So I put a redshirt on a freshman and he says that he would've appreciated being told in recruiting or something.  His WE goes down 15 points from 56 to 41.  I'm thinking of leaving the redshirt on him despite the drop.  I'm wondering though, after this season will his WE recover back up to the original 56 or will it stay at 41 for next season?

It stays

Poop.

41 we with a rs is probably worth it however. He will probably max with 56 we as well as probably maxing senior year with 41 we, the rs and 41 we prpbably means reaches maxes at the beginning of junior year

41 work ethic isn't bad. You could benefit from just keeping him with the redshirt.

yeah, I would keep the redshirt on. Depending on how much improvement, you're probably better off still giving him the extra season

All good advice, thanks guys.  Fortunately I had two freshman guards this season so I was fine taking the redshirt off the first guy and putting it on the other guy.  He took the redshirt no problem, so it's all good now.

If the guy loses 15 (or in my case 9) points of WE on a redshirt, does that mean he's going to stay and not transfer after one year? I've had guys lose a couple of points before but never 9.

If the WE loss is from red shirting then they'll never transfer.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping.
