Think Moose is right. Saw this piece on Cuse kid currently on Canadian tour;
"Can B.J. Johnson play himself out of a redshirt role
"Because of eligibility issues concerning Roberson another incoming freshmen, Johnson, a 6-foot-7 forward, has a chance to play himself into a backup role and avoid that dreaded redshirt tag. If Johnson can play well in the next four days and continue to improve through pre-season workouts then he could force Boeheim and company to have no choice but to keep him on the roster for this season. However, there's a boatload of talent ahead of him and the task will be tough."
Seems to imply he could still be redshirted despite playing on Canadian Tour.
