It seems like our players are getting smacked in the face a lot this year.
Yep- pretty much every team that we have played has punched us in the mouth!

While I'm no fan of Dino, do you know for sure that was NOT what he said? Unless that's coming from you hearing the conversation, Dino or Ty, I'm not certain that it can be a "should have" post. I highly doubt that Dino said anything other than something along the lines of "if you outplay those in front of you in practice, you'll get PT." Basically, what any coach would tell a player, especially a 5*
Petter said incoming class, not current freshmen.
It would not be anyone from the incoming class and does not need to be.
If Ty was a RS junior and WF had the same 6 man class coming in, from the last 3 games "DNP Coaches Decision", it's clear who would/will not be coming back for the 2012-3 season.
With that said, agree that a player can not be "forced" to RS. Obvious that RSing was the way to go for Ty and his failure to follow the advice of those looking out for him explains many of his struggles over the last 4 years.
So saying that playing time is earned in practice is a bad thing? People will really say some ridiculous things in order to bash Dino.
Nobody comes to school fired up to redshirt. Being Ty's buddy and giving him false hope of playing time was a huge mistake.
Of course a player can be forced to redshirt. Instead of playing 2 or 3 meaningless minutes in meaningless games like some walk-on, just don't play him.
Pretty simple - borderline 5-star players don't come to Wake Forest to redshirt.
