Yeah it is pretty awesome, because once the starters leave a lot of their back ups will have already had a lot of playing time and they can slide right back in there and keep things going. I couldn't give you a good number on how many kids get red shirted each year, but look at this way. Pelini red shirted most of his 1st recruiting class which was right around 20 guys. Generally, unless you have a Freshman who is an absolute standout, most of the incoming Freshman will get red shirted. This, of course, isn't counting medical red shirts or things of the nature.

gamecocks Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I don't think we will have quite a many redshirts as last year, however, about 15 to 18 will be about the number we see redshirted. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Who is going to play? Aside from -perhaps- the JUCOS. I think redshirting breeds more redshirting. The redshirt freshman class is already very large. It only adds to it if a significant number of true freshmen play. Granted I may be wrong and we have a lot of players who will demand time. But I'm not sure I see that happening... Quote Link to comment

But I'm not sure I see that happening... They redshirted approx 50 players last year with the walkons - This year it's supposed to be around 35-40 with the walkons. Thus will benifiy us in the long run. Quote Link to comment
gobigredkent Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I hope fewer players redshirt this year. Hopefully due to the fact that they're too good to sit instead of injuries or lack of depth. Quote Link to comment
