they are running it against a Down Brown defense or not
#BaDumTssss
Or perhaps against an Up Brown defense.
Great Potential News! Lots of DL/DT option coming on campus in June. As for numbers for DT etc. I did see an opinion this week that our current DT commit - Davonte Miles - may actually be an better prospect on the OL if he would choose to follow that route.
FWIW - EJ Holland from Rivals also Future Cast the primary QB option for M yesterday - Nate Johnson - 3-star Denard-esque Dual threat QB from Fresno, CA area.
I've never been so excited for a three star in all my career. . .
Just asked a teacher I know that works at the school and she described him as a super polite and hardworking kid.
Good outlook at him making it on campus when he gets here.
Asking a teacher is the new Counter Strike
Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.
Well, with your bad knee, Ed, you shouldn’t throw anybody.
You make me make a phony phone call to Edward ROONEY?!
Sam Webb said he, along with Myles Pollard, are both legitimately underrated
Sam Webb with a positive outlook on three stars? The comfort of predictable is glorious.
That's great news. But can he play CB?
Edit: looks like matt1114 posted the same question at the same time I did. Inquiring minds want to know.
We do want to know.
Which is weird because he was the OP.
Is he also Einhorn?
but can he play DT?
sorry force of habit
Do. Want. The DTs. That play DT.
The Michigan 247 guys have been gushing about him for couple weeks now (he was completely unranked before the 247 update this week). Basically a kid who hasn’t gone to any camps and does wrestling in the off-season which is why he hasn’t blown up. But his highlights show someone who plays angry, is consistently breaking double teams and getting in the backfield, and has a great burst and a high ceiling.
He is also making an unofficial visit to Michigan over May 1-2
I want a defensive line consisting entirely of heavyweight wrestlers and Samoans.
Correct. Sam Webb has said over and over on his podcast that the rankings have not caught up to Jordan Phillips film. He was basically predicting that Phillips would be bumped up to a 4* once the services are able to actually review his film.
Make no mistake, this would be a great get.
Yeah and with covid most of these kids aren’t ranked correctly yet and there will be some major shifts in the rankings as more camps and things happen
Give me a DL of heavyweight wrestlers and I'll be a happy guy. That is a group of dudes with great body control who know how to use leverage to their advantage.
Who in their right mind would wrestle this guy???
Well tickle my perineum and call me Sally! How about that!
Can we just lock him up now in the basement of Schembechler Hall?
Honest question: How many DTs will we be running in our new system? Is the DT position as big a need for us with so many amorphous guys floating around in the box?
Sounds like a great player. Hope we can reel him in.
From my preliminary understanding, it seems like we’ll have 2 DTs and 2 standing DEs
Depends on how multiple we end up being and which variation of a 3-4 we end up using.
Some variations of the 3-4 defense use a SDE, a Nose, a DT and replace the other DE with a standup rush linebacker to go along with the three traditional linebackers. You go nickel, you’ll often see two DT types as down linemen, two standup guys on the edges and two middle linebackers to go with 5 DBs. There’s a lot of ways you can tweak a 3-4 based on personnel and situation.
If we add being multiple to that mix, there’s still a definite need for defensive tackles
I can't believe he's still just a three star.
I can't believe its not butter
I can't believe I ate the whole thing.
That’s what she said
So excited!
That is one of the best damn gifs I've seen in awhile.
Whoa, a little too much sugar I'd say.
I swear she lets loose with "Fuck!" at the very end.
Was going to say the same thing. Definitely saw the makings of an F bomb

But how's his pad level?
Is wrestler.
Correct response.
I'm guessing he's a lot like someone else.... but faster, and stronger
His neck is thicker than my thigh. Football players are another branch of homo sapiens. Or maybe I am.
Skeletons may qualify as a different species
