Mendenhall has unique take on red shirts and early enrollment

http://www.dailyprogress.com/cavalierinsider/mendenhell-expects-recruits...

"I don't plan to redshirt," he said. "We're going to play freshmen as they come in. ... I like players that come in right from the beginning expecting to play, competing to play and having the mindset to contribute."

"I'm not a huge advocate [of early enrollment] from the standpoint of I think high school is an amazing time of life," Mendenhall said. "In general, the recruiting process continues to go earlier and earlier and earlier. And as an advocate on the board of directors for the [American Football Coaches Association], I keep trying to make it stay later and later and later. I think we make more and more mistakes as we go earlier and I think we entitle players earlier and earlier. I think that sets a really poor precedent."

These are going to be interesting times at LOLUVA. Also like to point out the Freudian slip in the headline.
