VQ knows something with this recruitment that has him being as much of a lock as possible to flip. I’ll go out on a limb and say he announces the flip to us within 2 weeks of the announcement that we are changing to Adidas.

Would be an insane offensive class…

Faizon
Hiter (not committed yet)
Keys (not committed yet)
Legend
Moa
King
Osenda
Baker
Blair (not committed yet)
Shabazz

This is very realistic and an insane offensive class. Likely add another Guard and a couple portal players too.

You can also add Lincoln Watkins to that list. His flip seems like just a matter of time. Brody Smith will be that other Guard.

And on the defensive side, there’s a good chance we get one of Harris or Givens to flip at LEO.

How’s this for a final class:

QB- Faizon Brandon
RB- Savion Hiter
WR- Tyreek King, Legend Bey, Tristen Keys
TE- Lincoln Watkins
OL- Gabriel Osenda, Edward Baker, Jabian Shabazz, Brody Smith, Kamari Blair
DL- Doreon Albert, Darryl Rivers
EDGE- CJ Edwards, Tristian Givens, Kedric Golston II
SDE- Zach Groves
LB- Brayden Rouse, Braylon Outlaw, TJ White
CB- Jamyan Theodore, Zay Anderson, Javonte Smith
S- Luke Thompson, Jowell Combay, KJ McClain
ATH- Joel Wyatt, Salesi Moa

That class paired with how good the 2025 class looks thus far would make us a serious contender for the 2027 national championship.

It's just not how things work. None of that money has anything to do with NIL. It's all revenue for the University which has nothing to do with anything. Revenue sharing is capped anyway. It makes the rich richer but it doesn't buy better players. Adidas' deals with athletes are completely separate and don't always align with whatever apparel brand the school uses.

While I agree a little, to suggest these conversations aren’t happening in visits and calls is just naivety. Not saying it is a reason for Keys to flip to us…but we know these kids and corps are seeing everything. Nike doesn’t have a strong hold anymore. Crazy people were so up in arms about us switching to Adidas bc of what…uniforms?!? Well, we will have creative control. It’s a different age of college football now.

We rushed for almost 3000 yards last season. So you're expecting to average 300 yards passing in the SEC while also averaging the 220ish yards rushing that Tennessee does every game. So the EXPECTATION for you is for Tennessee to have one of the best offenses in the modern era with a new qb, four new offensive linemen, new RB, 2 new starting WR? Do you guys not see that YOU are reason why you are always disappointed with the team?

Please don't confuse him with the facts

I wager some of it will be used but rev share. but to think it's all for one kid in one sport is silly. I def think if Adidas makes us the poster child, with new NIL rules it could def help us ink TK to a legit NIL deal with us and him as their poster kid. or some ****. effect will me much less impactful than relationship

Those deals with the players have to be impacted by the possibility of a signed player HAVING to wear the other brand game days. Just not logical to not be a factor. Deal playing for one of our schools is X and playing for a competitor is Y! Betcha! Especially with logos prominent on the uniforms.

I’ve heard Swain mention it. He didn’t specifically mention Keys, just that NIL endorsements was a big part of the deal
Click to expand...
I don't know why Swain would say that. Apparel deals never have anything to do with NIL deals. Someone else asked how I know this for a fact, I know how both NIL deals and Apparel deals work. You don't have to take my word for it. It doesn't matter to me. But ask someone you do trust.

I have zero inner knowlegde, but if I were Addidas I would certainly rather a player I sign to an apparel deal play for my signature university than for a Nike school. So it would be in my thought process.
