On my D3 Roanoke team, I have 4 big guys (PF, C). They are all jrs and srs, so I decided I'd redshirt one of my juniors. Can my team be effective with only three big guys playing?

sure - more so if the players you have are high in stamina, you run normal or slow tempo, and you don't FCP. Maybe still if you FCP, but they will get tired.

The problem that you're going to run into is that you run fcp, and so they are going to get tired. It's definitely good that all three have strong stamina. I'd guess that you'll need a sf to play a handful of minutes a game as the #3 pf.

Why would you RS a big man when you have 4 SGs including 2 freshmen?

I think using 3 big men doesn't hurt your team nearly as much as only having 3 guards.

If I thought I had a chance at a title I wouldn't mess around with something that could stop me from winning.

If Starkes is the one you're going to redshirt, you could probably pull it off. I'm with Mason though, if you think you have a legitimate shot at a title (and your team looks pretty capable of winning one), I don't think I'd mess around with it too much.

It is Starkes I'm redshirting. I'm still kinda new at this so I'm not really sure how good a title-worth d3 team is. I thought my team last year was Final Four caliber, and we only made it to the sweet sixteen. If I thought this could be a National Championship contender, I don't think I'd redshirt Starkes.

FWIW, Tkimble is one of my favorite guys to compete against...I skirted him last season (I'm at D2 Armstrong Atlantic State, he's at D3 Roanoke in Tarkanian) but we have somewhat of a friendly, budding rivalry, with a lot of mutual respect. I really think you'll do very well again in D3 though, regardless of our result. Buena Suerte.

You might need to play one of your SF's at Power Forward and use one of your 4 shooting guards at Small Forward.

I have a SF playing backup at the 4 for one of my DII teams. Have done it in the past too with success.
