International Man of Mystery
First off, this is all "what if" for me. I don't think they're going to 'shirt Green next year if they don't 'shirt him this year.If he is good enough to be at least the #2 this year and they didn't RS, why would he be happy that they don't let him compete and earn the playing time next season? Besides it is about winning games, Cody gives the best shot to win if, knocks on wood, Lee goes down. If that holds true next season then why would the coaches take away what gives them the best chance to win?
The idea would be that we use him now when wh have little depth, out of necessity. Next year when you have a (presumably) better LTrav and a (hopefully) healthy Spano, that's when you sit Green to give him more time to mature.
That's what I'm talking about.
However, I think you're definitely right in that Green gives us a better chance to win from here on out if ZLee goes down, so the odds of redshirting him are almost nil at this point.
