They evaluate players, they project players that become players. I know it’s just weight, but there were quite a few on here saying he’d need to redshirt to bulk up...that’s on it’s way to done. Now Rocker time!

Ollie Lane 300+. I think this guy could see some time this fall. He’s all in for UT and from everything we’ve heard from him he’s going to do whatever it takes to contribute. Love it

DWA is a big dude, 6’4-6’5, 257? I read an article where he said he lost bad weight then put back on all good weight. If he’s a solid 255-260 and as athletic as he is, this fall is going to be fun. Other Juco guys, Gooden and Allen, are both at a perfect weight to jump right in.

He’s one I would really love to redshirt, but his progress may not allow for it.

Edit: Forgot the new redshirt rules. NM

Especially considering our depth. He may not need to. Chance Hall did just fine playing freshman year and he had similar ranking and size. I don’t see too much harm in playing him at guard if he’s ready.

I always thought it was crap... you are in their for one game and now you can’t redshirt.

It will help with development for sure... those cupcakes can really help the development of your guys.

I think I'm definitely in the minority, but I'm not too wild about it. I understand what you're saying about being in one game and then you're screwed, but I feel 4 games is swinging the pendulum too far in the other direction.

Injuries or certain personal situations are a different matter. But being able to play every down for 1/3 of the season and maintain the flexibility to redshirt is a head-scratcher to me.

I think it’s great.

Better for the Players. Better for the Schools. Win-Win

Taking into consideration the amount of time and rehab that is involved if a kid is injured, giving him a third of a season to get bigger and stronger and get college reps is an awesome idea a long time coming. The third of the season used to be in calendar days. Now it's over the course of the season. What could be bad about this for the kid?

I love it, and it’s for a word you used, flexibility. Towards the end of every season you have kids fighting through injuries because their backup isn’t as good but the freshman might be but you don’t want to pull the shirt for 1/2 game or 2, secondly I think it gets freshmen more ready for the next season. Practice reps are fine but nothing like live action and getting ready for the speed of CFB.

Like I said, I realize I'm in the minority here. I'm probably overthinking it but I'll readily admit it's going to be interesting. On one hand, it's easy to envision coaches using more and more redshirts, but on the other hand, coaches are going to have to use great judgement and not allow their rosters to be bloated with kids that simply aren't quite good enough to be a starter in the SEC.

I'm thinking the 85 number is going to become even more important and will certainly provide a challenge to coaches to properly manage their rosters.

I can definitely see this side of it too.
