This would be a wasted year for both of them, if they play. Look at our line-up last night when the "scrubs" were in: Morris twins, Elijah Johnson, Jordan Juenemann, and Tyrel Reed. Additionally, we have Brady coming back in January. It isn't likely that either of them will make the top 7 or 8 of HCBS's nine man rotation, and, if that is the case, it would be better for them and the program if they saved a year of eligibility.
Looking at the roster, there are 12 guys who could conceivably be in the rotation first semester: 4 bigs, 3 wings, 5 guards. I think you want two players at each position for depth and in case of injury, which leaves 4 bigs, 2 wings and 4 guards.
To get there, you have to redshirt a 3 (Little or Releford) and a guard (Johnson alone is eligible).
I don't see both Little AND Releford redshirting because that would leave X as the only true 3. I don't see EJ redshirting because Self says he's too good.
That leaves 4+2+5 = 11 guys first semester, 5+2+6 = 13 guys second semester. Too many guards; good luck getting minutes, CJ & Tyrel !

Why redshirt? Just practice, play, and move on.

maybe we might need someone if others go pro early next year?

CJ won't have trouble getting minutes. Everyone is underestimating the impact he will make on this team.
