You definitely could be right. I could also see where if a freshman doesn't look like he'll play a big role early on the coaches will believe they'll have an easier time convincing him to stay for year two if he's redshirted instead of riding the bench.

I agree with this, particularly if it was part of the pitch during the recruiting process. The key would be having a veteran coach in place with a proven winning record. And perhaps some former redshirts in from of him/them.

Currently, Hernandez and VCD seem to be the positive and negative to this argument. The plus is, with the 'free' year, VCD is a freshman again with some court experience.

Has anybody heard anything about off-season workouts/conditioning/open gyms.
