UL offers Billups preferred spot

_ Hey T, how many years of eligibility would Guy have if he walked on for 1 year? Sorry, if I missed that in another post. Does it depend if he practices with the team or game time? _

you have 5 years to play 4, no matter if you walk-on or are on scholarship
as a redshirt you can practice just cannot play.

Your eligibility clock once you enroll full-time in school. A grayshirt like Jake Molbert (and Rob Walker last year) enrolls in January and still has a redshirt available and five years to play four seasons. In this case, though, Billups has not been offered a grayshirt.

_ But if he does, than you have 2012 with a SR in Gautier, Jr in Broadway, 2 So in Hollingsworth and Brady and a RS Freshman in Billups.

My thought here is that Billups would have a good chance to be the starter by his Jr year. and all indications are that their is a good shot at Broadway recieving his waiver. If I were Billups I would choose UL.

Is the situation at Rice any better:

They have for 2011:

Incoming Freshman (highly touted) Grant Petersen
JR Taylor Cook played in 7 games in 2010
SR Nic Fauzzi played in 10 games in 2010
So Jordan Taylor
So Taylor Hchague plaed in 5 games in 2010
So Michael Poynter

So he would be at best coming in as a perferred walk on on a team with 6 QB's behind 3 guys who played in 2010 and 3 underclassmen and a starter with another year to play in Taylor Cook as well as a fairly highly touted Freshman. At least at UL he will be the only QB coming in as a Freshman. _

Just a correction - Broadway is a Sophmore with a redshirt year left. If he can't play this year (which I highly doubt) - he'll still be a sophmore next year.
