Actually the question is whether they are likely to stay 3 OR 4 years no matter what. No reason to redshirt them if they stay 4 years but only play 3. The only scenario where redshirting benefits Stanford is if they would have stayed for a fifth year (presumably when they are at the peak of their abilities) but had exhausted their eligibility after four years. If they play even close to their recruiting rankings it seems unlikely that they would be in school for five seasons.
