I made no promises to anybody, nor did I warn any of redshirt. I want to redshirt someone - ANYONE. Goal is to be the best team this season the team can be.

Vandoren was already redshirted. Low WE loser actually got worse over the off-season.

Without being able to see potentials it's a little harder, but I'd look at Melanson or Collins, in that order.

Melanson won't be missed much this year, and could use a year of growth.

Collins might be your starting SF this season, depending on your strategy, or he might be on the pine. If the latter, I'd look at him too.

If there is a clear-cut answer, I’d try to redshirt the guy who will definitely be the most impactful player in a potential fifth season first. You would need to look at potentials and project out in order to determine that.

If relatively equal, the tiebreaker would be for a distributing type player, ie high pass, lower distribution. If you have a PG prospect with good potential, the distributing PGs are excellent candidates for redshirt, because their skills coupled with 5th year IQs really increase the whole team’s offensive performance.

It kinda sucks not having a clear-cut choice.

I'm considering starting Ogburn at SF, with Collins as the backup, but then Allender gets pissy as he is a soph who will get no minutes..

If I redshirt Allender, just as a way to improve his DE and IQ before he gets meaningful minutes, his WE will take a shot AND Vandoren will ride the pine as Seavey probably plays ahead of him and is Vandoren's crappy WE will not rise. However, Allender might get angry about being a soph redshirt.

Melanson would be a good choice, but I think that means Collins starts at SF then and Allender backs him up. Vandoren then gets no minutes and crappy WE stays the same. I know if he does play his 13 minutes a game the WE improvement might be 3 or so.

If I redshirt Seavey, then everyone is probably happy except Allender who will get few minutes with his crappy DE, but his IQ might reach A-/A- as a soph as his WE is 93 and IQs are currently B-/B-.

Leaning towards trying to redshirt Seavey, he has F/F in our offense and defense anyway.

Seavey did not take it well thinking of who to try next

Final update, for those who care.

Allender rejected redshirt (not surprising as he is a soph)

Collins accepted the redshirt.
