But that wasn't a knock on Scott. LSU thought they had Franks locked up from early in the process, and felt they were in it for Shea Patterson until his brother took a job at Ole Miss.

If Franks didn't commit early like he did then Scott would have had a commitable offer a long time before it happened.

Also if Scott were 2 inches taller there wouldn't be a discussion. He would have been a 5 star dual threat phenomenon. Kid can ball for sure.

I agree that etling will start but we'll see some packages for scott.

always the intangible. etling and the receivers had some chemistry going by the bowl game. of course Dupree is now gone so you don't know how he'll look next year. he was improving.

one thing is for sure - I feel better about qb than I have in a long, long time as an lsu fan.

You're right. I was told by one assistant, that Scott was going to be a part of a two QB class for 2016. Franks and Scott. The staff wasnt completely comfortable with Franks because he had struggled some in the 2015 summer camp. He improved in the 2016 camp. Franks then threatened to decommit unless he was the sole QB commit for the class. Franks obviously decommited in November anyway. Scott decommited in January 2016 and became a Maryland lean. Two days later we offered. This "he wouldn't have gotten offer" thing is a little over blown.

Nobody forgets. It's more like everybody is sick and tired of hearing it ad nauseam all the time whenever Scott's name is mentioned. So most people won't mention it anymore because they don't want to get all the down votes it usually garners.

Etling will be the starter and Matt Canada's Offense will be different than the one he ran at Pitt. He'll tailor it to the strengths of the QB.

How many SEC schools offered Lindsey Scott a scholarship?

He'll make a great WR. Too short to play QB in the SEC. Will not be able to consistently throw the ball at the level you need................
