I had an interesting conversation with an ASU alum. He said the assistant AD told him they red shirted 22 very good freshmen so that they would be able to keep them for 5 years to be ready for the FBS. I consider that a defeatist attitude, you don't ever give up wins in any season to ready yourself for wins in another because you don't know whats's going to happen. Thoughts?

It maybe true that ASU has redshirted a fairly large freshmen class, is it as high as 22, maybe.
I think they have done that (redshirt as many players as possible) for the last several years. I'm also sure that if they had any "very good freshmen" on that list, they'd be on the two deep roster and playing. No way would they not be utilizing players they think could help in this disaster of a season for the Mountaineers.
Anybody they redshirt is probably by definition "a good player" or ASU would not have recruited them. Most programs, as their funding level incenses, increases the number of redshirts. ASU's revenues of $18.6 million, allow for a lot more redshirts than does WCU's revenues of $11.1 million.
