In one of the biggest recruiting surprises of the year, Oregon State landed a commitment from Michael Philipp (San Bernardino, Calif./Arroyo Valley), who's one of the elite offensive linemen in the West region. He was thought to be a heavy lean to Stanford, but the lineman has decided to call Oregon State his new home.
Philipp took official visits to Cal, Oregon, UCLA and Stanford before visiting the Beavers this past weekend.
"It came down to where I felt most comfortable, and for me, that was at Oregon State. I knew my decision would surprise some people, but I was honest all along and never said I had a leader. My trip to Oregon State was eye-opening and I loved it there. I loved the coaches, and especially Coach Riley and Coach Cavanaugh, the OL coach. Out of all the trips I took, Oregon State was the best, and the place where I got that feeling that this is where I should be for the next four or five years of my life."
Philipp just visited Stanford a week ago and found out on the visit he was academically accepted to the school. Many felt the Cardinal were in the driver's seat, but the Beavers were able to pull this one out.
"Oregon State may not have Stanford's academics, but the bottom line for me is of all the schools, that was the best overall fit," Philipp said. "You can get a great education anywhere you go, and Oregon State offers me an opportunity to play early, have some great coaches that will make me better, and I'm excited to be a Beaver."
what was he thinking? what do you think about his pick.....?
Bruin, let me school you on something there is that saying "only you alone can determin your own destiny" Philipp made a great choice because it was for him and him alone. Your destiny is in no one's hands but your own. Your choices and the decisions you make sets the course of your future. It's true that sometimes events happen to us that we cannot help, but no one else decides for you how to react to them and how to continue onwards. on one can determine through actions how there lifes will unfold. its part of being growing into and adult and a man. Of course, there will be consequences to the choices that are made, but there are always consequences to any choice one makes, even if that choice is to try to avoid making any choice at all. You could offer up excuses, reasons, all manner of explanations as to why you're being forced to take one course of action or another, but in reality, no one else can truly force a decision on you. You and you alone make that choice and consequently have an effect on the future of your life. and Philipp did just that he is clearly a bright guy being accepted to stanford so he will do just fine with the Beavers. heres another one for you "it doesnt matter where you go its where you end up" now take that one and you go to stanford....!
