If the dude can produce for the Vols why does it matter how they project in the nfl?

D4Hs comparisons are bush league

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Not if they’re already paying their guys more money.

But if you think for a second that every WR in that room wouldn’t want to renegotiate after we gave a HS WR $1M then you’re wrong.

Glad to know you know the future for certain

It’s just how it’s done now…

If you choose to believe that that’s not how it works then ok.

 

[Jackcrevol]

he obviously loves it here

We shall see.

We shall see.

Probably not bc most likely we’ll never hear about it unless a player’s agent puts it out there to put more pressure on the staff. So many contracts / NIL are renegotiated all the time. We rarely hear about it bc it’s bad business by the agent to put that out there. Putting a sour taste in school’s mouth for the next time you’re trying to get more money for your guy or you have another client at same school.

Pro production is a more accurate measure of his talent than college production which is more varied due to difference in talent between college teams. Basically a guy can look great in college but not really be that great.

I think Tristen Keys is good. But he's not worth getting into a bidding war over. Use the money he's seeking to sign 3-4 other quality players.

I actually think this Tristen Keys/DeVante Parker comp is one of my best yet. Watch their highlights and tell me they're not identical.

The Parker comparison isn't bad.

Keys is faster and a much better athlete at this stage in their HS careers but they play very similar. Parker was very acrobatic in the air with strong hands.

Why? Who cares if he’s a 2 time all SEC player. The resident oracle has decreed that he won’t be a very good pro. Don’t waste your time.

I'm sorry. Tristen Keys is in HS.

I'm sorry. Tristen Keys is in HS.

I mean if he becomes a 2 time all SEC player.

oh lord dude is the game changing WR that we have needed for a while.

Doesn’t matter. If D4H doesn’t think we should ,then I can’t get behind it.

If we properly showcase Mike Matthews this season then we will get this guy in my opinion.

Just need to get some of that mojo back on offense

He still posts here?

Thank god for the ignore feature.

Looks like he’s hanging out with Faizon a lot. Saw some stories from Staley.

Yeah we just get to watch guys like this go to places like LSU or OSU and completely ball out and become high draft picks.

Let them ORIGINALLY go elsewhere and IF they pan out, invite them thru the portal. Probably get a bigger bang for the buck that way instead of funding the development year. Losing them or getting them out of HS has less significance than the old days. Celebrating or moaning is pretty useless.
