Well he has decided to leave Missouri.
He may regret not taking that Ivy League offer.

He seems like someone who hasn’t yet resigned himself to the fact that he’s not a QB at the college level and up

Why did we even entertain that plug?

He was one of those players that peaked out in high school. Wish him the best, but it is looking like his career is over with. There's nothing wrong with that, as he will get a degreen and nobody will be able to take that away from him for the rest of his life. He could end up getting into coaching, as he is a really good player that is only restricted by his physical attributes. He has the knowledge of the game obviously, and could help other players reach their potential in the game.

He got some bad advice. I was saying from day one that he should've jumped all over the opportunity to play at Harvard. Hopefully he still has that opportunity.

I wonder how many QB's in the last 15 years that we passed on that really amounted to something? We have taken several that have been flops, but not sure we have let many pass that we all regretted. Dak is about the only one that comes to mind.

I really hope people in the comments don’t say anything bad about this kid. He’s a good kid who comes from a good family and he’s also extremely smart, hence the Harvard offer. I wish he would have taken that opportunity but I understand wanting to live his dream of playing for LSU. Those saying he’s not a qb are wrong though. He has a tremendous arm to go with his ability to run. If he were 2 inches taller in high school he would have been a high 4 star top 100 player with an offer list of the best teams in the nation. I wish him nothing but the best and hopefully he lands somewhere he can be given a real chance to start.

He should go replace Chase Fourcade at Nicholls next year and win a NC.
Great kid from a great family, he deserves success.

Honestly if he had stayed at LSU and we hadn’t won the Joe Burrow sweepstakes last year, he likely would have been our starter since Brennan was injured. He should have just stayed at one place, made the best of his opportunities, and locked in a grad assistant spot like LaCouture. There is serious money now in college coaching.

hope he finds a good sspot for his lat two years.
All I remember was the kid was a winner in high school whether he ahd teh measurables or not. In the right setting, probably a lower level conference he could shine like McMillan at Tulane.

He was really solid in high school. The thing that hurt him the most when he hit college is his size. He should have stayed with his original commitment to Syracuse or left LSU for Tulane. He might have even had a shot at Kansas had he gone there instead.

It's another reminder to take player evaluations from the rant as entertainment, only.

When you get a chance to go to an Ivy League and pass it up to go to LSU (LSU grad), you messed up.

This is myth.
Harvard never offered “admission” to this young man.
A Harvard coach expressed interest. None was returned.
There has been a great deal of fiction surrounding this young man, who I understand is a very nice person. He has a lot of vocal, enthusiastic fans.
Oh, and he also did not grow three inches after committing to LSU.

Could someone bump an old thread from Lindsey’s recruitment to LSU ?

Wish nothing but the best for this kid. At the time, i said let the kid chase his dream at LSU. But if it was a starting qb or leave dream, his best bet was Harvard. He probably would have become a tycoon with a degree and the kind of connections being a star football player there would bring.

didn't he get an offer to play at Harvard? His guidance counselor should be taken to the firing squad.
