'17 CA DT/OL Jalen McKenzie

[Dust10]

I think they're trying to blueshirt him but that may backfire soon

If that was the plan, I'm sure his brother would be clued in on that.

Your right I'm sure him and his brother never have talked about playing at the same college together that their dad played at.

*You're.
It's a bad look for Khalil to be critical of the staff.

 

[rdk4121]

He plays Center, why not just offer him. We need a good future center anyway.

That is probably true. They are both tweeting about Jalen not having an offer. I really understand that we cannot offer someone just because his brother is here, but it does seem like Jalen is getting some legit offers, especially with the USC offer.

We have no room, especially since there have been a lot of questions about his knees. He's apparently had knee trouble for a long time now.

If Jalen ends up going to SC....I bet Khalil will transfer. Just a gut feeling.

That would be unreal

Not a chance

Never go full "slow".

What's stopping the offer? Is it a quiet done deal?

 

[MrBiggles]

Just offer him.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

MrBiggles offered

 

[bornbleddinorange]

Got to think it would bother the McKenzie family if we didn't offer, right?

Either we are trying to talk him into a blueshirt, or the staff just doesn't feel that we have room for him. It is a tough spot because he is a legitimate prospect, he is a legacy and his brother is on the team, but he also has had major issues staying healthy. Personally, I wish that we would offer him, but my feelings on what the staff should do only matter to me.

Could be the staff knows the kid doesn't want to leave California

You can at least extend the formal offer for ceremony if nothing else.

 

[KnoxVillain]

Tough spot to be in if you think he won't ever contribute...we've withheld offers from legacy kids before. However, this one is slightly different I'd say.

 

[SDV]

If Reggie was a true VFL, he'd just pay Jalen's tuition

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Realistically, there is no room.

 

[unioncityvol]

so 100% cb's to vols?

This tweet is crap. Entitled punks. Stop your crying and don't offer if you don't want to do so. Don't coddle the 5 star babies. He has done ok but not number one recruit well. Hard to like some of these guys.

Kmack is what you call a social justice warrior. Cringe

Yet he's practically begging for an offer. Brother is advocating for him on social media too. Doesn't sound like they are just angling for a token offer.

 

[Real Info]

The tweets do not bother me, but Jalen was playing the recruiting game by saying he wasn't sure if he would do what his brother did. Now, time is running out and he is begging for UT to offer. Can't have it both ways, and that's a life lesson for all young people.
