Two make moves from Olney Central

Ishan Phillips, (SO) 6-foot-8 (210) from Philadelphia, PA signed with St. Francis University in New York according to Olney Central CC head coach Mike Burris.

"Ish has signed with St. Francis. Coach Mike Netti did a great job in the recruitment of Ish," Burris said. "I think they are getting a very good player this late in the game. Ish is extremely athletic and skilled. I think playing with some true post players his game will flourish at the next level. He shoots the ball well and handles the ball exceptionally well for a guy at his height. Ish is very excited about joining Coach Nash's program and we couldn't be happier for Ish."

Phillips, a Philadelphia native, played his sophomore year this past season at Olney Central College in Olney, IL. The versatile Phillips averaged 9.3 ppg and 6.7 rebounds for the young Blue Knights. Ishan also recorded 64 blocks this season. Phillips played his freshman champaign at Panola College (TX). Maine and Towson all had made calls on Phillips this spring. Ishan visited Butler back in the fall period.

Chris Tucker, (SO) 5-foot-9 (180) from Philadelphia, PA, has also made a decision. Tucker the starting point guard for the Blue Knights this past season has signed on with D2 West Texas A&M. Chris averaged 9.2 ppg and 5.1 assists this year.
