“We are excited to have Terrence in our Mizzou program,” Anderson said. “He’s an outstanding young man with the sort of character and drive that will fit in well with our program. He’s a true point guard who has proven to be a winner during his career so far. He and his teams have won and done so at an extremely high level.

A native of Orange County, Calif., Phillips finished his three-year stint of high school basketball at Oak Hill as one of the academy’s all-time winningest players. The prestigious program has produced NBA stars such as Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Rajon Rando.
