'26 MS WR Tristen Keys (lsu commit)

[Big Orange#1]

AP thinks it's more likely we land Hiter than Keys. I would say that is not good news

I think it’s great news that we land one of the two. And Hiter is head and shoulders above the rest of the RB field this class and we haven’t landed a #1 RB since Bryce Brown

"Not what my ppl at UT say…most ppl I talk to believe LSU is trending away. Even with them trying to hire ppl close to him."

AP just now

What was he responding to?

 

[Volman678]

What was he responding to?

an insider on the site said his UT people were telling him Keys sticks with LSU

Need to get him on campus again. Good grief, how many times has he seen campus?

Flashbacks to Carnell tate

Flashbacks to Carnell tate

see, I feel same way too.

You’d be pissing and moaning about Tate had he committed to us based on his production so far

that's quite a hypothetical.

 

[LaagerVol]

You just have to speak Negavol. Since many of those players have not played considerable time yet (because they were freshmen), they are automatically deemed to be worthless busts that are a waste of a slot on the team roster.

These guys act like if wide receivers aren't on the field that had huge production last year, then every pass thrown this year will fail to be completed.

They fail to realize that our QB will likely pass for 3,000 yards minimum. Those yards and completions will be divided amongst whatever receivers are on the field no matter what they did or didn't do last year.

Not that I’m a Hugh Freeze fan, but I heard him talking the other day about the WR position being developmental and it’s difficult and rare for guys to contribute first year. Said they make a big leap from year 1 to year 2. DK Metcalf and Van Jefferson redshirted for him

Yep. Kid clearly enjoys the process and the attention.

 

[Vol423]

Don't care. I'd do cartwheels naked down Cumberland if we got both those guys.

Nobody wants to see that.

Facts!

 

[LaagerVol]

that's quite a hypothetical.

Lol you know it’s true!!!

I think most hypotheticals are just that, conjecture

Have you ever complained about Mike Matthews?

 

[SSVol]

Truth is there's a reason why kid cant commit to us despite loving Tennessee. Cant deny that.

He's currently committed to LSU. He's still trending away from LSU, he just hasn't yet made that formal. What makes you think he can't commit to Tennessee? I'm sure there is no rush. He has a position.

Just basing it off what is being said.

My org wording was he's had every opportunity to commit to us. He still might, and I hope he does. At this point however, where we lead, then didnt, then were in a good position after the OV, coupled with AP's comments. I'm saying he's had every opportunity to commit to us. But that there must be something we arent providing he sees elsewhere. Hence he seems like he just cant commit to us.

But what you're saying is also true. He has a position. And that makes sense.

Either way, WR is a big position of need this cycle. If we dont get him, hope we go big in the porthole.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Have you ever complained about Mike Matthews?

Do I need too?

 

[Jackcrevol]

Jack's a good boy....a darned good boy.

not sure what to make of this

 

[LaagerVol]

I would hope that I complained about his usage, or lack thereof. That is what I recollect most.

Then you would have complained about Tate’s freshman year too

I just looked back thru your post history ...

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Matthews was injured at times his freshman year but folks that want to claim he is already a bust will continue with that till they can’t. Can’t wait till he shuts the talk up! GBO
