Phillis chose LSU over Florida State, Tennessee and USC. On the 247Sports Composite, the 6-8 200 pound forward is the No. 2 power forward in the country and the No. 1 basketball prospect in the state of Missouri.
Phillips explained why he liked LSU.
“The visit was great. Me and my family had a great time down there with coach Wade,” Phillips told 247Sports. “They have a really nice campus with real nice facilities, and everything was very good when I went down there. Coach Wade loves my game and I’ve been on multiple zoom calls in the last few weeks where he’s breaking down my game and things like that.”
LSU lost a few players from last year’s team, but it seems as if Wade is finding some big names on the recruiting trail to fill those spots.
