Sophomore center Mercedes Russell will redshirt the 2014-15 season, according to a Holly Warlick statement yesterday.
“Mercedes has a history of orthopaedic problems with her feet that our sports medicine staff is working to correct,” Warlick said. “Redshirting this season will allow her the opportunity to return to full health and still have three full years of eligibility with our program. We look forward to seeing Mercedes back in action next season.”
Russell played in all 35 games as a freshman, averaging 6.3 points and 5.0 rebounds.
