It's possible but Herman is only leaving for a big big time HC job now. He turned down South Carolina this year and got a 3 million/year contract at Houston.

That is debatable. What is not debatable is that he was going to be the 4th or 5th WR option this season at best...and his senior season did not look to be much better either.

When Strong gets his arse railroaded out of town midway through the season they'll be rethinking that whole Houston thing.

I am sure we will be fine. Best of luck to him

Hate that for him. I remember he was considering Texas Tech and Clemson and was possibly leaning toward Clemson at one point. Made the decision to stay home and it didn't work out. He probably would have been better off at one of those schools with a more developed passing game. Best of luck to him.

I don't know what that Doc guy was trying to say, but actually, I believe Quinn was playing out of position, especially in this offense. We really should have our taller receivers playing in the slot because our QB has accuracy issues. I think Quinn would have been better on the outside because of his route running and how polished he actually was. His issue as noted here was he couldn't get off the block as a freshman, but all our receivers had that issue. They also had Jennings throwing to them. He only saw 1 receiver. As mentioned here, we are easily defended by our personnel. He was not a TE, but he was used exclusively as a blocker. I really don't blame him for leaving. He was probably promised a lot to come here, and saw through the bullshite with Cam staying.
Agree with this, why can't it be that he was not a fit and will be a great player elsewhere? Why do some folks insist on bashing the guy and calling him inferior?

People don't want to admit that though, IMO, because he is white.
No, you are coming across as being an arse. Maybe some folks want him to be the "hope" they wanted, but let's be real here. He is sold short because he is white by folks like you who try and find something wrong with him instead of just accepting that he is different than the type of receiver this team wants. No need to call him less anything since he has shown that he can excel in many sports.

what's with the racial nonsense? Nobody cares about a player's skin color. This ain't the 60's anymore. It's 2016 - move along please.
I like Quinn, not because he's white, but because he had ridiculous numbers in high school and seemed extremely quick on the field his freshman year. Seemed like there was real potential there. Was hoping we could get him the ball in space and let him make plays, same as our other playmakers. Didn't happen. Had nothing to do with skin color.

My intent is not to come across as an arse. I am simply pointing out that many on here have been pissed at Quinn's lack of playing time since he arrived. Most of those same people have concluded, without basis, that if he would just get the chance, he would be an All-SEC player.
I do not recall any short, black WR that so many have assumed greatness for without on the field production in the history of LSUs program.
He is a fast kid with a great work ethic. He is limited, however, in what is required to be successful in the Miles passing attack (passing attack being a very loose term).
I keep saying it and this will be my last post, but you have to have a large catch radius to play for Miles because they don't teach accuracy in passing.
Quinn obviously does not have it or he would have played more and been targeted more.
People don't want to acknowledge that though because they want a white receiver to be successful for LSU.
I mean no harm here, I am just pointing out what should be obvious to most objective people.

Good luck to a fine young man. Maybe he can excel with another team, but the competition and depth at LSU is so deep and talented, that he couldn't break through as a starter. Good luck!

No reason to be so defensive. It's human nature to be drawn to people and root for people that look like you. I don't think anyone is accusing anyone of racism other than people accusing those not in full panic mode of hating him for being white.

His straight line speed wasn't the problem.
His problem was two fold. His inability to beat bump and run consistently and his inability to not be able to create separation bc of that, hindered his playing time. Our sets are not friendly to this type of receiver. Hence why he was lined up in free release positions hence the inside slot majority of the time. If you go back and look at his HUDL highlights nobody pressed him not one time. Not one team doubled him.(probably bc of scheme I know Rummel did in the state game) He was given free releases and he ate people alive. The catch in the TTU game was a free release and he ate that DBs lunch.

Assuming he could beat out the other receivers in those respective programs. Especially Clemson.

Again? Seriously, dude? You're going to blame Quinn not getting looks on the QB?
How about the huge drops he had vs Bama in '14? How about the fact that he struggled getting open at times?
The fact of the matter is he fell behind on the depth chart and lost some of the coach/QBs' trust. He seemed to be getting some of it back toward the end of the season. But he seems to want a guarantee that he'll be heavily featured in the rotation, and he won't get that at LSU.
So... best of luck to him. But don't delude yourself into thinking that Quinn's troubles weren't--at least in part--of his own making.

Hearing from Trey and the people around him that he's looking at Clemson, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Louisiana Tech, and if compliance allows it, Ole Miss.
Posted on 2/16/16 at 3:14 pm to 337Tiger19
Ole Miss is out most def.

On my NCAA14 video game LSU dynasty with updated 2015 rosters, Trey Quinn transferred to Houston and was a Biletnokoff finalist.
Posted on 2/16/16 at 3:18 pm to 337Tiger19
I could see Miles doing a solid for Gundy and letting him go to Oklahoma St.

The whole argument about his drops vs 1 Bama game is stupid.. it is relatively insignificant and a small sample size to judge a player. Quinn along with Diarse was mostly utilized to block out of twin's I formation (telegraphing obvious run plays.. very elementary coaching scheme). Dupre, Dural, and sometimes Diarse were in the lineup for passing plays. A lot of the passing plays were chucks up in the air toward the sideline for Dupre or Dural.
Case in point, stop using Quinn as a scapegoat. It was a collective failure with the abysmal QB play and inferior offensive coaching.

No, he doesn't.
He lacks the size. He has the athleticism. Those TWO SEPARATE THINGS make up the package.
Having good size has absolutely nothing to do with athleticism.
I have great size for a DB/WR. I'm 6'2" 200 lbs. Does that mean I'm athletic?
(hint: I am an out of shape white boy that gets schooled in YMCA basketball)
