Hi, just wondering if any of your kids did a redshirt year as a sophomore and how did that work out for them. My D has been given the option, it is not required but offered. The school said they would extend her $ for a 5th year if she chooses to do so. I contacted the coach to get some info for myself to make sure exactly what was going on and after getting her feedback I feel much better about it, however my D is on track to graduate in 4 years and is not super enthusiastic about having to go to school for a 5th year. I imagine after playing as a freshman (minimal time) that it would be very hard to do all the work and not ever get to suit up. Would appreciate any insight from those that have done so.
