I know Noah Spence is suspended indefinitely and there is no word on a possible return........ My question is this........

Assuming Noah Spence is suspended for the entire year (which looks like a strong possibility), and lets say he is reinstated next year to return back to the team in 2015....... Even though he was suspended this year, can the coaching staff use this year as a Red Shirt year or does Noah Spence lose the entire year because he was suspended? Can he return next year as a Red Shirt Junior or will he be a Senior because of the suspension?

Please Advise, Thank You.......
