How many of the guys who redshirted last year have played this year? I'm talking about meaningful playing time.

Odds are if you redshirted last year you were a developmental type, and developmental types take until year 3 or 4 to see any sort of result.

Guys like Hope, O'Donnell, Hoilett, Dortch come to mind. They shouldn't see much PT early...they need to spend Year 1 putting on a ton of weight / changing their body and Year 2 getting used to playing in it. OR so I postulate.

That's reasonable enough. It's just a little odd to me that there aren't guys in between the early contributors and the projects.
