This kid reminds me of former Alabama WR John Metchie. I think he's gonna be really good for us.

Wait...... so the Internet lies? I am shocked.

This is good. Not that it would prevent a flip, but it certainly doesn’t help Utah’s case. Now that he’s committed I really want this kid to be a Vol.

Knew that money we paid BYU to cancel the series early would pay off eventually

I thought us UT fans were delusional. This is next level type stuff. You got pull off some Simone Biles mental gymnastics to even come up with this

Lol... wouldn't they just get him to go to BYU if they had the money?

Most athletes dont want to honor their student honor code lol

If we've got random boosters willing to pay recruits huge sums of money to NOT play elsewhere, then we are in BUSINESS

Maybe Ohio State can send Hiter a contribution not to go to Michigan.

I mean his 2 older brothers both go there so it’s not like he hasn’t a clue how you get around it all and do what you want. They give a really LONG leash to their athletes

"In Pope’s previous four years with the program, the Volunteers have generated an SEC-best 26 individual 100-yard receiving games and multiple first-team All-SEC recipients, while sending at least one player to the NFL every season. Tennessee’s four drafted wide receivers since the spring of 2022 ranks tied for second in the nation over the span."

I'm sorry but the Pope can't develop WR's narrative is a lame argument. If you want to say he has whiffed on some evaluations in recruiting in his earlier cycles that's fair but the truth is the talent in the WR room last year was simply not good.

Take a look at where all those guys ended up (Squirrel - Florida State, Leacock - Purdue, Webb - Maryland, Nimrod - USF.) None of them were SEC caliber recievers other than maybe Squirrel who was just too small to stay healthy in this conference.

People want to criticize coaches like Elarbee and Pope when they are just now getting their hands on elite SEC talent. Pope is currently ranked as the 11th best recruiter in the nation (2nd best WR coach behind Brian Hartline at OSU) this cycle and Keys is still a possibility, which would likely vault him into the top 5.

Whether these coaches can truly develop talent will be shown these next couple seasons. Have some patience people.

Still too many drops though………..

Correct. So, BYU, where both of Salesi’s older brothers played football, paid NIL money to get Salesi to commit to Tennessee. Of course! Why pay him to commit to BYU?

Yea, the dumbarsed business. What idiot would pay any player to go to a program other than their own? This is beyond ridiculous even for internet rumor.

Not a knock on your post, just the idea in general

 

[Glitch]

That’s some TN level conspiracy there.

Seems like something that should be copied. I will pay recuits 5 whole dollars not to go to bama.

“Whom paid him” is a nice touch too
