Hard to believe Villanova has six redshirts on this team. I did a little research though.
- Spellman (#18 class of 2016) was redshirted because he was academically ineligible in the 16-17 season. I wonder why we didn't consider this for Preston.
- Paschall (#210 class of 2014) - Transferred from Fordam.
- DiVincenzo (#120 class of 2015) - Suffered a broken foot eight games into the 2016 season
- Bridges (#82 class of 2014) - Didn't get any playing time his freshman year so they decided to redshirt him.
- Booth (#92 class of 2014) - Season ending knee injury.
So it makes a lot of sense (outside of Bridges) why these guys were redshirts. I wonder why we don't redshirt more players though. Makes zero sense to me. Unless the subject is broached with the likes of Lightfoot and Cunliffe and they are like "NO WAY." I wonder if we could have done that with Preston even.
