Was hurt didn’t play in petal demolishing of Hattiesburg (28-50) last night was on crutches but had this to say - I'd say ultimately the people, the environment and the fans," Keys said. "Knoxville, playing in that stadium is big. I'd say it's just that, the coaches and when I'm down there I just feel at home. I get to see the other side and the coaches are great people, great fathers and great husbands to their wives. As well as the players, I'm very cool with the players from offense, defense to special teams. So when I go down there, it feels like family." While saying this about lsu a few weeks ago — He praised LSU for preparing players not just athletically but also for life:
“It was the best place for me to get to the next level in life and football… They develop you in every way possible.” I’ve been a Tiger my whole life. In youth ball, I was a Tiger. In high school, I’m a Tiger. Now I’m an LSU Tiger. It just fits.”

Humans lie. We have the ability ot convince ourselves of anything if we tell it to ourselves enough.

It’d be best to let him go.

I was over it before it happened because we know this is the norm.

If he’s traveling down to Knoxville will he ever make it?

I would like him more if he just said they cut him a better deal. I would rather have Dia Bell. Now, let's go flip him or grab Lagway when Billy goes 6-6 and get's fired. Billy might have 3 losses by the end of Sept.

Don’t just hear the word but live it. If not you’re deceiving yourself!

Clearly he wants the impression of his selection to be one that was thoughtful and related to his full development as a player and a person. He's clearly trying to send that PR message.

But actions speak much louder than words.

Actions suggest all of that is just the lipstick on the pig. His actions show it’s just about short term money.

I wait until signing day and see who we have. Other than that the door swings both ways.

I would rather have a player whose heart and soul is a Tiger rather than someone whose solely there for the money and nothing else

Down there? Isn’t he from Mississippi? Oh well, schooling must not be important.

Once Key’s mother hired NFL agent Bus Cook, his recruiting immediately became about money and who would offer the largest bag. Adidas signed TK to a $500+K NIL contract in June which played out perfectly for Tennessee

He will not end up at Tennessee either. There's too much $$ moving right now and LSU isn't desperate for a WR.

Gut feeling is Ole Miss will be poo this year and then realize they need to start buying talent again and they will drop a bag to keep him home.

Very rarely do we lose a player that turns be an impact player. They always talk about the 5 for 5 disaster but it was really the 5 for 5 blessing. We ended with best team in history and all together they didn’t do shite.
