I've read the threads and one thing I haven't seen pointed out is Scott's line at Zachary. According to the game early in the year against Calvary, Zachary's OL averaged 6'3" 295lbs. That's a massive OL for high school and Scott didn't have any issues throwing over them.

Just something I don't think most knew about his OL. I love that LSU finally gave this young man an opportunity.

Height did not hurt Blake Sims, same height and weight.

Won't have issues throwing if all you do is run.

But yeah, I see your point..it's all over this board.

Might be the second most talented QB in the class next to Shea, but will have many more weapons than Shea. This young man is going to win this team a national championship, if not multiple.

Height won't be an issue. The WR's we are bringing in are all like 6'6" so they will be able to be seen over the OL.

Height wasn't an issue for Herb Tyler.

I hope we get him, and that this is not a repeat of the Dak Prescott fiasco. This staff should have been all over this guy. Looking at his film and Felipe Franks' film, there is no comparison between the two. Scott is better, and the height issue is a non-issue.
It is hard to understand how a staff that is so successful at recruiting offensive linemen, defensive linemen, running backs and receivers cannot evaluate and recruit quarterbacks that can play in the SEC.

lets not act like it is/was only LSU's staff that didn't/doesn't have a high evaluation of Scott

Height won't be an issue if you move him around the pocket. He may have problems if you have him stationary throwing over massive lineman.

He's gonna have to move.

His line was 6'3", but we are bringing in guys 6'5" to 6'7"ish.

He should be find if we can create throwing lanes and different launch points for him.

Why do several people think it is a foregone conclusion he will commit to LSU? It most certainly is not

In the mid 90's a freshman out of NOLA named Herb Tyler replaced an injured Jamie Howard ( I believe against Auburn) and from that day on his record at QB was 26-5 over the next 31 games - Herb was a whopping 5'10". Scott is a lot faster than Herb.

and probably a lot taller based on the evidence:

1. He measured 5'11" last summer in his bare feet when measured at rivals combine LAST summer.

2. He may have grown an inch by now. Lot of high school kids grow a inch from their junior to senior years.

3. a picture was shown of him in a thread of him standing next to the OC of Maryland yesterday where Scott was obviously taller of the two. (the height of the alledged OC is unknown)

Based on all evidence I would say he is 6'0" tall.

As Scott is at Zackery high school probably in class as we speak. Why doesn't someone, one of his coaches perhaps, just get Scott to take his shoes off and stand with his back to the wall and mark it with a pencil, then measure from the floor to that mark with a tape measure and come on here and report his exact true height.
