Padron gone??

[Junior]

i have always been a KP fan. will be no matter what he decides.

at his best, he's one of the best we've seen in a long time.

if he stays, will be great to see him out there. if he leaves, best of luck wherever he decides to go.

I hate to call him a quitter, but he sure looks like one in this case. Why would he transfer? He is most likely our starter next year with a solid offense to support him.

He has been the best QB I've seen at SMU since I started following the team. I'm grateful for what he has done for the program, but this is bizarre to say the least.

It is TRUE he is transferring. I really like Kyle and the Padron's. I wish Kyle the best!

[sbsmith]

Smart move by Padron, he'll really benefit from dropping down to a lower level. We're screwed at QB if Gilbert decides to enroll elsewhere, QB depth issues persist heading into season 5.

[Mustangsabu]

Best of luck to Kyle.

The question now is what does this do to team morale?

We probably need to just forfeit next season.

I hate to hear this. I liked KP and was hoping this would be a great year for him. A competitor wants to play and he probably doesn't see that happening. Best of luck to him.

When the going gets tough- the tough get going unless your initials are KP. Then you turn tail and run.
Quitter- let down his teammates and the university. How can anybody wish him well.

GO PONIES!!!

[BIGHORSE]

Perhaps he is perplexed as to why JJ benched him all year. Perhaps he and JJ don't get along. My guess is that he does not think he would have a shot to play at SMU next year. Can't blame the guy for moving on. This happens all the time. Not sure what JJ has against padron..

[ontheedgeofmyseat]

He is a GREAT kid, but this ain't Sunday School class folks, it's college football, a bidness, fleeting, ever changing...good luck to the young man..........next!!

Reed is right. Padron knows if Gilbert is here Gilbert would probably get the start. He only has 2 years of eligibility left so he needs to go where he can get a better shot a play, Bo Levi Mitchell did the same thing and he did very well. Again, Like Reed said it happens all the time.

[SMUer]

But mostly to us. When was the last time we had a 3-year starter? How many programs have sat 2 noe 3 record breaking juniors in favor for a freshman (we'll see about GG) in a row? Willis, Levi, This isn't just a "he's a quitter" problem, it's systematic. Also one of the team's most visible leaders and clearly well-liked.

I think Eastern Washington University graduated their QB this year. Maybe they are looking for a replacement.
