Georgia Tech forwards Abdoulaye Gueye and Sylvester Ogbonda will redshirt this season, coach Brian Gregory announced Friday prior to the season opener. Gueye and Ogbonda both likely would not be able to contribute much behind four frontcourt players expected to play heavy minutes.
“I believe that A.D. (Gueye) and Sylvester have an opportunity to be tremendous players in our program,” Gregory said in a statement. “When you have a situation where you can red-shirt two players and help them get physically stronger, increase their skill level and compete every day in practice against three senior post players, it’s a good situation for them and their future, and it’s a good situation for our program.
