People forget that Scott wouldn't have even gotten an offer had Flippy Franks kept his commitment.


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.

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.
