'26 MS WR Tristen Keys (lsu commit)

[BigOrangeTrain]

LSU just got a Fong bomb for highly rated 4* WR Boobie Feaster as well. Must be nice.

 

[SergeantVol]

It’s tough for Tennessee to get a kid outta that part of the country unless he wants to get the hell outta that part of the country.

You aren’t wrong. A lot of them don’t want to leave.

 

[cncchris33]

He picked LSU. Feels like a NIL thing, not a position coach thing.

It probably is NIL and its a long time until signing day, but perception is often reality for a coach whose unit stunk it up last year, unfortunately.

What? Why is our WR recruiting so stale?

Ugh. I dont get it guys.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

With recruiting and the way NIL is now,let him go to LSU,let them suck,and let's see if he wants to leave in a year. Like Amari Jefferson,he may come back.
Let our passing game ball out and show WR that they can actually get the ball

WTF

good point. always forget about that.

recruiting is fluid

 

[VolInDayton]

Being in the leader seat for months seems like it's not always the best spot

 

[woodrow77]

Never really felt like a reality even tho there was alot of talk of Tennessee being the front runner ... We need to go ahead and get Wyatt in the boat now !!

His loss. New QB and coach can't win

And a coach that apparently didn’t call the player after he got cancer.

 

[LaagerVol]

Absolutely not true. He loved UT… Faizon and his relationship was just a cherry on top. Not sure what LSU did here though their receivers have had success in the NFL. Last I heard about a week ago was that we were in great shape to get him.

Seemed like we had a flurry of WR offers go out or renewed interest at least over the past couple of weeks. Bet the staff had an idea things were happening here.

Not so much with TK. But in general, one would think that a top flight QB (in three classes) would attract five star WR. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

LSU puts quite a few good or great receivers in NFL.
Odell Beckham Jr,
Jarvis Landry
Justin Jefferson
Malik Neighbor
Ja'Maar Chase

To name a few. High school recruits notice this stuff..

This is why he chose LSU. I bet our NIL offer was as good or better than anyone else’s.

Joe many of those were recruited, coached, and developed by Kelly, though?

How many of Tennessee great WR' s were recruited, coached and developed by the same HC?. The moral is LSU more recently is known for putting WR's in NFL and mostly 1st round draft picks. Battle, Majors and Fulmer all had 1st round draft picks at WR. Tennessee's last 1st round draft pick at WR was 2012 Patterson, two guesses who his Head Coach was.

Me Neither! UT has probably one of the best(If not the best) stable of QB's in the country. They would have gotten him the ball, No doubt! All this time, he was a UT probable. From now on, I'll wait for signing day to follow recruiting. The recruits these days change their mind more often than they change their underwear!

 

[overseasorange2]

Faizon is locked in with us.

These days....I never say never!

It’s a good counter point but I think players view LSU as a brand so I don’t think the coach matters that much

 

[SentinelVol]

It’s NIL. 99% of all recruits commit for financial reasons. And I would be no different.

True, but no one is promoting UT's history of producing WRs as a factor.

Your counterpoint should have been, "don't call me Joe, Shirley."

Apologies for the typo.

It’s been a long time since we have had a really productive WR in the NFL. We all love JJ but he isn’t really that productive. Patterson isn’t a good WR. He is just electric with the ball in his hands. Hyatt? Tillman? Palmer? They really haven’t done anything.
