What is the story regarding the QB we signed last year, Delvin Williams (sp?)? From what I understood, he was suppose to be very special. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I saw Devon Williams watching practice on Wednesday. I take that to mean he is still in school.

Coach Bartel has done a lot for this program especially in helping recruit the Texas area. He will be missed. I wish him success and his family well.

This is turning into a Michael Southall story. Its time to forget about Devin Williams & move on. We have some great recruits coming in this year.

All I know is that he is not on the field, we have a juco on the field, and Babb on the field. Coach will invest in players that are at practice, not players that may be in academic jeporday every year. If Mr. Williams wants to stay here and be a quarterback, he had better show that he can keep his academic affairs in order.

Look, no one is counting on Williams & his not being eligible is probably not entirely his fault. He wasn't eligible when he came to UL, he was a prop. Why do you think everyone else recruiting him backed off? The staff & he took a chance that he could become eligible & it didn't work out. In retrospect, he probably should have taken the juco route. I don't know if he's capable of academic success or if he didn't try. I don't know him, but I hope things work out for the young man. For the present, Babb the starter, but some of the players have told me that Luke S. has a much better arm. It remains to be seen what type of a playmaker he is. He does have a year more experience. I only hope that there is honest competition for the spot, it will only make the team better.

I agree & he was well liked by the players for his personality & coaching knowledge. I wonder what his wife will be doing, as I understand she was valued employee at UL?

I talked to Coach Bartel at the recruiting party, he is a very nice man.

I have heard his ankle is not completly healed and is giving him trouble. It will be hard to judge his mobility if that is true. We need a qb who can run and pass, IMHO that is why Desmoreaux was recruited. We do have another JC qb coming in the fall that is suppose to walk-on. Like you, I like open competition, it only brings out the best in players.

You need to recruit at least one quarterback each year. It's such a critical position, you need two back-ups ready to go at all times.
