Phillips spoke to On3 about his game recently. “I can shoot the ball very well, at a high rate and I can let it fly,” said Phillips. “I’m a good facilitator as well and can get my teammates open, help them get shots off, and get them going. I can handle the rock very well, even under pressure defense and I don’t lose focus on plays. I kind of study the reads on certain situations. I’m a good, all-around team player.”
JUNE 13 UPDATE:
North Carolina transfer Kerwin Walton has committed to Texas Tech. He told On3 Sports, “I felt that I could make an immediate impact.”
The 6-5 shooting guard and Minnesota native chose the Red Raiders over Clemson, Memphis, Oklahoma, and Kansas State. During his freshman season at North Carolina Walton led the Tarheels with 58 3-pointers in 20 starts.
JUNE 5 UPDATE:
Elite class of 2023 power forward Devin Williams from Corona, California has narrowed his commitment down to five schools, including Texas Tech.
The 6-10 prospect commented on his appeal to Tech to On3:
“Coach Mark Adams is a really, really good coach over there. I love Texas Tech’s playstyle," Williams said. "They play fast, play extremely hard. They’ve made some really good runs over the last few years. I just love their style and coaching staff."
Williams is also considering UCLA, USC, Arizona, and UNLV.
May 29 UPDATE:
Corey Williams Jr, the class of 2022 point guard and son of Tech assistant coach Corey Williams, has committed to Texas Tech.

MAY 26 UPDATE:
Elite 2023 Elijah Fisher has committed to Texas Tech and will be reclassing to the class of 2022. For years the 6-6 wing was the face of the Crestwood Prep basketball program and the most highly-touted prospect in the country.
Now, he'll be moving on, having decided to reclassify and head to Texas Tech to play collegiately.
Fisher decided on Texas Tech, where he'll team up with fellow Canadian Fardaws Aimaq from Vancouver, B.C., who announced he'll withdraw his name from NBA Draft consideration and return to Texas Tech.
Fisher will be draft-eligible next season following his freshman season.
