To Redshirt or Not To Redshirt- That is the Question.

So, over the last couple of days at MocFans, the idea has been tossed around the Dante Harvey should redshirt.

This is an interesting idea. Clearly, Harvey has a lot of upside and a lot of potential. In fact, he was coming around at the end of last year, and many expected him to start this year. However, with the addition of McKeither, it is hard to know just how much he would play.

An injury like Harvey's is hard to recover from. It takes time. While he is expected to be back by mid-December, he may not be 100 percent for much longer than that.

The Mocs are ten deep at this point, or will be by mid-December. With Bell, Taylor, Odem, McKeither, Jefferson, Williams, Patterson, Early, Cage, and Saffore, the Mocs are very deep. How much would Harvey even play in this situation?

Harvey has talent. He should not waste it sitting on the bench. He should play at 100 percent.

Take the redshirt. Get perfectly healthy. Have three years where Harvey can develop into the star he has the potential to be.
