Zach Lee: Chances that He Takes the Helm as QB, NOT JUST THIS YEAR

So, Zach Lee is a Baseball Badarse.
If he forgoes a million dollars from the MLB to come to LSU, I assume he will be eager to develop his baseball skills.
So, why are people on this site hoping he comes in to play QB for the Tigers? Could he develop into a great QB while spending his spring with the baseball team? If he started at QB while playing baseball, that would be awesome. Is he just that good? Fill me in.
ETA: Title CAPSLOCK addendum. Of course we don't want/expect him to start this year over Junior QB JJ. That was not what I was talking about. The Rant is a broken record.

He is really good. Saw him play in person. Time will tell. Not sure about baseball. I hear he is a beast in baseball.

Its been done before. Kyle Parker at Clemson, John Elway comes to mind as well; but knowing Les Miles insistence on playing upperclassmen I would hate to even imagine how badly JJ and JL would have to play to put a freshman on the field. Z Lee would have to know that he's sitting for at least two years before even getting a shot at playing time. With that baseball money out there its a real longshot that he'll ever play QB.

Next season? 0%.

-.99 percent chance he sees a snap in a scrimmage much less a game. If perriloux wasn't good enough for mop up duty his rs fresh year then there's no hope for Zack. TC Mcartney might get the nod over him.

As good as he is at baseball, why even risk getting hurt in football?

Well, I'm not really talking about next year. Like stated by above poster, that is like 0.1% chance of starting next year.
What I am saying is why do football fans think this kid is going to come in and make a major contribution at QB, at anytime? If he comes in and does well at Pitcher (Ace, most likely), and leads the Tigers to major victories at QB, well he would be like the greatest thing since sliced bread. Is this what people expect of him?
ETA: Maybe I'm just misinterpreting some of the comments on the recruiting board.

I think he is a waste of time for Football. He will concentrate on bball and that leaves way too little time to be a starting SEC QB.
So if he sits 2 years, then gets a shot the 3rd year, thats when he is eligible to go pro, and HE IS GOING TO GO PRO in bball, and that leaves the football team scrambling to find a new qb.
I don't understand him coming to LSU and trying both unless he is football first. We could be developing other recruits that we may miss on because he is here.
Love the story, hate the reality.

He is on a football scholarship and we have crappy QB play the past two years. We need some hope for the future.

If Jones and Mitchell are any indication of Miles' policy, Lee will have to participate in spring practice and miss about 6 weeks of baseball. Mitchell got out of spring practice his last year when it was decided he would opt for baseball.

I respect your opinion LSUSaint, but I am sure Zach does not think it is a waste of time. If he did, why would he be showing up at LSU at all?

I think Zach Lee gets drafted, goes pro and plays for four or five years then comes back to a school to play QB a la Matt Mauck, Chris Winkie.
If he were to come to LSU though, I don't think he would be the ACE starting pitcher or starting QB right away. That would give him time to develop as a QB or pitcher and let both coaching staffs figure out who needs him more and let him figure out which one he wants to concentrate on more.
For the immediate future though, JJ is your QB.

Been focusing on baseball lately, so haven't thought about this and had vomit rise to the back of my mouth since the spring game. . .
Thanks for the reminder . . .

Since he would be on a football scholly, Miles would require him to pay more attention to football the first couple of years. He did this with both Jones and Mitchell.
Miles and Mainieri may get along, but Miles isn't about to use a scholly on a guy so he can be an ace LSU baseball pitcher.

Hopefully, zero.
Zach taking over means we are in deep do-do, I would think.

Cause he is an 18 year old KID who thinks SEC bball or Fball is as easy as it was in high school probably. I do not think HE thinks it is a waste of time, but I think he thinks like most 18 y olds with a sack full of testosterone that he can do it all.
I do not know what his first love is, but if it is football and he wants to be qb, he has to completely give up baseball till after our spring game.
Bottom line, he thinks he can play both here. Chad Jones was all world safety and baseball out of high school, and he had to committ to football in the end. And he was a position player and safety, not the QB!
No doubt LSU wins if he steps foot on campus, either in fabll or Bball.

Based on the QB develop reputation of Miles/Crowton he probably should put a lot of emphasis on baseball.
