Snowflake Thread: QB Redshirts

Submitted by Geaux_Blue on
Let Speight mop up this year, RS next year, bust out year after?
RS Morris, allow him to compete with O'Korn next year with 2 years eligibility?

Interesting...

I don't think Speight is our guy going forward.

Gentry has everything Harbaugh wants in his QB. He's raw, sure, but he's big, can make all the throws, and he's mobile. And he's hand picked by Harbaugh himself. I think Gentry is our man either next year, or in next two years, depending on how good O'Korn is.

Word is that O'Korn is best QB in practice. Think about it, if Morris was really neck and neck with Rudock, why wouldn't they start him? 2 years with same starter vs starting over again next year with another QB. Morris will transfer.

It's a great move. Shane plays if he they need him to play. But if they don't need him, he only gains by getting a redshirt. Two more years instead of one, better opportunity for a grad transfer if he doesn't win the job for next year, there's zero downside for him. He will play if there's a situation where Rudock is out and he gets legit time, but not wasting eligibility on garbage time. Hail Harbaugh.

Question about redshirts in general: at some point in a season, does a program have to officially declare in someway that a player is being redshirted and will definitely not be playing at any point that season? Or can a program wait until the end of the season and then say whomever didn't play was a redshirt?
