Staley redshirting, official now.

[KurtRambis4]

Not really a surprise, I guess.

ETA: B. Hoyett, too.

Be interesting to see what this means for Fitz. There has been a lot of high praise for that guy ever since he got to campus.

I think showing up in December did wonders for his development. He's been on campus for 8+ months now. That's insane.

That new rule is going to benefit us big time. We just need to continue to get kids to graduate early.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Yeah I don't

think that there is any doubt that Fitz getting here early was one of the deciding factors of Staley RS'ing.

Aeries Williams is as well. Coaches gave him the choice to get a few snaps or redshirt and he chose to redshirt.

Good move on his part. Use the year to learn the playbook and get adjusted to college life, and be ready to contribute next year.

It's good for him, but not good for the number of RB's they have in the 2015 class.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Honestly,

I don't see what the down side is to RSing, really. I'd love to have the opportunity to get right 100%, physically, before I stepped onto the field. A whole year in the training room would be huge.

Alabama disagrees.

Free Master's Degree too.

That's how a school was able to convince a guy I graduated high school with to greyshirt. Told him to pay for one semester and he'd leave with a Master's. Solid ROI.

 

[121Josey]

Alabama disagrees.

Yep, who has 4 unclaimed NC's to MSU's 1.** But what about LSU?**

 

[Cherokee]

Win - Win situation. Team depth helped greatly. Player gets chance to develop and get ahead. Man, I'd beg for a red shirt if I were there.

 

[aTotal360]

It's good for us. He's going to be (already is) special.

Dak jr
Williams soph
Fitz fresh
Staley rs

This is nice set up

To me this says shump has progressed

 

[PBRME]

Shump should've made the same choice last year.

 

[121Josey]

Shump should've made the same choice last year.

Shump playing last year was about having experience for this year. His body would have arrived at a similar place on both routes. Holloway wasn't at RB, Griffin was a question mark, and Milton wasn't the answer. Can't wait to see some of that wishbone now.

 

[HughJazz]

Yeah I'm calling this my redshirt junior year. Ain't in no hurry
