re: Trey Quinn Opens Up About Transfer

Never seen a WR with 22 career catches garner so much love and admiration from a fan base in my life. Wonder why that is...

---

yea, that's got to be the reason. Same reason that so many on this board hate Jarvis, OBJ, Dural, Malachi, etc.

Oh wait...

What do you base him having a better chance over there than in the NFL here on

---

by the number and percentage of white WR's and DB's in the NFL compared to the number of white professional soccer players in the highest level pro leagues.

skillful heady player with a great motor and work ethic" isn't a benefit.

it's a benefit in all sports but much more required in soccer than in football.

I said your line of thinking is what parents use these days to put their kids in soccer instead of football

---

well if they have white kids of some what in the range of average size they may be wiser to encourage baseball or soccer for their kids especially if the kid displays good speed and athletic ability (relative to other white kids) and where a pro team sport might be an aspiration.

so he can participate.

well that also might be a factor for a lot of parents, along with safety issues.

Yep and as a Blue Chip recruit, you should want to play at the highest level and compete at that same level. When you don't succeed, whether its 1 game or one possession, you may lose the opportunity at a second chance. You have to excel because there is always someone as good as you that is ready to take your position.

If I can recall, he dropped a good number of passes and after being given a few chances, he was pulled for someone else. Competition is just that. If you can't do it, someone else will be given the opportunity.

I definitely don't fault the kid for transferring and Good luck to him at SMU.

Yep....that sums it up

I don't think the point of bringing up that game is to say he lost it for us. The point is to show he absolutely was given the opportunity on the biggest stage, and didn't deliver multiple times.

---

This is probably correct. I think it is more saying this how he lost his job, rather than saying this is how we lost the game.

I met Trey a couple times. He is a well put together kid. However, each of the times I met him he was either "I'm leaving" or "No way I'm leaving!" type of attitude. The people that I met him through made it sound like he talked about leaving a good bit.

My point is that he seemed to be a little fickle the entire time he was here. I think the short piece that we read here kind of confirms that he may never have been completely bought in at LSU.

No shame in any of that. I hope he does well at SMU and I will be rooting for him. Definitely would have been the sort of kid I would have followed if he didn't go to LSU, just being a top performing LA talent, so will keep an eye on him in TX.

BAMA 2014 still stings for me..

Now do the numbers on kids that play soccer worldwide vs the players getting NFL money as professional soccer players.

I did. Soccer players worldwide in far greater numbers than NFL players make NFL type money.

Quinn is good at football. He'll be fine

might make the NFL, odds are against him. But whether he makes it or not he is just the type athlete we need choosing soccer and playing on the USMNT instead of choosing to play football if the USA is going to start beating these little countries like Chili, Ecudor, and Argentina on the soccer field. I (and Donald Trump) for one don't like losing to Mexico. It's time the USA starts winning! The USA should be going head to head with Brazil, Argentina, Spain, France, and Germany for world supremecy in the most popular and esteemed sport in the world and the sport that a countries character is judged by on the world stage.

He was always going to be a specialty type player and never the go to guy and I think that bothered him too much. He is basically the same size he has been since 8th grade so he was pretty much maxed out physically when he came to LSU.

I think he could have been successful at LSU if he would have accepted these things and worked on being a good, dependable inside receiver.

I don't disagree with you at all.

I was only saying my reason for bringing up bama was to show his had his shot, not necessarily to blame the game on him.

You be trippin' mane...Trey Quinn is FAST for any color...Black, White, Red, Green, etc...and can dunk easily...so he can jump too Strawman

SMU has 3 WR's currently on NFL Rosters...Emmanuel Sanders...Cole Beasley(white/ only 5'-8" 174)) & Aldrick Robinson...Trey has a shot believe dat!

Sure he is pretty dam fast running a 10.6 100m in high school and making it to the finals in the 100m in Louisiana class 5A is proof he is fast, but with an asterick(*) plus can dunk. That kind of athletiscm would have been world class on the soccer field and a big asset to the USMNT (if he also brought great ball skills along with it), way faster than say a Clint Dempsey, but maybe average in the ranks of the smaller sized NFL WR's. Doubt he has the quick twitch of an OBJ.
