TR,
I definetly did not say that schools did not have 5 year players. I am sorry if you misunderstood me.
One, two? I am not talkng about 4 year seniors, but 5th year seniors. What's the average on a roster, anyone know? I'd say top schools have max 2.
If one looks at at a roster and sees 5-6 redshirted freshman players, do not expect in 5 years to see those 5-6 as 5th year seniors.
Considering the original poster is not familiar with redshirting, it would be wise for him to do some research as to exactly what is implied.
