Kid should have picked Harvard
I know they don't give out athletic schollies, but if they were offering financial assistance he should have jumped on that. Football is fleeting, Harvard education is forever.

Nothing is stopping him from going to Harvard after his time at LSU. Maybe he wants to take a shot at his dream of being a QB, playing against the best competition?

I would guess 90% of the students at Harvard are on some kind of Financial Assistance. They have likely never turned away a student because of finances, just my humble opinion.

I really think we got a special guy with Scott. He's a winner, plain and simple and you know he will put the work in.

From an article in the Advocate about why he chose LSU.....

Lindsey Jr. used to pluck math from piles of middle school homework. It was the easiest, and he could finish it faster. He’ll major in computer science, concentrating in software engineering, when he gets to LSU.

Before he recounts the LSU-Oklahoma game — his first college basketball game — and before he tells of the conversation he and Cameron shared in an empty Tiger Stadium, Lindsey Jr. brings up a professor from the LSU College of Engineering from his official visit.

The educator engrossed Lindsey Jr., explaining IBM’s new services center in Baton Rouge, the 800 jobs it’s expected to bring and how, in 2013, Louisiana Economic Development pledged $14 million in funding over 10 years, designed to increase the annual number of computer science graduates.

That, coupled with a tour of LSU’s extensive Cox Communications Center for Student Athletes, wooed Lindsey Jr.

“When I do graduate, I want the academic side to set me up when my football career is over with,” Lindsey Jr. said. “(LSU) did their best to show things I haven’t seen yet. And they did a pretty good job.”



They then sat down as a family and "emotionally" he knew where he wanted to go....

There was a second step. All three backed away from the numbers. Lindsey Sr. instructed all to ignore the 11 factors.

Emotionally, where would you rank the schools?

“LSU was ranked at the top of that list for all three of us,” Lindsey Sr. said.
