Keyes de-commits from Wisconsin

[Sonny Weaver]

Keys wont play running back. He will play receiver or saftey.

RECEIVER?!? lol

[Oldtimer55]

he wont play running back in college. If he plays anywhere, it would most likely be on the defensive side of the ball. Im pretty sure that Wake Forrest wants to see him develop on defense. He looks great coming off the bus. That being said, it will take him time to develop into a D1 football player in a P5 conference. I wish him all the best!

yea it's clear now he will be going to WF as a LB. When that was posted weeks ago, it was believed he was going to Wisconsin as a RB.

definitely a good statement about him looking great coming off the bus lol. prolly has a better shot playing at the next level as a WLB than at RB

He’s a heck of a LB and he’s playing D1 ball with a fully paid education. Good luck to Jaquez, great young man on and off the field.

He’ll be signing his NLI Wednesday along with Carter and Perkins to Cincinnati at the Ironton High School, if you’re interested in attending, open to everyone.

Ironton High School Auxiliary gym Wednesday 2 pm

Go Fighting Tigers……

A fully paid 80 k per year education at Wake, that is much more attractive than Wisconsin IMO!

Keyes has decided not to enroll at Wake Forest and will be at Kentucky as a walk-on. They are going to give him run at running back instead of at linebacker.

He gave up a full ride at Wake to be a walk-on at UK? Wow!

Hope it works out for him.

[greygoose]

Interesting you would've thought he would've known that information long before now, oh well good luck to him everyone has to make their own decisions

[Jeaux Burreaux]

Will say Lexington is closer to home than Wake, possibly be his choice but what do I know hope it works for him

[wobycat]

Saw where Keyes left Kentucky anyone know if he’s somewhere else? They listed him as a walk on

Left kentucky also?
As i understand it when he left Wake he was sorta going back and forth on if football was something he was interested in continuing to do. Maybe he is on his own journey?

If he was already questioning his interest in football, being a walk-on would clear that up quickly. It’s brutal being cannon fodder for the scholarship players.

[Sonny Weaver]

hype over substance at that HS program. keep saying it. feel bad for the kids, faulty expectations on the gridiron.

2 things can be true at the same time: these kids are NOT Power 5 Talents BUT its great that IHS is getting them the opportunity to go to P5 schools to compete/get an education. hope he's able to find a way to get his schooling paid for

It appears it may have done just that.

So all those recruiters just bought into "hype" and didnt use any critical thinking skills when deciding who to recruit? What metrics did you use to reach that conclusion?

lol um how about none of these kids since Pendleton has been there have played ANY meaningful snaps at the P5 level? Playing time at the P5 level is a pretty good metric of P5 talent if you ask me.

Gage Salyers played a good bit early in his career at Youngstown State.

I’m willing to bet Reid Carrico plays a lot at WVU.

The others are in the 2023 class and they are freshman.

Your argument just makes Pendleton look like a better coach. Which way you going to have it? He has all this D1 talent and can’t win it all or none of these kids can play at that level and to make the state championship game half the years he’s been there? 3 out of 6???

I must've missed Youngstown joining a Power 5 Conference, my bad.

It’s still D1. They play many of the big boys. Give me the last Wheelersburg player to play football D1?

According to burg fans on here burg is the seo ivy league but everytime i look up some news in the wheelersburg village it reads like the catalytic coverter theft league. Something is not adding up.

Your comment does not appear to be football related, but since you brought it up…

Wheelersburg fans aren’t saying it, the state of Ohio is.

Burg high school received 5-stars which means “significantly exceeds state standards.” Only school in SEO to achieve that.

As for Ironton, they received a whopping 2.5 stars meaning “Needs support to meet state standards.”

80% of Ohio schools received at least 3 stars. Ironton high school in the bottom 20%

I was reading about how wheelersburgs graduation rate decreased somewhere between 8 and 10% over the past few years.

Overall Burg schools seem underwhelming in comparison to how they have been advertised on here by many of you. I'm starting to think its way overstated in the same way the football team is on here every season.
