Title: Bill Walker on campus this week....
Post by: ScubaSteve on October 25, 2006, 03:25:06 PM
Folks, someone needs to explain to me why Bill Walker needs to enroll now to be eligible in December.  Also... once Bill Walker is a full-time student, what would stop him from becoming immediately eligible once the clearinghouse clears him?  How would it be any different than Carson Coffman?  Lots of unanswered questions here.

Are you saying he will definitely be on campus this week?

I'm guessing he has to be enrolled for the spring semester before he can play in December, and I'm guessing he can't be a full-time student until this semester is over.

My final guess:  Coffman became a fulltime student/scholarship player before the semester began.

It's my understanding that he is going to be enrolled in several mid-term classes.

If he is participating in mid-term classes right now, I don't see why he wouldn't be eligible for the first game.

It might depend on whether he can find enough mid-term classes that don't require prerequisites to be a full time student.  IIRC there weren't a ton of them available when I was at KSU.

Don't athletes have to be enrolled in 12 cr hrs?  I doubt he can get in 12 now and still do what he needs to do on the court.  While he is Bill Walker, he's not Bob Huggins.

I'm guessing he would need 6 hours and it would be considered a quarter.

Looks like he could take College Algebra and World Geography and get by.

they have late start classes that are only about a month and a half which is what I'm guessing he would have to do.  I got into a late start intro to accounting class once so I know they have them. Otherwise, I don't understand how he could go to class this semester. Actually, I have no idea whats going on.  All this stuff confuses the hell out of me.
