Yeah, Cronin has basically said he wants him to red shirt but it's ultimately Morman's decision. Personally I don't want him to but that's me just being a fan and wanting to see him play right now.

I personally Love redshirting players. Especially when they are only going to get 5-10 minutes a game if that. Could he contribute this year? sure he could. But in the long run I see a redshirt benefiting him and the team a lot more

Would Morman's possible redshirt be due to injury or lack of opportunity? I thought leading up to the season he was considered to be one of the most ready to play D-1 defense guys.

Both. He's in the same position as JaQuon was back in the day. Why risk aggravating a groin injury for 5 minutes a game?

If Cronin wants him to red shirt I would say we better red shirt him. I don't think he would make that recommendation to DM without evaluating all possible scenarios.

Any news on if he has?

Nope, each day that passes without him playing makes it more likely though.

I can't imagine someone wanting to actually red-shirt so that must be a really hard decision for him to make, but playing behind SK, JD3, and sanders this year would negate him to few minutes. If he does red shirt that shows me a lot out of this kid because it is hard for someone who has worked so hard there whole life to sit out a year and wait, but you are going to be that much better of a player by your senior year if you do sit out. I honestly think he is better than a lot of our players right now, but Cronin feels obligated to play those players because they have put so much time in to the program he would feel bad for sitting them. Morman is a really good player now, I could see him possibly starting next year.

It looks like he has. On Instagram he said game day today wish I could be out there with my brothers.

So I am assuming he has been redshirted

Or he could just be talking about being injured. No doubt it would be a difficult decision to redshirt as an 18 year old kid. Hopefully Sean is counselling him on it; I don't think there's any doubt he has benefitted by sitting out his first year.
