    Meh. You're not really helping your argument here. Fournette gained 1000 yards last year, but he didn't stand out. How many more games would LSU have lost without him?

    This year, Fournette is a completely different player. (And no, i don't think he'd be a lesser player today coming off a RS season.)

    Water is wet, and redshirting helps players get better. That's why teams do it.

    I'm with you on reshirting in general, but Fournette's gone after next year. Redshirting him to get only two seasons out of him would have been nuts. He's in the Reggie Williams category of play him while you can.

    Sure. Fournette's awesome. And early exits are gonna happen a small percentage of the time. But the odds favor a strong presumption in favor of RS-ing.

    Hi. Get familiar with the fifth year transfer rule. It's removed most of the incentive to redshirt guys.
