Redshirt for Henry

[00Husker]

Coach Pelini confirmed that Henry is set for a redshirt

“We'd like to red shirt him,” Pelini said, “but he's ready to go. We have experience there (at the guard positions), so we can hold off on playing him.”

I was hoping for more playing time for him. I love the motor and how he pushes his teammates with his intensity. We need that.

Do you feel this was a decision based on luxury...we already have enough depth and talent? Or, is he just not ready due to lack of knowledge of the offense? Either way, is it possible to make up for execution with intesity?

I think it's because we already have enough depth at that position. Might as well save him for when some of our seniors leave after this season is over.

Makes sense to redshirt him...

I would agree with you Michael because we have I think 3 seniors on the line right now so having him redshirt is a smart idea to do.

Although that would lump Henry in the same class as the sophomore O-linemen. Of which there are many...

This is an impressive move by Pelini. It shows that he is not just thinking of the here and now but also has in view roster management over time and the notion of a long sustained rebuilding process. This is good. Callahan had only here and now in view and the penalty for that narrow thinking will be felt by NU now --- burned redshirts by the dozen, etc.
