Simply stated he never played a meaningful down at BC....but as you still weep yourself to sleep over the loss of all that production from Davis, Tuggle and Haden, I understand.

Probably because he left before he got a chance to play a meaningful down. But yeah you're right, he's obviously overrated and a terrible person and a bad fit and that's why he was just an afterthought to the staff. Oh, he was one of their top targets you say? I guess they just have way too many receivers, that must be it. Too much speed and depth at the skill positions, right? All is well. Trust the staff.

I think Tranq and probably expected much more of Phillips and he didn't deliver. And with Swigert and Amidon producing, he probably realized his career at BC was going to suck for the same reason Josh Haden's did.

I'm not saying that anyone has to trust the staff. But (this time last year) if I had to guess two true freshman wide receivers that would have made a real impact on the 2010 team, it wouldn't have been Amidon or Swigert.

You know how many 4-star players never get to see the field in Columbus Ohio, Tuscalossa Alabama, and Gainesville Florida? Quite a few. Sometimes, they really fuck-up (big time) at Rivals.

You know, mistakes are made all the time by rating services, coaches and recruiters, and, oh surprise, surprise, 17 and 18 year old kids.
Phillips himself said he left because he didn't fit in....I have no idea what that means: could be he couldn't cut in in the classroom; could be he got his nose out of joint because he found himself playing behind others; could be that the "system" being introduced by Rogers wasn't his game; could be the coaches weren't treating him like the 5 star superstar he was. I frankly don't know what his issues were. But Phillips chose to leave the program...and I say given his choice, nothing ventured, nothing gained. He may turn out to be a superstar elsewhere (but that is not a frequent occurrence once you commit to sitting out a year and/or choose a "can't miss" opportunity like UCONN as your landing ground....simple fact of the matter is HE choose to leave. But I know it is tres fashionable that all "bad" things are ultimately the coaches issue....so despite any evidence to the contrary, in your mind, lacking any factual basis, it ultimately must have been the coaches' screwup.

He actually had 2 TDs.
It feels like he left forever ago. I don't remember why or have the story, but I just remember thinking he was horribly mismanaged. Spaz burned his redshirt, then he got injured, recovered, but then did not get into another game. That's how I remember it, anyway.
