The Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball team won’t be redshirting any players this season according to interim head coach Ron Sanchez.
“I think we’re going to need everyone,” he said in Monday’s press conference. “Right now there’s no discussion of redshirting anyone.”
Sanchez’s note that neither of Virginia’s true freshmen – Ishan Sharma and Jacob Cofie – will redshirt reflects both their readiness to contribute in year one and UVA’s likely move away from redshirting in the new era of college basketball.
Fortunately for the 2024-25 Wahoos, Sharma and Cofie could each provide depth at positions where the team might’ve otherwise been lacking.
