A Hat on the Table: The Jaelan Phillips Story

My memory of him is tainted by his melt down at Husky stadium

True freshman at the time though
 
Just left UCLA. I wonder if we are going to go after him at all.

Other than Eason, what other kids that turned us down did we pursue when they became transfers. I’d be shocked.

We didn't go after DJ Johnson and instead gave the open scholarships to senior walk-ons. FML

DJ gets to play in the Duck's bowl game btw. Would be nice watching him play in the Rose Bowl.
 
Think he broke his wrist skateboarding or something and then had complications in the recovery...some truly Bruin way to flame out.

When he was at Miami, there were a lot of people pumped about him. Miami's D was pretty crowded though. Now, it might not be.

I didn't know what else was going on there. He may have been homesick. The west coast kids tend to underestimate how different things are in the east, and while Miami tends to conjure up images of palm trees and beaches and shit, it is also a very, very eastern city. It is full of transplants from the NE and has been for eons, so Miami runs a little, or a lot, NY'ish, and I've noticed over the years that people from the west don't always like it.

DJ Williams was very homesick and almost transferred to Cal. He fought through it and was part of some pretty good teams and won a natty. That doesn't really happen at Cal. Sorry @BearsWiin .
