Mark Anderson in 1972-73 didn't play varsity his freshman year. He played 3 years at MU (when you only had 3 years of eligibility), avging 5.7 ppg and 2.9 rebounds his junior year before not getting much playing time as a senior and only avging 1.6 ppg and 1.2 rebounds.
Here is an article discussing the basis for Brad Sutton's redshirt:
For Bradd Sutton, an exciting time last year consisted of a good warmup followed by some intense stat-keeping. His season highlight was working out in front of a few fans before the Big Eight Conference basketball tournament in Kansas City. "I learned a lot," he said. "You can learn a lot when you have to sit and watch." That's about all the 6-foot-9 freshman did last season, when he was a medical redshirt because of lingering effects of mononucleosis. "Some games, I kept stats," Sutton ; said. "I dressed for all the games. I guess if I came out in my street clothes, then I'd feel like a (student) manager or something." Sutton also practiced with the team, although he didn't have much staying power. "After about an hour, I felt like I was going to die," he said. "I'd feel my legs going out." Sutton came down with mononucleosis late in his senior season at Union High in Grand Rapids, Mich. He lost nearly 20 pounds and missed about a month of school. "I had it real bad," Sutton said. When he came to Missouri in the fall of 1985, Sutton still was bothered by a virus stemming from the mononucleosis. He played sparingly in four early season games, scoring a total of eight points, but was redshirted. This year, Sutton is going at full speed and his weight is up to 210, about 15 pounds heavier than his playing weight as a high school senior. "I feel a lot better, my legs and everything," Sutton said. "I feel a lot stronger in practice. It's probably the best shape I've ever been in." As a high school senior, Sutton also considered Michigan State and Akron before picking Missouri. The Michigan Wolverines also showed some interest, but Sutton said he and coach Bill Frieder didn't hit it off. "He came in with a home visit, but I just didn't like him," said Sutton, who sensed he was more of a secondary recruit rather than a primary recruit for the Wolverines.
