The question is how deep do you plan to you go with playing time. Personally, I think 8 is enough. You get down to using 9-10 guys and some flow is lost...not to mention you cut your better players time. JC definitely has enough bodies without those frosh contributing much. So, why not red shirt a couple of 'em?
I don't disagree with you. However, Wadley played in the first game...burning his redshirt (I think). So why didn't he play in a game where all the bigs fouled out.
