Lloyd Phillips will not play for the Griz
Several sources, including a commenter on this blog, have indicated that JC point guard Lloyd Phillips will not play for the Montana Grizzlies this year.
For the speedy guard who was enrolled in summer school classes at UM this summer, it was a combination of eligibility issues and the possibility of bigger offers to come. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to see this kid play but from what I hear he was a potential high-major player who would've stepped right in as the starter at point guard. We'll have to wait and see how this trickles down.
Odds are, this moves Cameron Rundles back to the 1, his natural position, and then putting someone like Ryan Staudacher or Matt Martin at the 2. Losing someone of Phillips' nature is big but it's something the Griz should be able to overcome.
Phillips will be playing his ball at Iowa Western Community College this year.
