What gives with Clark Phillips III and Cameron Martinez?
Usually when a coach that has been very instrumental in developing a relationship with a blue-chip recruit leaves the program, there are concerns about the kid flipping. There are five defensive-backs that have verbally committed to Ohio State, and Jeff Hafley had a hand in all of them deciding to become a Buckeyes. But now, Hafley is off to be the next head coach at Boston College.
Interesting considering that many people believe that Clark Phillips will flip to Utah. https://t.co/yl8ES8wH3v

We’ve heard from most that they will still be signing with OSU, but Clark Phillips III and now Cameron Martinez both seem to be in jeopardy. Phillips took an official visit to Utah, and Martinez has now delayed his signing beyond the early signing period per Josh Helmholdt of Rivals (subscription required). Ryan Day says he’s confident all five will still sign, but there are warning signs with both.
In the case of Martinez, it sounds like we’ll have to wait into 2020 to find out where he’ll eventually land.
