Yes, but I think this staff will RS fewer guys going forward. Did redshirting McKinney help us? We won't get his 5th year and almost didn't get his 4th. And I think Mullen sees that if a guy is likely not to stay 5 years, you might as well let him play early.

I'm not sure Beni or Richie are sure-fire guys to be gone after 4 years. I think Green is. Guys with his size and athletic ability just don't stay for their RS senior year.

Same with RBs. The really good ones won't stay 5 years because they're trying to reduce wear and tear, even if they aren't a high draft pick. We didn't RS Shumpert and probably won't RS Williams, despite little benefit from playing them their true freshman year.
