re: Cam Cameron watched Zachary QB Lindsey Scott dismantle another great Defense

I don't think depth is an issue for us right now. He had a great championship game and a tremendous year. What are the scouts saying about Scott? Why haven't other SEC or Big 12 schools gone after him?

Okay, one more time. QBS DO NOT SEE OVER THE LINE. They all see between passing lanes. Russell Wilson's starting OL: LT 6'5 LG 6'6" RG 6'5 RT 6'5" - (Centers a typically shorter anyway). RW takes lots of snaps under center. Now I'm not saying that he's RW. But that what you see from the pocket is what you see. If I'm 6'2, im not going see over a 6'6 lineman either. I need passing lanes to see. It just sounds logical to reason that he can't "throw over" a line. And I understand that many of us on this board probably never played football, and even fewer played QB. But his height doesnt limit him. Coaches perception of the effects of his does.
Point taken. However, if you read my comments, I'm talking about opening throwing lanes and line splits, as well. The shorter a QB is, the more critical opening these lanes becomes. To me, it stands to reason that it would be more difficult to do using tighter line splits and zone blocking. I know spread option teams usually go with wider line splits and small, faster offensive linemen to help create running and throwing lanes.
But, I freely admit that I never played QB and have never run an offense, so I may be off base here.

I don't think Haskins is that interested in LSU. I thought I read somewhere distance is an issue for him...which is why LSU is going after Oden now?

Who was the QB LSU signed late a few yrs ago (Randall?) from Florida? He was a "4-star," wound up never playing a down and transferring. If this kid Scott is as you describe, then yes, LSU should offer him. Harris, Jennings, were highly recruited. So is this kid Haskins. Is there any evidence to suggest that Haskins will be better than Harris? They seem like pretty similar QBs.

Cam WAS NOT IN THE DOME. Coach O, FRank, and Corey were. Coaches who had contact with anyone playing during the week, could not be at the game per NCAA regs.
Dandy Don - In the Class 5A title game, Coach Cam Cameron was on hand to watch Zachary quarterback Lindsay Scott, the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year, defeat John Ehret and LSU linebacker commit Michael Divinity, 46-12.

Randall is a backup QB at Arizona, I believe.
The potential difference between Harris and Haskins looks like it is early polish and experience. If my memory is correct, Harris didn't play football that long in high school. He is one of those very talented, but raw QBs who needed further development. We've definitely seen that play out with him over the last 2 years. However, you can see by his raw arm strength why he was looked at as more of a J Winston-type pass first athletic QB, than a true dual-threat.
I say potential difference because we don't know much about Haskins other than what the recruiting services and media say about him and what the highlights look like, being that he is out of state. But he looks like he isn't as rough around the edges as Harris was coming out.

Haven't read the rest of the thread yet, but Coach Brew knows what he's talking about. So i'll just stop you there.

Thanks for the info.
I guess I'm saying, I like the things I'm reading about Scott, maybe sometimes we should grab what is right in front of us. When I look back over the years in recruiting (and this is going fairly way back) I remember that I thought LSU should've recruited Sean Cangelosi who was a local WR w/ not great measurables, but just a good football player, and a guy named Jimmy Williams (I think was his name) who was another high-character kid who I think wound up at Vandy. Yeah, all things being equal we want the guys who run 4.3, bench press 500 lbs, etc., but I do think we need a healthy dose of the kids who will stick around 4 yrs., and contribute (Foster Moreau?)

NOLA - LSU, Tulane and other in-state programs will regret letting Zachary's Lindsey Scott leave for Syracuse.
This one thing right here is what sets Scott above all of the rest.
"What Scott Jr. may lack in height, he more than makes up for with an uncanny ability to make plays, lead a team, and dissect defenses with the wealth of knowledge he has gained through unrivaled hours put into studying the position."

I am NOT calling his ability into question. He has legit FBS offers, and from his stats, he is obviously the best QB in the state of LA this year. That may not make him a top Power 5 prospect, and I say that based on his current offer sheet, but that doesn't mean he isn't any good.
Doug Flutie was 2 inches shorter than Scott - First Heisman Trophy in Boston College history. By the end of his collegiate career, Flutie had set all-time NCAA Division I-A records (since broken) for passing yards and total yards of offense.
"Aware that his 5-foot 9-inch (1.75-metre) height" would prevent him from being considered a suitable candidate to play in the National Football League (NFL), Flutie signed a contract with the New Jersey Generals of the upstart United States Football League (USFL) instead.

It probably does make more sense to just take him than go chasing again.
but pursuing Scott doesn't stop LSU or hinder LSU from signing other QB's. I just don't understand why people in this thread keep saying that. I can't see how,(if we were somehow able to secure a commitment from Scott) that that would stop any other QB recruit from signing with LSU or stop LSU from pursuing other prospects.
So what if we would have 6 QB's on scholarship. Of the 4 that are currently on scholarship, none of the 4 might work out for us: Jennings (2014), Harris (might get better but who knows), and Eitling (couldn't start at Penn St.), and 1 is a project (McMillon).
So we need bodies at QB just to increase our odds of hitting on one. Scott seems the best bet in-state this year. The odds of signing some highly rated out of state prospect seems slim at this time. Maybe sign Scott (if he'll come) and another long shot QB prospect from somewhere (just to double our odds).
What was that Syracuse QB, a 5th string walk-on? If we could just even get someone like that it would be an improvement to our QB situation. We need to keep bringing them in until we hit on somebody, then let attrition and processing take care of the excess.

This is what we need. A guy with talent who has been looked down upon with a chip on his shoulder and a work ethic with the competitive drive to do what is necessary to be great.
