But the only redshirting that's gonna break up having 5 freshman obviously would have to be one of the freshman redshirting. The only position where we have depth that looks like a frosh isn't needed, it's who is projected to be our best player who is the only candidate. I think, nobody will be redshirted and Stephene will see clean up duty and Ohmerson will take a significant hit in minutes.
I just don't think it's realistic for 12 guys to get playing time, and it would be smart for someone to redshirt.

And yes, Curry is still the main guy in the backcourt.Nobody is saying the new guys aren't gonna play. We know they are, but someone out of the 12 isn't going to play and more than likely 2-3 won't see time.

paradox wrote:And in your mind, it's "logical" to redshirt Curry???no, let's use a little big of educated reasoning here. That position is stacked, there's 2 freshman and you can't RS Stephene. So all that's left is Curry. But I know we're not gonna do that.

But I know we're not gonna do that.Your reasoning doesn't allow for verstatility in terms of position. There will be many combinations used by coach McKay as far as the perimeter players is concerned. Many 3 sometimes 4 or even 5 perimeters at a time. In my opinion if you only have 12 guys that can play, no one will redshirt. Now if you have 2 or 3 walkons that you can count on, then they might put one of the freshman on the shelf.

paradox wrote:You said that redshirting Curry would be logical. Illogical is more like it.You're being dumb again. If you read his reasoning, you'd see that his year plus position makes it logical but his talent shows that he's not going to be redshirted. Read. It's not hard.
