'26 UT WR Salesi Moa (Utah)

[UTK]

People said the same about Jennings. To be fair I think Jennings would’ve been an NFL safety as well if he played that position instead of WR

Jennings has that dog in him, wasn’t gonna be denied at other positions. To be clear I think this guy can be an NFL WR too, it’s just I think highest potential is Saftey.

The distance factor could also come into play with the portal after a year or two.

True

Why though? WRs in the NFL make more than safeties.

 

[UTK]

No feel on this atm other than knowing any Michigan talk was silly, but Utah is the one school that could flip him. I think it’s still better for us that he’s waiting instead of pulling a quick flip to Utah obviously. Gotta land him

Key is the language I used. I think he CAN be a NFL WR. He absolutely WILL be a NFL Saftey. If he wants to be WR here I will not be mad at it, but we need help at Saftey way more and this kid is built for it.

I just want the guy here. If he ends up a safety I am cool with that. If he plays WR? I am cool with that as well. I want as many players makers as we can get.

Good luck at UTAH…

Ooooo-TAH

Absolutely. If we get him at WR I still think he has the highest ceiling at that position besides Keys. No disrespect to King or Bey, King is a pure WR we can develop, Bey is just a speed demon, just get the ball in his hand from short passes or RB. Landing all 4 is an embarrassment of riches.

I'm sure whatever plans UT has for Moa was sorted out a long time ago. If he's balking it could be for any number of reasons.

I think it just comes down to Utah upping the ante and throwing a bag at him. Their class is abysmal. This is their last ditch effort to close a big time blue chipper this cycle

 

[bpalmer28]

Not even mad about it. Do wish he’d come be our All-SEC safety. Desperate to find that guy but I’m sure we recruited him as WR if that’s what he’s bound and determined to play.

I have a feeling that’s how we got Bey. Utah offered more than we’re willing to pay, so we threw some extra at Bey

 

[Jack Burton]

You would hope this is just Moa giving the home school one final shot out of respect. It’s my understanding his Dad played there too right?

 

[kell7517]

Didn’t he though??
Who threw the TD pass to Dobbs??

You are correct.

 

[wrangler]

That was Jennings. Who's on first.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

So when is he deciding? I’m assuming not today

 

[CharlestonVol15]

Move on....

 

[Frankwillie87]

I mean, honestly we had 3 stud receivers this year.

We won 8 games.

I’m not overpaying for receivers.

Mike Matthews is on the cusp of breaking through. If he would clean up a few drops he probably already would have.

Brazzell got handcuffed by the rest of the offense since we couldn't consistently run it or rely on intermediate routes for the WRs with as much zone coverage as we got. We saw how well he played early on before defenses adjusted.

Our OL depth wasn't quite there this year, but I thought they were very solid.

I think we just need to take some of the pressure off Joey by running it more consistently and then the WRs could actually shine a little more.

 

[VolByLaw]

Imo Salesi is going to stay home. I could see it happening today. Utah just made it financially impossible to come to Tennessee imo. And Tennessee wasn’t comfortable going that high.

Move on....

Utah probably gave the vast majority of what they had to Moa

It is what it is. That's what happens sometimes when you recruit so far from here.

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Not as mad at losing him to Utah as I would've been to lose him to U of M. One thing that hasn't changed in the NIL era is that kids love their Mommas.

 

[VolInDayton]

He asked for Moa but we used it on flips today.

 

[Ttucke11]

Good luck to the kid. Weird he was committed for so long to flip now.
