JJ talked about grayshirting recruits

DMN = Dallas Morning News

DMN Note: "SMU coach June Jones estimated he had a handful of grayshirts on his 2007 Hawaii team that crashed the Bowl Championship Series."

About why they grayshirted players at UH, JJ said:
"Depending on the situation, it's almost always in the best interest of the athlete. It happens for different reasons. At Hawaii, it was an overabundance at a certain position." (DMN)

DMN Note: "At SMU, emerging offensive lineman Josh Emshoff has thrived after grayshirting because of a shoulder injury, bulking up from 260 pounds to 290. While Jones believes quarterback development can be aided by grayshirting, the position that probably benefits most is the offensive line. Players use the time to prepare and mature for what they'll face in college. Think of it as a boys-to-men transformation."
