Redshirting a player I did not notify Topic

I was wondering what the potential ramifications there could be for redshirting a recruit that I did not notify of a redshirt during the recruiting cycle? He is a 460 with lots of potential and I am playing at the D3 level. It would be a waste for him to lose a year of eligibility because he is no where near ready, but I am unsure of what may happen if I redshirt him.

Thoughts?

Just click the redshirt and see. The results are immediate. If you don't like what happens, remove the redshirt and it restores to normal. But be SURE you want to restore everything back to normal. Because if you change your mind and try to redshirt the same player again, he will lose more WE than he did the first time that you tried

I've noticed that players are more willing to accept a redshirt if they are the lowest rated players on the team. If not, they are likely to push back. If they are the lowest rated player on my roster I sit them out until they complain or all the games are played. Then I offer them a redshirt and they have taken it (about 5/5 ).

a freshman who has been made no promises and is the weakest guy on your roster is likely to accept

I am not sure that sitting him out changes attitude in the game - I doubt that it does

I am confident that it also matters how the player's status compares to the team status - if an A+ prestige signs a two star, he is likely to be okay with the redshirt (assuming no promises). If a C prestige team signs a 4 star, he is unlikely to take the redshirt well. His attitude is you should be excited that I am here....

I try not to assume things so I mentioned that he has to sit out to be red shirted.
