...due to broken promises or just lack of playing time which has caused their WE to tumble...often times into the single digits...shouldn't those WE numbers be restored when they transfer? 

You'd think someone so disgruntled with their old situation would be excited to have a new opportunity, no?

Or does this already happen and I've just missed it?

This is a question I'd like to know the answer to as well. Does the WE go back up to previous (or even higher) levels, as would seem realistic, or does it remain the same?

if WE drops from broken promises and the season ends that way the WE stays at the lower level.

So in other words, you have turned that transferring player into damaged goods.

Yes he seems to be damaged goods then in a way.

This doesn't make any sense, though. Why would his WE stay low if he's getting what he wants?

This would be a change I would like to see... but that most likely means CS won't do anything about it

you dare blaspheme the almighty CS?

I think in this scenario different guys would react differently.  A decent number would likely just get disillusioned with coaches and basketball in general.  "Coach promised me playing time, I worked really hard and he still didn't give it to me.  What's the point of putting in effort?  I'm never trusting a coach again."  Others would be excited to be in a new situation and ready to work as hard or harder than they did before.  It's always best (IMO) to have all guys react in a similar way within a season.  That goes back to our prior WE discussion with bistiza - nearly everyone agreed that it was reasonable to assume that MOST players would lose WE if they weren't playing, and it's best for what happens to players to be predictable for the health of the game.  That said, if AFTER transferring out some recruits regained WE it could be processed before recruiting began, so the playing field would still be level.  It would also help keep at least some of those transfer players from being rendered worthless.
