'26 MS WR Tristen Keys (lsu commit)

[Adam Sandler]

They were fun. I was glued to this site every minute I was awake.

But also like thank god we havent tracked a plane in 5 years

Haven’t seen any posters saying this about Staley and Mathews.
Where do you agitators come up with this crapola?

Try in this thread on this page. The resident thread hijacker is claiming Matthews is a bust.

Poster asked in MNC if the VQ feels better or worse regarding Hiter and keys

AP

So can everyone calm down now lol

 

[NighthawkVol]

Hopefully he doesn’t listen to Thornton who threw Heup under the bus again recently; evidently blaming our offense on the fact he rounds out his breaks and below average coming out of a break, which is why he only ran slants, posts and go routes. Why run an in or out or dig if your wr can’t run it right.

And it’s not the offense's fault he won’t play through a hangnail. Every time he caught a pass, he left the field with an injury.

 

[Orange.]

Why lie?

That's what he is.

If it is Pope needs to go for getting suckered in twice. Unless we see significant improvement by the WRs, and by significant improvement I mean we go for 3k yards in the air in conference play

Oh so the WRs need to have an even better year in only SEC play than they did when Hendon Hooker was the qb for the entire year?

Way to set completely unrealistic expectations. You’ll always be disappointed

Not sure that's completely fair. Although he did seem to be injured often, esp for 6'4" 200 lb dude.

Don’t get me wrong - I want Keys to be a Vol.

But landing Moa made this more of luxury imo.

Again - I want keys and I’m rooting for him to be here. It would be an elite monumental commitment. But with Moa, King, and Bey… I feel like we have some genuine studs in the class.

It’s great to be in the greedy place and not the needy place.

It is tiresome to deal with these POSTURING posts so they can double back to spread their NEGA agendas throughout the season. Sadly they seem to think it works.

 

[Derek Reese's jumpshot]

I definitely want Keys, but crazy recruitment usually means crazy player.

It's really not that crazy. At least, Tristen Keys' behavior is not crazy. He seems based. And I have heard he has a nice family. Now the speculation and handwringing and all the "feelings" that get shared by others surrounding the recruitment is another story. But that's not on Keys.

GB!

How many times has this been accomplished in Vol football history?

Also are you under the impression Pope is just out here recruiting Keys on his own?

3,000 passing yards in SEC play is 23% MORE than the top passing team in the SEC last year, Ole Miss.

Your expectation seems a little high. Either that, or I’m high.

Couple things AP said on the Volquest pod:

1.) If Keys flips, he doesn't think there will be a decommitment first.

2.) He put a greater than 50% chance Keys flips than sticks with LSU, continued to say TN has momentum and longest relationships.

And also said his relationship with Faizon + mom. I think they like Rocky Top…but I’m not at their Sunday dinners. So idk. Only time will tell if the good guys win in the end.

 

[DaddyChad]

Really think the only obstacle is the lack of development lately at the position. Otherwise he would be a Vol already.

Maybe it's not fair. But whether he wasn't toughing it out or was legitimately hurt, it's still not the offense's fault. He was ALWAYS hurt. He'd catch one pass, then leave the game. Often for good.

He was tapping his helmet wanting out of the game every time he caught a pass and got tackled. I started watching him specifically a few games in after I noticed it

Let me rephrase that, 3000 yards against P4 opponents. So that gives us at least 10 games to get to that. With Vandy and Kentucky on our schedule plus Mississippi State that should be do able. The point is 2022 can’t look like a fluke like it currently does

Not good at math are you. 3,000 yards in conference play is 375 yards per game. That’s not happening by Tennessee or any other team in the SEC.

 

[therickbol]

You don’t seem to realize that while a coaching staff could theoretically do that, it would be insanely stupid. You’d have a revolt amongst the other WR’s and even other position players that would immediately want far more money.

Most people still refuse to understand this concept.

Dude, in 22, we had one of the 3 greatest QBs we have ever had. You speak straight nonsense. 3000 yards over 10 games is 300 per...with a QB who was playing at App St last year, or a RS Fr. And, somehow if we dont meet your standard, thats the WR coach's fault?? I pray you are trolling, and not this foolish.

It’s my favorite thing I read when we lose our on a guy. Just give it all that money to another guy who also plays a different position without any regard for what other comparable guys in the class or currently on the roster are being paid
