re: QB Phillip Sims Update: Sims is the most prolific passer in state history (Oct10)
Whew!!!. When I read the thread title, was scared to death that he was opening his recruiting again. After two decommitments.....well, you know. I've heard he is solid to us, but I'll rest easier with a signed LOI.

I think Phillip Sims has his sights set on a big National Championship ring with a big "A" sitting in the middle of all those diamonds.. It's coming to Bama and more than one.
Under Armour All-American quarterback Phillip Sims completed 10 of 14 attempts (71.4-percent) for 253 yards and four touchdowns Friday night during Oscar Smith's (Chesapeake, Va.) 42-0 win over Deep Creek (Chesapeake, Va.), the Virginian-Pilot reports.
Early in the third quarter, Sims became the all-time leader passing in Virginia history, a mark that now stands at 9,179 yards.

“Alabama’s getting the total package. Phillip’s got the best arm I’ve ever seen. He’s got the best understanding of the game I’ve ever seen. His mental awareness and pocket presence are second to none. He helps his linemen out with his ability to move around, which you have to be able to do these days in order to be successful with defenses being so fast.
“Phillip wants to play in the (Southeastern Conference), compete for national titles and be in a pro-style offense. He’ll graduate early and enroll in January, where he’ll get a chance to participate in spring practice. Although Alabama has some good quarterbacks in their depth chart, he believes he can compete with those guys and earn early playing time.”

That's the kind of football team we want."
-- Nick Saban, Alabama head coach
The 6-foot-2, 230-pound senior quarterback finished the night with a state record 9,179 yards career passing yards. The record had been 9,152 by Adam Morgan of Dinwiddie. Coach Rich Morgan believes that state career records for completions and touchdown passes are also within reach for his star pupil.
“There have been a lot of great quarterbacks in Virginia, so this is pretty big," Morgan said. "Most important is his record as starting quarterback at Oscar Smith (41-3). He has been starting since his fourth game as a freshman. He’s been a tremendous leader and a major producer on offense.”

It's great that he feels that he can come in and compete for playing time, but can he handle it if he has to sit for a couple years and watch others ahead of him? We have some VERY good QB's lined up already on the team. Hopefully PS can sit back be patient and learn to be great.
