quote:A red-shirt program can narrow the talent gap through developing players with potential, but are not ready to make an immediate impact (hence being 2 and 3 star athletes) while keeping a veteran upper classmen team on the field. i agree with this. that is why it is important to sign your 2 and 3 stars because it can really impact them later down the road. Also, it helps gives them a better chance of staying 4 years than jumping the ship early. It is difficult to bring in a stud secondary class every year with Juniors going pro, which is why it is good to have former redshirt players ready to jump in and fill the hole

I mean when a team like LSU loses to Clemson, one can assume all those LSU players one game away from turning pro at 20 and 21 might be outplayed by a bunch of 23 year olds.

Yea, LSU lost to Clemson because the guys that went pro got punked all game. The loss had nothing to do with LSU's 50 total yards on offense.
