Lindsey scott seems to be the player that we wished

We'll know in about 3 years. I'll say this though, for being an 18 year kid, he sure does speak and carry himself very well. It seems to come naturally. To me, that's special

He's the best QB prospect in the nation. Thank God we got turned down by the others.

Considering how crappy our coaches have done with there QB picks this decade it is encouraging that we didn't get our top wants.

I saw LS play once this year and after talking and hearing more about the kids mind/conference/style I am now legitimately excited to see him on the field.

In many ways including size he reminds me of former Clemson QB Tahj Boyd, and he had a really good college career for a 6ft QB. We all remember the peach bowl right.

LS is in the mold of QB's that LSU usually flourishes with.

Hopefully having him get to redshirt and slowly come along will pay big dividends

If the only reason He wasnt made a bigger priority by other schools was size, then we lucked out and they f'd up.

If he was 6ft 2", He would have been a top 10 recruit, lsu would have had him #1 on their list, they would have made him a recruiting priority and got him. Everyone would be excited and saying how the coached did a good job. (just like b. harris)

Not comparing players here but the situation seems very similar to bridgewater. Hopefully he ends up as good as teddy did for louisville

I like that comparison, the mental side of the game is so important and is ALWAYS overlooked by the services, why? You can't quantify it, can't see it from highlights, but its the most important aspect of a QBs game. This kid has it all, leadership, cool under pressure, football IQ, pocket awareness, ability to process ALOT of info instantly. This kids dad had him knowing difference between zone or man before he was 10... He will have 2 years to learn, I think we will have a good QB competition after Harris/Etling leave. I can't wait to watch this kid

2 questions though.

1) Can he or has he ever played under center which is what we do in this offense more than not. 3, 5 and 7 step drops. Big difference than playing out of the shotgun every play which is how Harris came in I believe. He completely has had to learn that.

2) When you hand the ball off out of the shotgun is the RB still the same distance from the line of scrimmage as he is when he gets the ball out of the I formation? Just a question I was wondering about not really having paid attention to that before I guess.
