Yeah, I figured as much. He actually has the best game of the freshmen right now. He's just too athletic to have him sitting on the bench. He's also bulked up a bit since the high school season, but he's still pretty skinny. He has got a good 4-5 months to put on some muscle. He could be a match-up nightmare in the CAA with his skill set.
I speculate that Reco will not red shirt and actually push Burgess to become a more consistent player and possibly challenge him for playing time. The coaches and the practice performance of the players will determine who if anyone will red shirt. The team looks good on paper, time will tell how good we will be.

I really don't like to speculate about redshirting this early - just way too premature at this point in time. That said, I doubt Reco will be redshirted for several reasons. First of all he is a "freak" athlete with size for his position. The three is also a position where we are not particularly deep and Brad needs to be pushed some. It is difficult at best to convince a highly rated recruit who had High-Major offers to redshirt at the Mid-Major level. Not impossible mind you, but difficult.
The best way to approach the situation is to let the kids make the discovery themselves. This is not possible until you get to structured practices and scrimmages with refs. The learning curve will then surface pretty quickly.
