What do y'all think of redshirting Hurt next season? Amir has proven he can play major minutes at the 3; Fitzgerald is likely to need some minutes at the 3/4; also, with four quality guards we'll likely play small occasionally with three of the four on the court at the same time - barring injury, there doesn't seem to be any minutes available for Hurt.
Right now, Hurt appears a little overwhelmed as if the game is a bit too fast for him (not uncommon for a freshman). The upside of redshirting would be another year to develop his game in a practice setting with no pressure to perform; it would also allow for an extra year to play alongside his "little" brother if the Gophers can successfully recruit him.
The downside would be the potential waste of a scholarship year if he doesn't project as a contributor down the road.
