Unless he appeals and gets a bonus year like Lee did, he will only have three years of eligibility at an FBS school if he chooses one after sitting out 2017 under transfer requirement. (General rule is player has five years to complete four years of playing eligibility once he starts the clock which for Scott was last fall at LSU.)RobertM320 wrote:Lindsey Scott had a composite rating of .8410, a mid range 3 star. For comparison, Kahlil McClain, our true freshman was had a rating of .8330. Not a lot of difference. Its not a matter of whether they believe in their ability or not, they also have to be realistic. The odds are very long that you're going to win the job at a school that's constantly recruiting 4 and 5 star QBs like LSU does. And even if you do, you'll wait your turn so long that the benefit is lost.
If Scott had come to Tulane, he'd have been our starter last year, and we'd have gone bowling, I have no doubt. So lets look into the future. Three years from now, Scott finishes his Tulane career with maybe 4 winning seasons, 4 bowl appearances and some records while leading a Tulane resurgence. You don't think that gives him a better chance than being a spot starter at a P5?
However I'll assume that you are including Tulane's bowl game this up coming season too and that would be nice as well even if Scott is just an interested spectator.
For those who've forgotten just how good Scott can play in a Fritz type offense, just go rewatch some of his Zachary High highlights.
