'24 SC WR Mazeo Bennett (uscjr)

The level of salt buildup in this thread is so great, my kidneys are retaining waste products and I’m starting to get gout.

So we have arguably the best HS player, who also happens to be a QB, about to arrive on campus. CJH can/will easily be able to find someone equal too or better, but it is highly doubtful he will find a team with an offense like ours. Good luck to him but we will be just fine with/without him.

Go Vols!!

Ain’t nobody salty, 😂 just pointing out his mistake. I have absolutely 0 concern about WR recruiting

Dude left the #1 offense in the country for one of the historically worst OCs in NFL history
 
This makes ZERO sense.

You choose to decommit the very night a University of Tennessee WR WINS
THE BEST WR IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL award
and he's from YOUR home state????? o_O
What the hell is wrong with that kid!??


Oh lord what a dumb boy...
You know that was orchestrated by Beamer to try and dampen Hyatt's accomplishment.
 
I’m thinking like 70+ points…basically replace Milton after about 49-56 points and let Nico keep throwing

I don't want anyone feeling any mercy for South Carolina if we can put 100 on them. I will start getting over this years loss if we can get to 70.

I think losing big to South Carolina contributed to this decommit. I have been wondering if we'd lose him.

Missed cfp - check
Hendon lose Heisman - check
Hendon hurt - check
Losing impact recruits - check

We need to add some monsters on the OL and DL, and if they don't want to practice and prepare like on the field killas they need to find another program.

Our defensive ends need to be physical with the speed of wide receivers and just be out for murder on QBs.

I am still so pis$Ed that I haven't gotten over it.
 
Bottom line its a 16/17 yo kid who clearly made a decision too early. Some of y'all need to chill, we will be fine.

I can't speak for everyone because we all have our own reasons to frown on this.

For me...The lack of awareness of this kid is astounding haha!
Either
1) He was told to do this by whomever, and didn't have the common sense to see how in no way possible could this benefit him.

2) he was all up in his own head and decided to do this thinking it would send a message haha. Not one coaching staff would think that is a savvy move.

3) or He really is oblivious of the timing, and therefore again, just showing he's not intelligent.

He has good film. Not a burner, but very elusive. Can get faster.

With that said, I honestly would close the door on him after this. Too many good players out there to stick it out for this kid and his lack of awareness.
Like JR Smith ( Cleveland Cavaliers ) type IQ.

That last sentence...ouch.
 
That salty comment makes me think something is up here. Maybe we weren't recruiting him as hard since Golesh left? Maybe we know we're going to pick up somebody else? Pure speculation on my part, but you don't question our offense, that everyone knows is Heupels, and then really look at South Carolina with no OC. That's a weird move.

Again, I think his film was good. Was worth a spot for our 2024 class. Put up huge numbers this year.

- Decommit because of committing to early is sensible. Nothing wrong with that. But doing it on the night that your intended college has their best WR -same position as you- win the best of the best award??? To take away attention???or to show that WRs at Tennessee are NOT producing at therfor worried??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
NO!! HOW STUPID IS THAT...

- Or maybe he's feeling pressure from his family? Okay. We all have our struggles. But again timing....there's no sensible reasoning behind it. But there is a very sensible explanation. He's an idiot.

- Maybe Tennessee was slow playing him? Maybe they hurt his feelings?? Maybe he was scared to get replaced. Embarrassed even! "Hey Mazeo! We like you but we're going to go in a different direction ". Absolutely....decommit. But NOT on the day a college shows the whole country that they can produce THE BEST WR in college football....and you yourself play WR and are committed to them. At the least you use that as EXPOSURE to up your appeal!
Ex: oh look everybody! TN just a lost a WR recruit a month after they had Biletnikoff award winner. Why???
" Well a lot of schools coming at me now and I just need clear my head. I committed too early" - Maze Bennett

Just....didn't have a clue about the situation.
Oh my goodness. I feel sorry for people like that.
 
This all could be as simple as a kid caving to pressure. I'm sure everybody around him in South Carolina has been clowning him since our game. If that is the case, it just shows that he lacks a certain level of maturity currently. He is a 16 or 17 year old kid. To me, it says more about the adults in his life advising him. It's real easy to get in the head of weak minded adults...even easier when it's an impressionable teenager.

Very true.
I had those in my life and I distanced myself from them as a teenager.
