Scouting Report: Ian Miletic

[Pakuni]

Yeah even under that metric we aren't broke. But keep trying I guess.

Trying what?

[Hards Alumni]

I actually think it's more beneficial to go the red shirt route. First, you will probably make more money as a redshirt at a high major than a contributor at a low major. Second, by redshirting you are creating a 5th year (for now, possible 6th in the future)of income potential at a point in your career where you will be far more valuable than you are as a freshman.

I'd never thought about this, but that is really smart.

Except under the proposed rules, you can only get five years. A redshirt doesn't give you a sixth I believe.

Yeah, but 5 > 4.  Especially, if you're not NBA bound that's 20% more earnings.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Under the propsed rules, everyone gets five years and a redshirt doesnt add to it.

Only if you bake in an assumption that earnings are the same everywhere.

Yeah.  Could be more or less.  Anything is better than zero though.  Since we're being pedantic.

Not sure what's pedantic about that.
The argument that was presented is that a player like Miletic is better off spending five years at MU to get five years of earnings, as opposed to going elsewhere for four years. How much he may earn over those four years elsewhere seems a pretty essential factor in the argument, no?

So a redshirt year eats 1 year of eligibility?

Its a proposal that hasn't been approved yet. Essentially redshirting wouldnt exist anymore except for medical purposes.
