“They are getting an amazing guy. Quinn, as a guy, has kept his head down, a guy that’s mentally strong. I feel like he went through a lot of things, but you wouldn’t be able to tell with Quinn, because he’s the same guy every day, and then in his leadership, you know, he’s a true leader, a natural leader. You can tell by the fact that, you know, when Quinn starts talking, everybody listens.
“You know, I feel like he has earned a lot of respect at Texas. He earned my respect during my time there, just seeing what type of person he was and what type of adversity he went through. But also, you couldn’t really tell that. You know, he was, like I said, he was the same guy every day, you know, about the same energy, practiced the same and everything, and how he went about his game.”
