Kid has to be a redshirt. If the depth at WR weren't as bad as it is, that'd be a no-brainer
How is it a no-brainer to redshirt one of your most gifted athletes physically and ability-wise? I would imagine if he is showing he can compete for PT in fall camp, you let him compete/play. If not (highly doubtful), sure, go ahead and redshirt. Even if the WR depth was better, Mullins could potentially make an impact on either side of the ball and lets not forget about special teams. I see no reason to RS him, other than the fact that he hasnt played in a year and half. From what he showed at the UA game/practices, that didnt seem to be a problem
Why would you redshirt anyone that is suppose to be that good. He has to put in 3 years, either 1 shirt and 2 playing or 3 playing. Then gone..
did you read my post? I'm arguing against redshirting him. Not sure how you got anything else from that.
The whole not playing his senior year and not being in for Spring camp thing is my point. If ever there were a candidate for a redshirt season, it's the guy who misses his entire senior year and doesn't arrive until August. I mean, he hasn't even been here for the Summer 7 on 7 work, at least I don't believe he has. Lack of depth has pushed Miami to play guys as freshman in recent years, particularly under Golden, who really could've benefited from a redshirt. Obviously, there is a significant lack of depth at the WR spot, so the redshirt might not be an option. It seems, given he hasn't even played H.S. ball in over a year, that expecting Mullins to come in and be a regular contributor from day 1 is unrealistic. Hopefully, he isn't forced into the lineup do to lack of depth.
Now if he's able to come in after sitting out that long and not arriving on campus until August, and he picks everything up day 1, and is ready to play, of course you play him. Just seems highly unlikely to me.
