If he is eligible and our last scholarship goes to a big I’d love for him to redshirt. Are they? Just because we’ve lacked depth for so long that we’ve been unable to redshirt players (more specifically bigs that can really benefit from the developmental year) doesn’t mean it can’t be utilized anymore. I know we all like to think every player that’s signed or wears a UConn Jersey is NBA bound but you can probably count on one hand the number of people on this board who’ve seen Javonte Brown Ferguson play in person. He is 17. 17. He can redshirt, play 4 years and still be younger than those in his graduating class. He’s described as extremely raw and a huge project. If he isn’t the perfect player to redshirt (if it’s feasible given the rest of the roster make up) then I don’t know who is. [/QUOTE]
