Curious on this one, Francis.. why is this even a thought for you/your player? If there has been any indication this may be the case, this becomes one of those instances when you should be describing the specific scenario (I don't mean the school) and asking direct specific questions, not general ones. And, of course, sometimes it's injury/recovery related.

Nothing specific. In another thread it was mentioned that it's somewhat rare for a freshman to play that much and that players and parents should level set their expectations around playing as a freshman. That thought then spring boarded this one...wondering, if freshman don't play that much as the norm, how often do coaches elect to redshirt freshman instead of having them eat a roster spot.
