'26 MS WR Tristen Keys (lsu commit)

Keys could flip to us tomorrow and his recruitment will still go to national signing day. Personally, I'd much rather him flip in December so we don't have to spend the whole season fighting other teams off like LSU is having to do.

Our staff played the long game for multiple recruits last cycle and were very successful in flipping them. I think he wants to see what our passing game and development of young WR's looks like this season and that's totally fair on his part.

We check every box other than that (longest relationships, elite QB commit, NIL, etc.).

A quick scroll suggests we are not getting Keys, and arguing over McConkey and rather if Smith is slow or not. Cool, carry on lol.

That's not coming from anyone of consequence. APs latest was Keys and Pope are talking regularly nothing yet as far as a timeline. And the troll trying to hijack a recruit's thread has no bearing on anything other than being annoying.

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.

I know, I’m more so commenting the ridiculousness that is Volnation sometimes.

None of us know. Tristen is committed to LSU. They are the team to beat. Many National pundits think TN is the most likely to beat them, 'take the field.'

But if you read the article from 19th. Its all about development for the league. I think we havent answered all his questions.

Tamu and Miami are laying in the weeds.

Miami and Tamu aren’t exactly known for putting wr’s into the league either.

Keys has not decommitted yet because he is using the 3 Adidas schools to bid up and make sure he gets the best possible NIL deal. It is very, very likely he ends up at one of the three Addidas schools. LSU unlikely. His preference is to be at Tennessee if all other things are equal. That is a lot going on UT's favor. You can start feeling pretty confident here.

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

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.
