Any insight on our inbounds plays? CF loves some ******** about inbounds plays.
*Nobody at ISU. It happens at other schools more frequently than people think. Iowa just redshirted two guys last year. Baylor has had some success with it. If you think a guy is going to contribute for you in his career, I don’t see why a redshirt doesn’t make sense if somebody isn’t quite ready. I don’t even know why I’m making an argument though for it because I know how people view the redshirt debate.
Citing Iowa kinda hurts your case.
If a kid redshirts and decides to transfer later, as many do these days, they have wasted/lost a full year of eligibility. It ain't 1990 anymore. Redshirts are for more marginal players. He's already 20 years old, not sure he would be interested in sitting for a second year in his last four.
I thought the same thing about using Iowa as an example. Not exactly selling his point.
I'll also add that the kid has to agree to be redshirted. Often players are pretty darn sure that they are going to earn their spot to play and don't want to redshirt. And, as far as Iowa State is concerned, there have been a lot of early season injuries in the past several years which has caused players that might want to redshirt to be put into action.
If CJ Fedrick or Jack Nunge have a good year, maybe redshirting them worked. It’s too early to know. I wasn’t even alive in 1990 so I’m not sure that’s relevant here as how would I use the old days as a reference or example when I didnt know things were done that way back then? If Leech doesn’t want to redshirt than I don’t want him to be redshirted. I just think it’s strange how against it people are. If Leech doesn’t redshirt and then has 3 good years to follow it, I’m sure people will wish he had redshirted as a freshman so he’d have a 4th year to play. I think wasting the year of a talented player who probably isn’t ready to play in year 1 is just pointless. The NCAA should just come up with a new rule that if you redshirt a freshman and they end up transferring in the future, they can still sit out a year without losing a year of eligibility. That’s the biggest reason why nobody really redshirts anymore.Citing Iowa kinda hurts your case.

That’s a good point. I don’t think anyone is against Leech redshirting but I do think people are against the discussion of it because it’s super rare to redshirt players now and it’s probably a pointless debate because the odds of Leech redshirting are extremely low.Is anyone against it? I'd be happy if he redshirted. But I don't think he will. That doesn't mean I'm against it.

that was the last coach who actually ran plays
I honestly just forgot about how people viewed the topic before I made the original comment that Leech should redshirt. I think players view redshirting as a slap in the face that people don’t think they’re good enough to play right away. I need to be careful about how vocal I am about wanting Leech to redshirt because he follows me on Twitter and I don’t want to seem like I’m disrespecting his ability. I am personally a fan of redshirting for high upside freshman that probably won’t play in their first season but I know that everyone doesn’t have the same opinion on that and I respect that so I’ll do my best in the future to not bring it up as a conversation.Right. But why be mad because people don't want to discuss what they don't think is going to happen?

Well we might as well fire the coaches now and burn Hilton down,
You are more than welcome to go be a fan of the school he coaches at.
next coach will inherit a clean program with talent
its fine
it could be worse
for the record i think it was worth a try
