I still believe painter will run a similar offense and will find somebody to replace Edey’s role. In the past couple of days there has been discussion that Jacobson’s dad Isn’t really that interested in his son having a long college career. Maybe Jacobson takes Edey’s role and TKR is forced back to the 4.
With the current portal and almost every player saying they plan to leave early, I see no real benefit of red shirting any player. The only benefit they will receive is they will have an extra year of eligibility when they transfer.
And in the era where coaches are now looking for a player to give up his scholarship for the good of the team, what’s the benefit of red shirting if the coach wants you to leave anyway. Look at Morton and Gillis. They basically knew their time at Purdue was over. Gillis redshirted basically so he’d end up having 1 year to play at Duke. Newman redshirted so he’d have a couple of extra years elsewhere.
And now posters are talking about wanting to add Sisley and Harrelson. In order for that to happen someone has to leave early. So what’s the point of redshirting?
