Imagine Pete's first year on Montlake if Sark was actually a head coach with some experience and knew how to run a program and actually manage his Red shirts properly. These guys would have to be a step up next year from this year with another year in the system. And. To much easier to break in a new coach with a large senior contributing class. When I look back, there was no reason any of these guys should have played. And would Collin Porter still be on the team if he didn't get beat up as a true frosh

Sean Parker

Princeton Fuimano (Would allow Shaq to play with senior Sean Parker, instead of Kevin I weigh 165lbs king)

There was a time, about mid season, where there was discussion of pulling the redshirt off of Jermaine Kelly. The talk came from Sark himself. He should have been kicked in the nuts on the spot for even mentioning it.
Stringfellow is the only true frosh I saw look well within his element as well as being needed. Kasen's absence called for him to get out there and it paid off.
Yes, I know Saban and Mora both did pretty well this year while playing a bunch of true frosh. But in general, if you're taking the redshirts off more than one or two kids per year, it says more about how you're developing your veterans than it does about how good your recruits are.
The value of fifth year seniors is obvious. It is only shortsightedness that fails to see it. On this age, only 1-2 players could be argued as necessary and those would be true freshmen skill positions, and even then sparingly.
I hope Petersen will RS this whole incoming class. We need to do it to remedy the shortsighted policies Sark has been using. The long term benefits are huge.
1. If he's the best option at that position
2. If he's so good that it's very likely he will jump to the NFL after his 3rd year (so play him for all 3 as opposed to 2). This usually is linked with #1
3. If injuries have decimated you at a position and the season is still of importance (for instance, if you're in a conference championship race then yes, break a redshirt if all your safeties are hurt...If you're 3-5...find someone else to play safety)
