re: Redshirting Garrett?

Good point. I would imagine that the schools would be relegated more scholarships to cover the 5 year span. This rule doesn't really help the guys who are 3 and done or the guys who are very likely to not contribute and ,as of now redshirt. This rule benefits the middle of those 2, which is most of your signing class in most cases. Those guys who could contribute, but we decide to redshirt who just leave after 3 or 4 years anyway.
Let's look at an example. Best example is Jerald Hawkins. This guy may be done after this year. He is a 2 year starter after his redshirt year. Could this guy not have contributed as a true freshman? Maybe he needed to get stronger and maybe he was very raw, but it seems a guy that can turn around and start after the redshirt year could have helped.
Dural is another one. We saw how little he contributed as a redshirt freshman so maybe he just wasn't ready, but he could have had 2 years of limited roles in the offense already coming into this year.
Maybe the logistics would be more complicated than I think, but it's a rule that benefits the players and the coaches IMO.

Good point on Hawkins ,but I believe Dural would have played as a true fr., but an injury in fall camp knocked him out.
Who knows about Garrett's abilities yet. Some people do need a year to adjust on gain weight or strength. Josh Downs came in ready to play while Brockers and Logan were red shirted from the same class. Davenport was in that class as well. Not saying Garrett will not play well when given the chance, Davenport obviously did not.

I don't think LSU is trying to "save" anybody. We don't do that anymore. I think it's clear that Garrett just isn't ready to contribute yet, whether that's physical, mental, emotional, educational, whatever.

Except for the fact that he was injured his freshman year.
