Huntley Redshirt

[KiYi-Ute]

Scrolled past a tweet last night that got me thinking. Can you imagine if we hadn’t burned Huntley’s redshirt for a few meaningless plays in 2016? Or if the 4 game redshirt rule had existed then?

We could’ve had Huntley for this year, and next year because of this year not counting towards eligibility. Really give Rising (and Costelli) time in the program. Then again, who knows if we land either one of those kids if Huntley has that much time left.

Hindsight is 20/20, obviously. Just something interesting to think about.

True. But if Huntley had another year of eligibility, there’s no guarantee that Rising comes here.

I think he would have left after last year anyway. Not that his draft stock was all that high (obviously) but with how much talent we lost, there’s no way he would have had a better year this year even if there was no pandemic.
