'26 MS WR Tristen Keys (lsu commit)

Movement?

Hopefully not bowel. Unless it means Keys is taking a bowel movement on Brian Kelly's head.

 

[LouderVol]

This ambiguity has me lost.

Kid is busy with his season. Committed to LSU, when we led. Kept visiting here, keeps talking, and loves it. BUT says development for the league is tantamount. Signs with Adidas, has three Adidas schools in tow.

People talk about Adidas, NIL, competition. Kid is an alpha, wants to play with the best. Isnt concerned about competition.

AP says take the field. Lots of emojis, little substance.

people are probably reading too much into our Adidas deal if they are expecting it to impact NIL deals this year. The deal doesn't kick in until June or July of next year. Keys will already be in college by the time any Adidas funds hit UT's pockets.

rev share, nil futures, nil now. they can create a future package and plan for him. he's a 26 kid.

Has Keys said anything about a definite date that he would confirm his LSU commitment or switch or has he just left it vague that he’s still not 100 percent to the Tigers?

but is planning to enroll early for the spring.

if you believe its about the money, he isn't going to wait around to get his "real" Adidas money.

Posted direct quotes from TK in this thread from Aug 19. He says its about development for the league. Yes, there will have to be a plan. Yes NIL will be a component (LSU just restructured his deal with them). But its development.

But that is latest info ive seen.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

He rarely posts, old profile but he’s norm pretty close with his statements.

Based on some of the recent chatter, I wouldn’t be surprised if Keys announcement went down early next week. His season starts 8/30. If not it could be a long road.

Define close. He said we were getting Hiter. More than once.

Is this just heresay, actual info, or tea leaves? Seems speculative.

Rick has info.

"In the end, Tennessee expects a Top 10 class this cycle, but I believe they will close in on Top 5 when all is said and done."

- Tom Loy

This article isn't directly about Keys but Loy's quote tells me our staff feels really confident in flipping him as well as some others.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Rick has info.

Ranger Rick? Rick Springfield? Rick and Morty?

The ones saying we aren’t getting Keys are just being intentionally ignorant and negative.

As long as the ( lsu committ) is beside his name and he says, development for the NFL is #1 for him ,
The ones saying we aren’t getting him are being realistic and less ignorant than the ones saying we are.

I don’t know if we will or not but until he de-commits from LSu I’ll assume we aren’t.

This is Volnation, Hint, the bold.

I think Hiter told us we were getting him. Fluid. Not saying he’s an insider, I have no idea.

Why would a kid confirm a commitment?

Don’t think he’s publicly commented on his commitment since his commitment. Why would he?

 

[Jackcrevol]

"I just feel like choosing development over money is a smart business decision, honestly," Keys added. "When you get on the field, make plays, more opportunities come."

Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers have dominated the recruiting trail this offseason with the program landing commitments from multiple blue-chip prospects. After

"When it comes to money and development, of course I'd take development first because we trying to get to that big money, which is NFL," Keys said. "When it comes to 700 to seven figures, and the production is there with the 700, I would take it because I want to be ready and prepared for the next level as fast as possible. So development is No. 1 for me, for sure."

I’m not sure exactly when he said that bc SI also published an article June 25 that has the same quote from him. So it’s not new.

 

[RandomUTfan]

It seems more likely than not this guy will be a Vol. Nothing specific informing that—just the breadth of all info leading to this point.

AP has come out and said that if he is going to flip, it would be before his football season starts which is this Friday.

If not, this thing will go deep into the fall and he will likely take additional visits.

Either way, (If he does flip or not) this one is going all the way to signing day.
