Yeah, he has tons of guys considering him, and most are considering him + another school. It just looks bad. As a div I school, I was almost willing to drop 15k on the PF because it looked like he was in so much battles and just wanted to sign him for the cheap. Somehow, he actually thinks the under 50 reb rated pf is worth it, so I decided against it.
Inform of redshirt works. You don't need to even pull the 'ship, just hope you don't have enough onto him that hes okay with the redshirt.
