I don't believe LSU can offer a football scholarship to a coaches son.
Even if they could.....why would they?

I think the point of the question is that at $4 million plus per year, Les can afford in-state tuition at LSU.

Exactly.

Ive said this before but it would be it would be the ultimate Saban move to offer Manny in order to either make Miles look like he wouldnt offer his own son, or make him offer his own son that is not exactly SEC D1 talent to a scholarship
That's a hilarious line of thought, but Les would just pay Manny's way to go to LSU. No way Manny would go somewhere to compete against his dad, and if he does end up on LSU's football team, he wouldn't take a scholarship, because the cries of nepotism wouldn't be worth it.

The screams coming from the self righteous nega rantards would be classic if Manny started a game at QB.

Why would you think that? It has happened before, not all that long ago.

Clint Trickett (now West Va QB) was on scholarship at FSU and his father is the Asst Head Coach there

And Drew Hixon received a scholarship at LSU while his dad was an assistant here.

He is 5'11', period.
How many really good HS QB's around the country are 5'11" or smaller? A ton, and none will get sniffed by any big football school. He should play baseball, which.....if a pitcher, will also be uphill for a regular kid that is not named Miles.
Not impossible but almost impossible for a normal kid.
D1 schools draw a line at certain size and literally don't look at certain positions if they do not measure above those "lines". It's just the cold hard facts and can't look at everyone, and should not look at him if he does not fit.

That is right down Saban's alley to do something like that.

Drew Brees and Russel Wilson are ~5'11", they seem to be OK QB's.

Yep.. he reminds me of both those guys - NOT!

Miles is a good high school quarterback, but he is not a SEC football prospect.

Cool. You named two out of all of history.
They ALL played COLLEGE Football.
Eta: I don't think Manny is good enough to be a D-1 QB, but not because of his height.

I thought faculty members/ Staffs kids tuition was paid if they were qualified to enroll? Thought that's how Kragenthorp got to hold the clipboard?
