[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 173127, member: 2299"] In theory yes. In reality things can go wrong, or really well, and make the 5th year never happen or not be worth the redshirt year. If a guy is really good he might leave early and so the redshirt is a negative. Unfortunately the other extreme is also true. Sometimes guys just don't contribute even as 5th year seniors. Be it due to injury, transfer, or even just not being good enough. I'd say that in most cases if a RS senior isn't a starter, then it probably would have been better to not redshirt them in hindsight. Obviously its something you can't really see ahead of time, but it's a situation you have to be aware of. I think sometimes it would be good idea to play freshman who might have been reaches, and don't expect to be needed as a soph, and give yourself a year to evaluate them do determine if using a redshirt would be worthwhile. If it will, then you redshirt them as a soph and don't really lose anything. [/QUOTE]
