Academics make it unlikely that Payton signs with Tenn
Totally not true. Kid scored a 27 on the ACT & had some personal issues early in his HS career..
I'd suggest from now on not starting these rumors about a young man unless you know for a fact.. Your source wasn't right with this one.
Kid will be close but should qualify. He knows what's at stake.
Too many times people make statements without knowing much about what some of these kids go through in their personal lives that can affect them throughout all aspects of life.

With all due respect, sir, the poster is not too far off base when you make the statement that he will be close but should qualify. Sounds like academics might be a concern, but it won't be if he takes care of business...based on his ACT score, that shouldn't be a problem as long as he continues to apply himself. Good luck, kid. Hope to see you in Orange, if that's the place you want to be.
Yes but to suggest the young man is going to flat out not qualify is jumping the gun quite a tad bit. He is about to enroll in online classes to replace some of those not so good core classes before 10 of the 16 lock beginning in the fall..
To me as a coach who sees the young man daily, it's not becoming to his character and gives a false image that doesn't need to be out there imo. Kid is only 17, let us not judge them too young as they still are children & will make mistakes. The question is will they grow and learn from them..

How come he's not rated
I'm not saying the kid is any good. I just don't know.
But to answer your question directly, it is possible he hasn't done the things that get a player rated.
Some don't have the time or money to go to camps.
Some don't have a father like Bryce Brown who markets them.
Sometimes a WR doesn't have a QB who can get him the ball.
Sometimes a HS coach likes to run the ball. Heath Shuler could have started for any HS in the state of NC his Sophomore year and thrown for state records. But his HS coach was a run-oriented coach. It took time for him to open up the O.
There are lots of reasons a kid may not be rated or ranked highly that have nothing to do with their ability.
