Wondering about thoughts from more experienced/successful players about this. Good/bad/mixed? Seems like better players use redshirt pretty liberally, I have enough trouble getting minutes for everybody the way it is, may be a way to step up my game

Some sophomores will take it without a work ethic hit but not all. Juniors take a massive we hit and seniors drop to 1.

So, does it turn out being worth doing?

I redshirt sophomores almost every season. Because i offer the kid starts and minutes his freshman year, telling him how great he is. Only to sit his *** on the bench for the whole year the following season haha.

But sure it's worth it. I don't redshirt anybody that loses WE. So it's always worth it. The only case where i would redshirt players that lose WE is the senior thing. They drop to 1 WE. But.... if the reasons are beneficial, why not?

If you have one senior that's a PG, and you have 4 solid JRs (SG, SF, PF, C) and next season you can make a title run.... redshirt that senior PG with a quickness. He'll have A+ IQ all of next season, and you're on your way to title contention.

I red shirt sophmores as often as freshman. Added benefit is you get to see what their potentials are after a year of gains.

I don't understand what you mean about potentials. Potential is shown as early as when you're scouting the player. Can you explain a lil more what you meant? (I'm guessing you meant if categories are green, by the end of redshirt sophomore season, they've all turned blue at that point... maybe?)

Yea that's basically it.
