So I just got knocked out of the NT in Naismith and started planning for next season. I noticed that I have a Jr rotting away on my bench who was already complaining about PT (Drop of 5 WE points this season). Then I noticed he hadnt been redshirted yet. Will redshirting him force him to transfer?

Nope. He'll sink down to 1 WE (most likely) but won't leave after the season.

so redshirting a soph or jr equals drop in we?

Not necessarily. I've redshirted a junior without any drop in WE at all. And he actually became my leading scorer after the guys ahead of him graduated. However, this was during my first year taking over a new roster. I'm not sure if it'd work so well with a roster you've built yourself. But it's worth a try.

I red shirted a sophomore PG at D1 and he took it happily, no loss of WE. He wasn't going to get any playing time so I think that factored in.

Well, I just discovered a glitch...when the redshirt update hit, the WE dropped to a 1. When I restored his WE rose back to 25 (which is what it was after the drop for lack of playing time but now it no longer showed the loss). I wonder  if this technique could be used to prevent a guy from transferring.

No glitch.  The numbers are the same.  Just a cosmetic issue on how it looks on the player screen.
