Remember LSU’s QB Andrew Hatch who transferred from Harvard to LSU and then back to Harvard?

NYT Article: “And because Harvard did not count any of his L.S.U. credits, it made him a sophomore.” :P

Our weekly reminder that absent a bus accident, Scott is headed for massive pine time or another position at LSU. What a waste.

Yeah, he should have gone to his second choice, Maryland.

This thread keeps getting bumped but he was never that close to coming here once the P5 offers started rolling in.

Good chance that the same thing happens to Lowell Narcisse.

Here's the simple fact: The NFL WILL find you no matter what school you play at. However, the NFL WONT find you, if you don't play.

Word is the freshman had the job before he stepped on to campus. Narcisse is running designed qb runs only. I'm hearing a tranfer is imminent.

I agree. Some other posters are talking about the NFL, but Lindsay Scott had no shot at being an NFL QB due to his height as he was too short.

I'll rephrase:

If Lindsay Scott sets the NCAA record for passing efficiency; throws 379 passes without an interception; leads a P5 not known for winning to a top 25 ranking; transfers to another P5 and leads that P5 to a conference championship in his first and only year there; and outperforms every other quarterback at the NFL Combine in the 40, 3 cone drill, and 100 yard dash, he will be drafted around the 3rd round or so.

The long and short of it is that Wilson's situation is so far outside of the traditional parameters for QBs that it would be unreasonable to use him as an example of what a short QB can expect to achieve either in college or NFL, and the fact that he was still drafted in the third round after all of his extraordinary accomplishments is proof of that.

Plus, it's highly unlikely that Lindsey would have matched or exceeded any of those accomplishments, let alone multiple ones.

Except that leaving high school, Scotts performance, ranking, and offer list exceeded that of Russell Wilson. A commitment to a Maryland seemed to be in line with Wilson's commitment to NC State. He could have very well been on a similar path. Having left high school playing stiffer 5A Louisiana comp, who knows.

A long shot yes. But Scott had already exceeded Wilsons marks as high school player. A mid to low level power 5 would have been the best move. It would have increased the likelihood of playing time, and against P5 comp. Hes a RS fresh. The story may not be over.

No one is saying that Lindsey's Scott career is over by any means, but it is extremely unlikely that he will be drafted to the NFL as a QB due to his height. Russell Wilson is a great example of the barriers to entry into the draft for shorter QBs, as he was literally superhuman in college/NFL Combine but was still drafted relatively low.

As for recruiting rankings, a higher recruiting ranking doesn't guarantee that a player will outperform another player with a lower recruiting ranking, as many lower ranking players earn starting jobs over higher ranking players - Jonathan Banks at Kansas State and Corey Dauphine at Texas Tech are solid, Tulane relevant examples of this.

A great and accurate statement, that should frequently be used in recruiting. I've often wondered how many 3* recruits who play at Tulane get a shot at the NFL, versus 3* recruits who sign with SEC teams.
Tulane is the University of Louisiana

Sad. We all saw this coming. Ed Daniels also tried to get him to Tulane. He got schooled by those guys. He was signed just to keep him away from other schools. Sad stuff. Hope he finds a good place to land.

Is Lindsey Scott even in Tulane's pecking order? We have room for him, he must sit out a year with 3 to play, unless he goes to a Div II school. Time will tell.

yep...many times, that PEE stained schollie ain't all it is cracked up to be.... I had a LB in my class last year, he has about 25 offers, Fritz's son has been in contact with him...I told him to go where he can play and enjoy himself for 4 or 5 years...if they can find Jerry Rice in Itta Bena Mississippi it is right down the road from the big metropolis of Isola (I have been to both places), they can find talent anywhere !

We're any of these other kids transferring out of Red Shit interested in Tulane originally?

Tulane recruited him hard. He'd be a great fit here but I doubt he comes this late in the game. I would guess Southern or another SWAC school because all his classes would be accepted and he'd be able to play this year without sitting. He was never going to play at LSU that's why his decision to attend there was befuddling. They came on him late because the wanted to sign at least one QB in that class.

He may go FCS but I highly doubt he goes SWAC. He really should have come here.

Interesting that in Phil Steele's preseason football magazine he lists his Top 40 freshman QBs. Three of them are at Alabama. I would say there's a good chance at least two them will transfer at some point in their college career. So many kids go to the SEC because it's "The SEC" and don't move up the depth chart. You should go where you will get to play so you can develop and get exposure. The NFL will find you. You can play in North Dakota and become the best QB in the draft.

True competitors want to compete with the best. Every one of those believed in their ability to win the competition for the starting position.

I don't believe in recruiting a kid by telling him he's not good enough to make it elsewhere.

This. There are other ways to get the point across, such as telling a recruit that they have a good shot at starting during their true freshman year because either they are so talented or your program is so thin at the position that the recruit plays - hopefully, a combination of the two.

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 at the NFL than being a spot starter at a P5?
