And is there any way he could do both? Billings won’t sign a national letter of intent to attend UConn until November. In the meantime, who knows what kind of enticing football offers might come his way. Many FBS schools have been reluctant to get heavily involved, with the baseball intention made so clear, but Boston College has shown interest. UMass, too... ...“I don’t have much interest in doing both,” said Billings, whose father, Jeff, owns Billings Sports in Meriden and whose mother, Courtney, owns the Academy of Dance and Music in Wallingford. “I feel like I did my due diligence [with exploration of football opportunities], but in the end I landed back on baseball and what I wanted to do from the beginning. We’ll keep listening, but right now the plan is to go to UConn and play baseball.”<< [/QUOTE]
