[cajunhawk]

_ This kid was a 4 star QB out of high school. He was the 5th best dual threat QB and the 11th best player in Louisiana. _

Scout had him as a 3 star.

In limited duty he threw for a 75% completion percentage and threw 3 TD's and only 1 int in just 40 something attempts. He also ran for over 100 yds. in 11 or 12 carries. I say he did very well and in limited action he performed more like a 5 star.

Case Keenum was Houston's starting quarterback who was injured early in the season and is seeking a sixth year. The guy is one fo the best QB's in the country. Houston was expecting a breakout year and injuries sent them into a spiral much like the Cajuns.

Not sure what has led to Broadway's decision but I would suspect the rough year and the idea that Keenum could be coming back played a factor.

It may not be Keenum coming back as much as it would be Piland, who took over permanently for Keenum this year after Broadway got some limited action, being a freshman and seemingly in place to have that spot for the upcoming years.

[Gumbeaux]

Out of curiosity, anyone know why Piland was put in the last 8 games over Broadway?

[Parrott]

Based on history, it's unlikely that the NCAA grants Keenum a sixth year since he received a redshirt as a freshman for non-injury issues. (Kolb was a senior QB there in 2006. No reason to burn Keenum's first year.) Not that the NCAA ever shows much consistency in its rulings.

Piland played in a spread similar to what Houston runs at Southlake Carroll. That likely played a role in the coaches going with him in the final eight games. He had a solid year as a true freshman when given a chance.

From what I gathered in speaking with Broadway, he didn't feel like he got a fair shake from the coaches there. With he and Piland having the same amount of eligibilty left, his odds didn't look good to get another shot in Houston.
