Monumental screw up. I promised starts and minutes to two frosh. Both meeting minutes but for some hideous oversight I didn't have them in starting lineup at all. After 8 games got angry message and WE dropped 24 and 32. I've now got one start in them. Is it a coin flip they stay with 20ish starts or worse?

You’ll want to start them through the conference tourney, for sure. I don’t know what the odds are, but if they get 21 starts before the NT/PIT, I think they’re more likely to stay. But no guarantees.

Should they leave, Hartford may welcome them with open arms. And good promises.

Hahaha. To add to the OP.... I would "think" if you start them every game until the NT, you'll be fine. Every recruit is different. But if it took 8 games for either one of them to send you hate mail, and they both sent the hate mail on the same day (8 games in), then they appear to be the "below 80%" type of guys as far as starts. Which is a good thing at this point. (If they were players that would cry about only starting 24 of 26 games, you would've gotten the hate mail much sooner).

I would guess that you'll be fine as long as they get every start from now on. When you get the happy email towards the end of the season, I'd say you're safely in the clear, as that WE will move back up to around -5. And they won't leave. As long as their starts continue.

Thanks - especially to my conference mate tec

Oops sorry - replied with other world ID

If you start them every game of the regular season after getting the mail, they won’t leave.
