'26 MS WR Tristen Keys (lsu commit)

[wmcovol]

UGA does out-talent the Vols, including last year.

They had 13 draft picks this last draft with 3 first rounders lol. 8 the year before with 2 first rounders.

Last year Vols had 4 draft picks with one first rounder and the year before 3 draft picks total.

Last years senior class was the 2021 recruiting class(Pruitts last class) . Go back & see where, what & who Ga, Ala & OSU signed compared to Tennessee. Outtalented is an understatement

Heupel and company need some pointers from Vitello. You have to increase the blue chip talent pool if you want to compete for national championship. If you look at the past 8 National Champions, Almost all of them have multiple top 5 recruiting classes before they won except for Michigan.

I hope we land him will be a key contributor day 1

Apples vs oranges. There’s far more good baseball pitchers than there are good college QBs. There’s far more good bb position players than there are SEC fb players.

So what you're saying is we need to recruit better....

Really just need the right group of players. The ‘22 offense could’ve won a NC if the defense had a pulse. Plug the right players in - regardless of their recruiting ranking - and can beat UGA. Hell Ole Miss beat them last year

If only Heupel had increased our blue chip ratio since he’s been here…..

Do you think Heupel has increased the blue chip ratio since 2021?

He’s done that. Have our highest blue chip ratio in decades.

Can you all just create a new forum regarding Heup’s recruiting/WR?!? This is public and folks are seeing this. Supposed to be regarding the recruitment of Keys. Has become a rabbit hole. Gosh.

That’s what this is. A public forum.

Staying on topic all the time is absolutely NOT possible and boring. We have to do that at work all day, so why would we do that in our leisure?

Keys would be awesome, but I’m perfectly satisfied if we keep
- 5’10” 190 lbs 4.3 speed Legend Bey
- 5’11” 175 lbs 4.3 speed Tyreek King
- 6’1” 180 lbs 4.3 speed Zay Anderson and play him at WR.

Per VQ

Speaking of 5-stars, Tristen Keys continues to remain in a holding pattern. The Vols and others continue to recruit him heavily, and LSU is fighting to hang onto him. This has been the MO for months in this one, and at this point, there is no clear timeline for when a final decision could be made.

Anderson will play CB. The other two are slot types (albeit, really good ones). We need an outside WR in this class.

There is a thread for miscellaneous discussion on here, though.

I wish this one would get back to Keys.

The guy you’re responding to doesn’t deserve the moran tag, he’s definitely a MORON! JMO

They have. Since they took over the blue chip ratio is dramatically improved. I believe we are now 50%+

So, again, what you're saying is we need to recruit better. Recruiting better doesn't necessarily mean following the stars. It means getting players that can contribute significantly on the field, regardless of their star rankings. We need guys who can learn the schemes quickly and get on the field to actually play rather than rides the bench for 2-3 years. It's okay to admit that. Hell, coaches would probably agree with that assessment.

I thought I saw somewhere that King can play inside or out?

Either way i really hope we can reel in Keys. Watching him in the all star game as a Junior was all I needed to see.

King can also play outside, but he’s better suited for the slot.

We like speed in the slot. Make offense go vroom.

By all means lay out the realistic plan to get to a top 5 recruiting class. Especially still with our restrictions. I would love to hear it.
