I don't really have a strong opinion on your proposal specifically, but I do think recruits and players both should make their decisions intelligently. Players who 1) want to play as part of their recruit preferences, and/or 2) get promised minutes shouldn't accept anything more than a negligible decrease in minutes year over year. If you promise 25, it's reasonable for those players to start complaining, lose work ethic, and eventually transfer if those minutes go down later on.

I also think % of offense should be a preference (maybe replacing "wants success") and available promise.

It's not really your strategy. Pretty sure a LOT of people do it. And it probably dead on accurate with how recruiting works. "You're the best we have coming in. You'll be a 4 year starter!!" Then, next year, "Sorry, son, Billy Bob has outplayed you. You're gonna be a back-up this year. We'll get you some PT though. Don't worry about it."

Yes this is realistic. You gotta perform well to keep your spot. If not, you're gunna be riding the pine. Having promises extend more than the initial season is silly.

Lol what does % of offense even mean? I see that stat under Player Game Plan but to this day, I have no idea how that percentage is calculated.

Player [FGA + (.5)FTA] /
Team [FGA + (.5)FTA]

When there's an odd number of FTA, round down.
