Even without Frankie our bench is light years better all around than last season. Red shirting in this case is a win-win if it is handled right. He practices with the team, travels with the team, bangs in practice with upperclassmen. He can be brought in if needed, but honestly if it comes to that, we are in trouble anyway because no option would provide a great solution for one of the 8 getting hurt at this point in the season.
Most really good teams are churning the tail of the roster, whether by choice, or surprise departure. Yes, Grant has THIRTEEN scholarships, but the odds of keeping 13 true studs happy with minutes and exposure is next to 0. Grant is working the system, and IMO to the betterment of both parties.
I would wager that the staff has had a real good look at Frankie by now and have his replacement candidates in mind, while hoping it does not come to that.
