I redshirted Bruce Thorn, who is allegedly high potential in a number of areas, but throughout the non-conference schedule, he hasn't improved by a single point in any category.  I know redshirting players cuts back their development, but this seems a bit odd.  Anyone else having this issue?  I submitted a ticket as well.

cappel, he has a 1 we. I agree that not improving by even a single point is extreme, but if you take a guy with 1 we and give him zero PT, you should rightfully expect improvement to be pretty glacial.

Think of potential this way- High potential means that category would move up faster than his other categories, but it's still going to increase at a rate based on WE and PT. 

Example, a guy could have 1 WE, 1 BH, and High BH potential and maybe get up to 5 BH by the end of the season if you're lucky, whereas a guy with 75 WE, 50 BH and medium potential could increase 10 or more.

Got it.  Somehow I missed that he had a 1 WE...  Thanks gents.

there's a good chance he dropped to a WE of 1 when you redshirted him.  Sophs are not the easiest to reshirt.

You could rescind the redshirt and see what his WE restores to.  Then if you can keep him out of the lineup you could attempt to redshirt him later in the season.

No, I notified him of the redshirt in recruiting and  he took it willingly.  I just somehow glossed over the 1 WE during that time.
