Stoops is a heck of a coach and we are lucky to have him.
At the Southeastern Conference Media Days, Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said he didn’t believe in redshirting. Kentkucy coach Mark Stoops has a different take and shared it at Media Day on Friday.
“After four days, I feel like there’s 12 or 13 guys that have a good chance of playing as freshmen. The other 12 or 13 for me or for us ‑‑ I’m not saying anything about what he does, but for us, it wouldn’t make a lot of sense for us to play them if they weren’t going to have an impact, where maybe five years down the road, they would have a big impact,” Stoops said.
“Some guys just physically need it, some guys are just coming off injury, things like that. The guys we redshirted a year ago, guys like Ramsey Meyers, he’s probably going to start at right guard. That was a good redshirt. He had time to get acclimated, get stronger. It really helped him. It really helped Regie Meant.
“I don’t ever have it where we’re definitely going to play a guy or definitely going to redshirt him. We’ll see how it works out.”
