Chievous' situation is interesting, and I don't think we know all the detail. I think Chievous had an agreement coming in to redshirt his first year regardless if he could contribute or not. He was head and shoulders better than Richardson in the Rocky Top League this past year (I know it's the RTL), but he definitely looked like he could play as a Freshman. He was who I was most excited about seeing. Not seeing any minutes in the exhibition games is what tells me that he was never going to play this year. Could be wrong though.
