If Brown signs with LSU & does not qualify, he has to go JUCO for 2 years. If he is a partial qualifier & signs with LSU, it's not clear. I've heard different things. Some have said that the problem is with his core grades, which you cannot go to Hargrave/back to HS for. Others say he still could (like Benton). If he is a partial qualifier but signs with Southern Miss, he only has to sit out one year apparently.
And they have short QBs that are successful as well, but all things being equal you'd prefer a taller guy at certain positions.
Of course, that's why they say that bigger is better. It's funny cause things are never equal, especially when a WR matches up against a DB...If all things were equal we'd have a 6'4 corner covering a 6'4 receiver.
