    How many of those players would have been better in their second year in the program had they spent their first year on the bench and not getting actual game experience?

    None.

    Yes, redshirting really seemed to set Lawyer Milloy back.
    You really think he would have been worse in 1993 had he played in 1992? And he left after 4 years.

    As good as he was is 1993, I bet if you ask him he will say he would have been even more prepared had he seen the field some in 1992.

    Reggie, Shaq, Asj, Sankey, Polk, all left early. Add Peters to the mix and it's clear to see the good guys aren't sticking around anyway. Butler and Shelton were the only guys who came back for their senior year who were supremely talented.

    Lotta twisting going on here. Ain't complicated. Redshirting hurts nobody. And it helps a lot of guys.

    No twisting at all. And you are correct it ain't complicated.

    I think you honestly think Baker did not help his development by playing last year. You sincerely believe that.

    Playing when you have the ability to contribute accelerates your development.

    The best players should play.

    Redshirting hurts your team when players leave without playing their redshirt senior seasons.

    I never really had an opinion on @RavennaDawg before now...

    Now I think 2 things:

    1) Ravenna is a nice neighborhood.
    2) @RavennaDawg is a serious butt-hurt presser.

    If you think Browning will play for UW in 2019, you think he and Peterman both suck.

    Hope this helps.

    I agree. Problem is, at UW anyway, this is nearly as rare as the true frosh who doesn't suck. Neither circumstance occurs frequently enough to outweigh the huge systemic benefits of routinely redshirting guys.

    Olin kruetz. Played quite a bit and sideline reporter bill Swartz would always comment " the freshman Kruetz is really moving people around". I asked Lester towns at picture day Before season " who is impressing you". He said " Olin Kruetz, when he gets a hold of you you're going down".
