Burning Redshirts

[dorkmeister]

How would you feel if we come out against UF and use a bunch of Fr? Do you think we should keep the RS on the players(I really think a couple should be playing) or save them a year?

I think a couple of the Fr in the rotation could have helped us win against So Miss but, is it worth it now? With that loss, I think the best we will do is 6 wins and that may not happen. I want to win every games even if it is only 5 but at what point is it unethical to burn a kids redshirt if we are only going to win 5?

I don't think that Freshmen are going to make the difference at Florida anyways.

Who should be playing?

Not a great idea unless you're absolutely convinced they could make a difference in the game.

By year 4 we shouldn't be burning any redshirts unless they have outstanding talent that blows away all others competing for the same spot.

I don't follow recruiting all that much, so I don't know if we have a bunch of great true freshmen in the mix. However, if a lot of true freshmen start playing this week or later in the season it's a sign that Stoops is pressing and feels like his job is in trouble. To me anyways. Could be that the freshmen are just the better players of course.
