re: Trey Quinn Opens Up About Transfer

find that one school that you feel comfortable with that they’re gonna be there with you through thick and thin, regardless of the outcome on Saturday.

In other words, find a school shitty enough to play you no matter how you perform? Trey Quinn is a good player, but we have plenty of guys just as good or better. And when Trey needed to perform he didn't.

Wish him the best...he probably should have gone to a gimmicky offense like Baylor, SMU, etc.

I don't see him going past CFB so why not go where you can contribute more?

I also believe the talent we have assembled has something to do with his decision.

Where's tigeralum93 when you need him? He always magically seems to have some inside information somehow. Maybe he can decipher trey's crap.

I say he plays five years in the NFL. Diarse will make it too, if he can consistently catch the ball. Trey's problem wasn't his talent; it was the talent of Dupre, Dural, Tyron, Chalk, et al. The talent at LSU at WR and DB is astounding.

Fact is, he played amongst top tier talent and choked at the wrong time. Is what it is. Could he have rebounded? Yes. Is he a talented young man with good character? Yes.

In the end, both will move on.

Well, if you honestly think there are 12-13 teams in the country with more talent than LSU then LSU must be doing one Hell of a job developing players because the NFL sure disagrees with your opinion.

How fricking dumb are you?

I said there is Bama and 11-12 others. That is including LSU, and until the past few cycles, they were prob around 8.

Recruiting rankings give you an idea, but don't tell the whole story because of injuries and players not panning out or getting kicked out like 5* RP.

His class wasn't a top 10 class, with out him that class doesn't look so good.

But recently, Bama is above everybody, LSU is closer to Ole Miss.

Im a fan of TQ and good friends with his uncle, but im not on board with these comments. He started i believe as a true freshman at WR for LSU which is pretty remarkable and clearly shows Miles gave him his opportunies.Some players never get an opportunity to start especially as a freshman. Carried off the field against #3 Ole Miss was a great experience.And yes Clemson recruited him hard and went out their way to get him even showing up at one of his track events.That meant alot to Trey i heard.
Also the 7 step difficult routes LSU had him running and the continued 7 step drops from Jennings were mind boggling. You have a freshman undersized WR and a QB who cant hit a barn and u continue to run difficult low % pass plays? This didnt allow TQ or Jennings to play to their strengths and gain confidence and success. The rest of the game you just block had to get old and very frustrating.
And yes the QBs left him and all the Wrs out to dry on many occasions and caused a concussion to TQ and ended Durals season last yr. That certainly played a role when he alligatored armed the drop that cost LSU the Bama game. It takes courage to stop underneath those Alabama Linebackers in the first place and knowing the QB might throw it high and wide, doesnt help.
But that cost LSU the game. It is what it is. Bama knocking the piss out of them all game contributed as well. That was a hard hitting and very physical game. But when you practice a play all week just for this down and distance and the OC and Miles call it at the right time and its there. The rest of the offense executes and the maligned QB delivers an accurate pass to seal the deal and you drop it?
Thats not fair either.

Theres blame to go around for sure.
Sometimes things just dont work out. Fooball isnt always fair, same in life with marriages, careers etc. You choose the mate, the job or the school in this case, so hold yourself accountable as well.
It wouldve been slightly different had he said this right after his decision to leave. One can say the youngster was caught up his emotions.
But to make these comments months after you were the one that made the decision to leave, is a bit classless imo.

Maybe he shouldn't have been so stupid and resisted getting his vision corrected for 2 seasons.

I've been watching a lot more soccer lately. TQ could have been a great soccer player. Should have played soccer in high school. soccer is a sport where along with good athleticism, being a skillful heady player with a great motor and work ethic really is a benefit

---

To be honest that this line of thinking offends me. Might not be how you meant it, but It's like the attitude that your "lunch pail/high motor" child can't go as far in the sport of football so put them in soccer so they can get more pt and participation trophies

Should Diarse have played soccer instead of being Mr. Louisiana in HS football too? Or just Quinn

Being the top hs wide receiver statistically in history wasn't pretty rewarding?
Being carried off the field against ole miss wasn't rewarding?
Having fun and being the big man on campus at SMU won't be rewarding?

If he had played soccer he would have not been an "all time" great like he was in HS football.
He would probably not have enjoyed it more.

If he was great at soccer then what? He'd be playing at some small instate school, or ACC school if he was elite, in a sport without nearly the fanfare..,
Maybe make the MLS, while its still just as likely he could turn it around and make the NFL.
The talent is there, he just wasn't ready. Russell Shepard wouldn't have caught those either and he has collected many NFL paychecks.
