One interesting takeaway: the FB and BB team leadership have different outlooks regarding redshirting. Is there no talk about simply playing guys in anticipation of "5 in 5?" Or does just apply to FB...different redshirt rules, less depth and a greater sense of urgency to win this year?

Great stuff! I think the biggest takeaway for me is that Kropp is ready enough and the wings are big enough that NU can afford to redshirt Bennerman, which might be the right call.

“Over the last couple years, I have had to be the coach and I’ve also been involved with contract negotiations, and that’s a tough thing. So, I want to be the coach, not the GM… To have Christian in place to talk to these agents and go through the money aspect has been a big help.”

Interesting. I wouldn't want to have to coach the kids while I'm having money fights with their agents.
