*** Ladarious Phillips "has elected to not play football." He's no longer on the team. He's been given an unconditional release.
I'm right more times than not bitches...
I could be wrong, but this dudes biggest, and probably only, real action this year will be on special teams as the wedge buster...

I am kinda surprised they never tried him on the defensive side of the ball.
Unless they did.

I think it was the MSU game, he was in at H Back, and he tried to block an MSU DE who he probably outweighed by 30lbs, and who literally picked Phillips up and threw him on his ass. I knew that moment that he was a big fat pussy.

I watched LD get plowed onto his lard-ass and rolled over onto his back during the A-Day game last year. That's when I knew.

Yep, and ESPN showed that play 25 times over the remainder of the game.
294 pounds of fucking disappointment. I had visions of him catching a swing pass out in the flat, turning it up field and fucking mauling Dre Kirkpatrick's mouthy ass. Hell, if Honey Badger could knock that overrated motherfucker out at 170 pounds; Ladarious would have killed him .... literally. After that play against MSU, what would have been the most likely result would have been Dre catching him, bench pressing him, and then throwing him into the 3rd row of seats WCW style.
That being said, he'll transfer to Jax State and have a record setting year.
-
He was never D1 material, fat and out of shape. If you'll remember, we took him as the last signee in a class a couple of years ago as a 2 star. He was not highly recruited and was viewed as a raw project. I never felt the hype with this guy as many did.
-
I knew he'd never make it. Said that right from the start.
No....really.....I did.
Seriously

And I believe you. Many thought that. He was a last minute (we still have a slot open) NSD chance we took on a raw player. We kind of did the same thing with Wallace this year out of Central PC. Except I think Wallace has more upside as an athlete.
-
I don't know who I was reading it from, but someone set my expectations that this kid was an unstoppable bulldozer that tops out at 95 MPH.
He was the Sammie Coates of a couple of years ago. The "diamond in the rough" that is reported to defy physics and the parameters of human ability.
Just sayin.
-
I went to the scrimmage where he got hurt his first year. Got hurt right at the end of it. Up until then, they gave the guy several carries. I thought he didn't look like much as a runner but it was apparent he moved pretty damn good for a guy that size. I was never stoked about the guy but I did think there was good potential for him as a FB on short yardage.

Hawg Bear? Not sure, but it may have been Prowler. Many knew this guy was a longshot, and many also knew he was the next Brandon Jacobs.

I am almost positive who that dude was. It's the same dude that said he ran a 4.8 as a 260lb OL....

To be fair, it wasn't just one person.
I was hearing it from beat writers, and other message boards, and I want to say more than just one person here.
Anyway, we all know he turned out to be a bit of a bust, I'm just saying, I don't recall everyone soothsaying this on signing day.
-
I'll give him a little credit - He did catch a swing pass in last year's A-Day game that was really impressive. He moved extraordinarily quick for a boy his size.
But that was his one moment.

Enough speed to play RB at the HS level, and enough size that nobody wanted to tackle him. This aint HS.

Yep, I read multiple people thinking he was being wasted, and needed to be made a bigger part of the offense. I kept wondering: "Based on what?"

I liked the novelty of having a guy that size playing fullback. LSU had a 280 pounder that made our guys quit. With our lack of a true fullback last season, you would think they would have pushed him in to that role. Apparently, there was a good reason they didn't.
-

Brandon Jacobs: 6-4 260, 4.56 40 at the combine.
Ladarius Phillips: 6-0 295, listed at 4.8 in the 40 on Rivals, which is most likely 'optimistic'.
No comparison.

Got a kid that plays for the team I help coach. Plays RB/FB. 6-0 220, tough runner, will lower his head and get the extra yards, nearly impossible to bring down, very good vision as a runner, with natural instincts, athletic build, good numbers in the weight room, . If he had any speed he'd be a D1 prospect, but we cant ever time him (hand held) at anything under 5.0. And, if he doesn't have the ball in his hands, he's worthless as tits on a bull, won't block a soul. He could, but simply won't. My guess is Ladarius like that. No ball to carry, he could give a shit less.

Forget all that even. Jacobs would have done fine, we just didn't have enough carries to dole out.

I didn't realize you were Prowler.

No she didn't. She just gave really good blowjobs.
I'm in the same boat as Chizad...someone blew sunshine up my skirt about this one and I bought it.

I mentioned this in passing, but tell me now if Sammie Coates is going to be the same way. None of this after-the-fact shit.
Cause shortly after their signing, the practice reports and message boards were eerily similar on the uncanny abilities of these guys. Neither were on anyone's radar, but both are/were alleged to have superhuman speed and physical ability. Philips's was combined with brute strength and impossible weight, and Coates's is combined with verticals and long jumps that essential equate to human flight.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...a fool me can't be fooled again.

Good analogy. Have no idea about Coates. I guess we'll get some guage in a couple of weeks. I sure hope he's all that and a bag of chips because I see a ton of potential and hype with our WR's but nobody's done shit to show they're on Blake's level.

Phillips was a 2 star fat fuck fullback. Coats was a 3 star WR, and apparently the speed listed on rivals, it not terribly inflated. Some people Prowler for instance like to pick some "diamond in the rough" and predict great things. Sometimes right, more often wrong.
Fact is, the only one I know around here with a crystal ball that he thinks can see in the future is Prowler.

Kiss my ass fucktard.
You claim that too?

No comparison in my opinion. I have never seen the dude play, but based on things that I have read, I am looking forward to watching this kid. He is a stud. Athletic as hell. I was impressed with not only the football things in high school, but baseball as well. I would be surprised if this kid doesn't do some good things at Auburn.

Difference in the 2? Best I can recall, I don't recall hearing any players really talking Ladarius up. Internet boards filled with folks fascinated that we had a RB that was a biscuit short of 3 bills? Yeah.
Coats? The coaches and players are all talking about him.

You claim that too?
Unfortunately.......yes.

Which reminds me....HEY AWK....How's Trovon Reed gonna be this year? This is his year right?

I'll put it this way, Stefon Diggs would've played behind Sammie Coates...also, Angelo Blackson will be Auburn's next Lombardi winner (barring injury of course).
I can't help it if others got excited and expected the next Ron Dayne/Jerome Bettis with Phillips...I just wanted to see him run downhill and kill a couple defenders. Also, the guy could do a standing backflip, iirc.

That was the last time I drank the hype koolaid.

I drank that one too. I mean shit, the guy was most people's #1 WR and a five star can't miss. He played at a big school against good competition in HS. He was really a fizzle of mammoth proportions. As was Leon Hart and Tony Bell.

To be fair to Tony Bell - he actually was a badass. Just also a dumbass.

Yep, a lot of those high talent, high risk, low character types under wingnut. Tray Blackmon also comes to mind although I wouldnt say he fizzled. When he was out there, he was decent. Guy had raw energy (much like Bo) that needed to be molded and never really was.

This is probably why everyone thought Auburn had the next Jerome Bettis in Ladarious Phillis....Thanks Tiger Wench.
