And, he's eligible to play right away.

If he's eligible to play right away I wonder if Royce White has a better chance at playing this year than some might think.

I don't think Royce has graduated and is entering graduate school...

Fourth sentence of the story:

"(Masoli) can play immediately under NCAA rules because he has earned his undergraduate degree and is enrolling in graduate school."

I don't know. It's just like skipping college ball and going to the NBA (or at least three years of college ball). Lots of kids are doing it

Ol' Nutt is stepping onto a bit of a slippery slope in two regards.

1. It's a complete FU to the current QBs (although the 2nd string guy just left I believe) 2. Placing a big bet on Masoli picking up the offense and excelling, otherwise you flush a year of learning experience down the tube for the young guys.

On the flip side, what does it hurt by letting him walk on and see what he can do. I wouldn't be surprised to see him starting by week 2 or 3 though.

At least he's not taking up a schollie.

I wonder what their reasoning is? The article doesn't mention it.

I did find Houston Nutt's quote funny, though, "We're in the people-helping business. I want to plead with that subcommittee. He's done nothing but what he's supposed to do."

Is that what you call it when you sign 30+ recruits when you only have 25 available scholarships? The only business Houston Nutt is in, is the Houston Nutt-helping business.

This. Nutt realizes the SEC West is going to be stacked and he doesn't have a QB.
