Trebor Pena transferring to PSU

[BillSU]

Agreed 144%.

Did *anybody* have Meeks on their bingo card as one of our top WR’s last season?

Yeah, no.

But he stepped up and took advantage of his opportunity, big time.

Gill was similar in the 2nd half of the season.

JRS is healthy now.

And we’ve got a bunch of other promising, talented guys waiting in the wings.

WR is our deepest position, by far.
We'll be fine there.
Next man up.

721, Agreed! Our WR room is full of talent, and we are still offering.

I will say in Trebor's defense, he was an excellent receiver last season - great hands and speed. Still I did not like what he did although I can understand his position. Get the money now if he cn because the NFL may not be in his future.

But we have that in the room now just waiting to explode. I hope Collins is good because the players can catch the ball and I think it was Gill who also in my Eval. had a 40" VJ which he showed some of getting over and above defenders last season.

We do not have a problem creating another slot receiver.

I’m a little slow on the intake but I thought all this started because he had a better deal that he found to be satisfactory.

If Pena is still shopping around, does that mean:

1. The offer from the other school wasn’t really a valid offer, or
2. He is willing to break his informal (but valid) agreement with the other school for more money?

Re: Miami.

Beck is a mid qb. Also he transferred to be with his girlfriend, then proceeded to (allegedly) cheat on her within a month of being there. Sure personal life, but I don’t believe he’s going to work there.

Now compare that sort of stuff to how locked in Peña’s old QB in McCord was… yeah.

TBH there are a LOT of parallels between McCord coming here and Beck going to Miami. I don't think Beck will be better than 2024 Kyle McCord next year but the similarities are there.

Especially ignoring the girlfriend part which seems unnecessary to throw in there.

My cousin went to Penn State (yes yes I know) and was talking to me about it.

He said they're pretty loaded at that position and thinks Treb would be WR2 or WR3 and would have to work for it. He was also disappointed that Franklin appears willing to snipe like that.

Anyway it just did not sound like a $2M offer situation at all. I assume (hope?) PSU is a backup plan for him. If we dropped our offer then maybe he needs something to counter the ostensible one from Miami.

24 year old law students, apparently.

Imagine being a former player and current SU law student and your side hustle is helping star players leave the program.

fair enough. There are more stories out there, and they aren’t pretty. Meanwhile compare that to McCord actual dedication to football I believe it can say a lot. Guess it was fine for Manziel in college.

Kids do stupid things, but in the age of NIL I believe if you are being paid that much you are now an employee but eh.

Just because there are stories out there doesn't mean they are true. Especially if they're coming from disgruntled Georgia fans.

it doesn’t. But some of it there are receipts, bro should rly consider deleting snapchat.

Guys that are too old or too young.

 

[ezbeezy214]

Wide receiver wise they have about 6-7 guys who can go out there right now and contribute. Gill, Ross Simmons, Ross, Hornsby, Boobie Johnson, Hatcher, Demetres Samuel.

Russell

Russell

I don’t think he’s gonna play as much as those guys I mentioned but he’ll definitely get some run.

I think that is key. In grad school I parked in west lot (now RAY) for a year. At least at the time it was mostly law students that parked there. Over that year my pretty decent car got like half a dozen dents (the kind from people carelessly swinging open doors), and I got sandwiched in by illegal parked cars once or twice. I've never experienced anything like before or since and I've lived/parked in an urban environment for like two decades.

I'm obviously not talking about all the students here, but I think it's a pretty good metaphor; I think there's a self-absorbed gene that gets released in some kids while they're in law school. From the limited information we have, this situation would seem to fit that.

This must have been "the school up the road" that Fran referenced in his interview.

Beck himself said he doesn’t watch football in his spare time and it was strictly just film sessions. He and McCord are not the same.

Take it for what it is worth but this is what I just heard about Pena at PSU and what he has been saying… “…if Pena expects 2 million from PSU, he won’t get it! Pena leaving SU as lost faith in new QB & Offense! ”

I call BS on Pena

Of course the offense won't throw 45-50 times/game with Collins. He can run well. I expect a lot more running plays.

 

[JoeSU]

He needs to start working on his blocking skills.

If that’s the case then it’s even more selfish than a money grab.

No team will throw to him like McCord last year. I fully expect a more balance offense this year which is good. IMO, Pena and his Agent made a big mistake as he could have been the featured WR here and now will be just another option and if PSU is his destination, then yes, blocking for their star RB will be it.

Guy is dead to me
