Tennessee continued their hot streak in basketball recruiting, adding four-star power forward Cade Phillips. The Alabama native announced his commitment early on Thursday afternoon.
Phillips checks in at 6-9, 200 pounds and is the 78th ranked prospect in the 2023 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. Interestingly enough, Phillips picked Tennessee over Alabama, despite some truly deep Alabama family ties.
He’s the nephew of former Alabama quarterback Brodie Croyle and the son of another former Alabama quarterback, John David Phillips. His grandfather also played for the Crimson Tide, and his mom played on Alabama’s women’s basketball team.
