Re: Lindsey Scott commits to LSU now transferring to EMCC

I hope Tulane has an opportunity to sign him...if not, the QB position is the least of my worries...we have a "LEFTY" in da house !!!!
I hope your gut is right but I feel he wants to go to the school with the 'biggest name/status'..... and that in this case would be mizzou with the mighty SEC affiliation.galvezwave wrote:I feel like he wants to pull the trigger on Tulane. I also feel he needs to turn off any and every outside influence for that to happen. It might be too much to overcome. Just my gut feeling in his situation.
He’s likely looking for a place to land where he’ll start right away. He’d be a backup at Tulane behind Banks.Dupergreenie wrote:I hope your gut is right but I feel he wants to go to the school with the 'biggest name/status'..... and that in this case would be mizzou with the mighty SEC affiliation.galvezwave wrote:I feel like he wants to pull the trigger on Tulane.

He already gave up the shot to START as a true freshman with Tulane to ride the bench for LSU.... If he really wanted to be at Tulane he would have announced it and would be an early signee.
He would likely be a back up here but he WILL be a back up at mizzou especially if their qb stays.tpstulane wrote:He’s likely looking for a place to land where he’ll start right away.

He could be hung up on banks, i agree with that. He didn't jump on the Missouri offer for that matter either.tpstulane wrote:He’s likely looking for a place to land where he’ll start right away.

I totally agree. I don't blame the kid for keeping his options open, but nor do I see going back to LSU as an opportunity for the young man. Canada wasn't there when he left, and the guy they're talking about as a possible replacement was. If he goes to LSU, Scott is probably looking at being a career back up, or scout team QB.Wavetime wrote:This kid must really be special in my opinion, because it seems like he's playing us.....again!

He has been special but I am over it. He obviously is looking for something else. We don't need anyone who doesn't want to be here 100%.Wavetime wrote:This kid must really be special in my opinion, because it seems like he's playing us.....again!

Totally agree. Scott is clearly hoping for a better offer (whatever that might be) to fall into his lap. While I'm not sold on Banks, primarily because he still seems to struggle seeing downfield, he will likely be our opening game starter next fall. I don't know much about McClain, but have high hopes for Christian Daniels who we just signed. If Scott had enthusiastically signed with us on the ESD, he might have had a chance of competing with Banks, but not so much now. I wouldn't be surprised if WF pulls the offer if some other opportunities still arise before the normal signing date.anEngineer wrote:He has been special but I am over it.

This sentence makes no sense whatsoever. What does the date of signing and level of enthusiasm when said signing occurs have to do with the signer's ability to compete?HoustonWave wrote: If Scott had enthusiastically signed with us on the ESD, he might have had a chance of competing with Banks, but not so much now.
It makes perfect sense. It first reflects Scott's attitude coming in if he does come here (first selection vs fall back), and two, it can drive the attitude that coaches and teammates have toward him. Both ultimately play a roll in whether he successfully competes with Banks. It doesn't mean he can't win the starting job, it just means it will be more difficult.ajcalhoun wrote:This sentence makes no sense whatsoever.

Nice article and it would appear the Lindsey Scott saga must end sometime in the next 10 days.golfnut69 wrote:as reported by nola.com

That's the deadline to enroll and make the first day of classes for Spring Semester. He could wait until the last day, in August, before Fall Semester classes begin. That would, of course, undermine his chances of playing. But there is no drop-dead deadline for JUCO signing.tpstulane wrote:Jan 15th deadline approaching Tulane pushing hard.

If he's better, and knows the offense as well as Banks does at the time, then it's a good problem to have. But Banks got a lot better by the end of the season than he was when his first season in the offense started. I'd imagine that improvement continues with spring and summer practice camps. So, again, IF Scott is better in the offense than Banks, than it's an upgrade. But I don't see Coach Fritz giving the job to Scott (or ANYONE) simply because he agreed to come here. Winning matters at Tulane these days, and we do measure success by wins and losses.Profoundwizard wrote:If Scott comes to Tulane I'd Be surprised if he didn't take the starting job from Banks when it's all said and done.

BTW: Having viewed that last play at SMU about a dozen times since it happened, I don't think it was a pass play as Coach Fritz claimed. Banks never got the ball near his shoulder or anywhere near ready to throw a pass on the play. But I still think he got into the end zone. That one angle that SMU released a few days later was far from straight down the goal line.
That's part of the good and bad of Banks. Coach Fritz has said several times that Banks' winning TD in the Army game should have been a hand off to Hilliard. The read was for Hilliard and he walks in the endzone untouched. Instead Banks kept it and took some really big shots on the way in... but he got in. I imagine he was thinking the same thing at SMU.DfromCT wrote:If he's better, and knows the offense as well as Banks does at the time, then it's a good problem to have.
