Just because a position change is what you and a few others on the board predicted for him doesn't mean that's how it would have worked out.  When Scott committed,  a Louisiana based high school recruiting analyst was [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/index.ssf/2015/10/lindsey_scott_syracuse_football_quarterback.html']practically despondent[/URL] about local programs LSU / Tulane not pursuing him, despite his height.  His perspective on Scott's potential at QB obviously differs from what you're suggesting.

I can accept that Scott might not be a good system fit, but I don't accept at face value that he wouldn't have panned out at QB just because he was shorter than other guys playing the position.

I'm excited for Culpepper, too, and love the kid's offer list.  Hope he is a worthy successor to Dungey.

But just because Scott was shorter and not a legit NFL QB prospect doesn't mean that he wouldn't be able to play there at the collegiate level, or that he'd switch positions.  Kid seems to have rare attributes; height is the only limitation, and it is one that can be overcome.  Not suggesting that he is guaranteed to succeed, or play QB at LSU, but I wouldn't bet against him.  I think he might have the rare "it" factor.

Doesn't really matter, as he's not coming here now, and he'll likely end up at LSU.  Will be interesting to see how his career unfolds.
