Barbara Gauntt/Clarion Ledger / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images

Five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys has flipped his commitment from LSU to Tennessee just six months after committing to the Tigers.

Keys, a 6-3, 180-pounder from Hattiesburg, Miss., is the No. 1 wide receiver in the country for the class of 2026.

He originally committed to the Tigers back in March, over the Vols, Alabama, and Texas A&M.

And this is why it is so hard to really care about recruiting until a player actually steps on campus. Why waste the time and effort when they can flip for free. Guess Tenn paid him an extra $30k. Hope it works out boi!

It’s hard to care about recruiting when the transfer rule changes really make it meaningless even after they set foot on campus. When you can lose your good players in a blink and similarly raid other schools the value of a given class is fairly low.

Can we quit using the word ‘commitment’ already?

I agree. They are all prospects until they enroll and schedule classes

What a fricking IDIOT.

The good thing is we have wide receivers stacked to become the next Great NFLSU receiver. We will definitely use that money for someone that wants to play at WRU!!

he was no doubt used to being 'the man' at WR, and he could see that wasn't going to be as easy at LSU as other places. No chest

Who cares. I never once believed he would sign with LSU. Highest bidder these days with these idiots.

Why is he an idiot for going where they will pay him more? I love LSU too but it is hard to get mad at teenagers for making a financial decision. Arch Manning is from a wealthy family and he went where the money was.

Still, college football is doomed if that don’t find a way to control the money that is tainting the sport.

Arch didn’t go to the highest bidder.

Arch's family is worth $500 Mil. Most of these ghetto kids with no father figures or money are going to go to the highest bidder. Comparing their situations to Arch is weird.

The rapid decline of this once loved sport is sad to watch unfold, and this flip is not the reason don’t get me wrong

Don’t spend the money on an unproven commodity. Spend it on a soph or junior that has strong tape and can help immediately. CFB is a year to year sport. Not a build it over time sport.

I agree with this, and, in short order, this flip-flop for money behavior is going to cost a lot of high school prospects a lot of money and opportunities! Some HS kids who aren't elite 5*s but one or two notches down the recruiting rankings are going to get less or no NIL $ because of the BS flipping for more concern. Transfers are guaranteed on campus once they sign. Screw the "gotta get mine" mentality for a kid who hasn't set foot between the lines on a collegiate football field. The HS recruits who aren't standing by their "commitments" are creating a market for prospects to be treated like commodities which will put some kids in lower conferences and divisions to prove themselves or even be developed before getting their "big" offer! It'll be like Major League Baseball soon, but in a contact sport where an injury could cost a kid their entire future. The rules need to change for sure.

I feel sorry for the him. Mom probably pressured him to take the money to play for the second best college football team in TN. Good luck, kid.

And some of you will continue to celebrate when these kids ‘commit’ to LSU.

Popstiger•3 months

I will. In spite of what you and some other whiney arse people think more than 85% of the players that commit show up on campus. If LSU wants them to. Sometimes it’s LSU telling them they no longer have a place

And 60% of the time they’re right every time.

Come to LSU, where we will get you a higher bidder.

3 out of Mississippi top 20 commits are to out of state schools. 2 remain committed to LSU. Mississippi is, consistently, the poorest state in the country. They are looking to leave their destitute situation. Louisiana’s poverty rate is a close second, which makes LSU recruiting look stellar, because we don’t lose many of our best recruits. When thinking about recruiting, one must take into consideration states historical poverty and how that impact recruits. Coaches who, truly, understand recruits backgrounds have an edge.

He has not gone to Tn yet. Ole Miss bound but playing hard to get.
