id like your class a lot better if you hadn't tried to steal james johnson from me and cost me all sorts of money :)

First thing I noticed was Joshua Smith's Work Ethic.  That 9 is going to really, really stunt his growth.

Yep, I will probably start him to get his WE up, probably won't go up too much but at least it's something.

Very good class. I would Play Joshua Smith aggressively, start him every game until CT time, play him 25min+ per game. Run Slowdown so he won't be too tired and hurt your team too much. Depending on how Batt's ath/spd develops, if he's at the high end of average (+20), he could be a low end D1 sf.

Yeah, Batts is going to be good. Congrats.

Yep, I plan on redshirting him, anyone think there is a better option for me to redshirt?

He probably won't start until Bembry leaves, and he might not reach full potential by his senior year (if he does not redshirt).

the problem with redshirting Batts is that he probably only gets ~25 points of improvement in a red-shirt year because of his work ethic.  better than nothing for sure, but depending on your needs (i haven't looked at the rest of your roster) I might look at Scaife or Strange as redshirt options
