Ensminger told Coach Hank that he is the smartest X and O quarterback that he has recruited in a long time. Enrolling early will give him time to learn the system. He will practice with the team for the bowl games.
Also, He threw for 312 yards against a talented Destrehan team in the playoffs while running for his life the whole game. O-Line gave up 9 sacks. It wasnt from holding the ball, the D ends were meeting at the QB
Dont get me wrong, I've been a big proponent Finley has had very little help at Ponch and even said he should go to IMG this season, but the fact he has very little help is what will hold him back from playing (VERY) early in college too IMO. He just has a lot of developing to do overall between mechanics, making progressions and not 100% just relying on his arm to get the ball to where he's trying to get it too.
Like I said about Jamarcus, if he came in and won the job in 2014 from day 1, it likely would've looked real bad. He redshirted, progressed, started in 2015 as a redshirt freshman and showed some flashes but also still had some struggles and had an average season. He comes back his redshirt sophomore year and blows away everyone with a huge season and huge progression from his first day on campus.

I agree with you. Having said that, why do we have people on here suggesting that LSU should cut bait with the young man? Can that poster see the future? It's like he/she already knows TJ is going to suck in college. It's ridiculous. If TJ was playing at IMG and stinking it up, then I would have some concern. But he isn't playing with ten other guys on offense who are all going to a power five program.

Your timing/recollection is a bit off here.
2003 = redshirt
2004 = RS FR/ part time starter in mix with Randall
2005 = SO solid season
2006 = JR impressed to elite level
meanwhile Flynn came in the same class, saw limited mop up & injury fill-in duty. Then led 2007 team to BCS natty.
