I will disagree with this 100%, redshirting has its benefits, but it has definately hurt players. What happens when a kid redshirts, a couple guys get injured half way through the season and BAM, he gets his redshirt pulled? How do you feel when you're that athlete, now instead of having 4 years left to play, you only have 3 and you wasted an entire half a year.

Excellent point right there. Correct me if I am wrong but you can redshirt any year of college right? It doesn't have to be your first year correct?

i believe that is true, you can also use a medical redshirt too
This is some flawed logic here...it's not the redshirting that is hurting the player, it's the injuries to the other players. And, the player hasn't wasted an "entire half a year" as he still practices and works out with the team. I stand by my comment that redshirting has never hurt a player.Tu-Big wrote:paperboy wrote:Redshirting has never ever hurt an athlete. Period.

That was going to be my point I was trying to make. If you go to college your freshmen year and you feel like you won't get much playing time so you waste your redshirt year and your junior year blow out your knee, you can't redshirt. But now you say the medical redshirt how does that work? Can you redshirt say your freshmen year and then your sophomore year for medical reasons? Or do you get one or the other? Can someone help me out here. I'm confused as you can see, haha.
So, you're saying that the player, because he has chosen to redshirt, is being hurt simply because of that decision? That the injuries to the other players have no impact? This is not very logical as you cannot predict injuries to other players that will impact the decision to redshirt. I can see that you're not following this and I'm probably not explaining it very well, but I still do not see how redshirting (by itself, without the injuries to the other players) is not beneficial. Redshirting has never hurt a player.baller01 wrote:paperboy wrote:This is some flawed logic here...it's not the redshirting that is hurting the player, it's the injuries to the other players.

The injuries to the other players aren't hurting the redshirting player at all. That is a case where it would hurt IMO. And what tu-big means is you haven't wasted, but you could have been playing games too.
