[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 769469, member: 2299"] I'm just going to answer this super pedantically. True freshman isn't really a classification but rather a distinction in a classification. So both Sims and Yates last year were classified as freshmen. We distinguished between the two as true vs redshirt to show that one was brand new and one was in the system. Going forward everyone will just keep whatever classification they had. So Sims and Yates will both still be freshman. I would suggest we refer to everyone that has been here before as redshirt regardless if they played last year or not. So Sims would be a redshirt freshman. He has the eligibility of a freshman, and has been on campus similar to that of a redshirt. Yates will also be a redshirt freshman for the same reasons and the distinction between 2 years of red shirt vs 1 doesn't really matter to me. The only thing with that is by calling Sims a redshirt freshman it implies that he can't redshirt again which he could, but I don't see that as being a practical problem outside of injuries beyond year where I could see some OL we had this year also redshirt next year.
