Good riddance! Ha.

I have 2 freshmen leaving my team for broken promises. No sweat. I’m a little relieved by both of them. However, I have a question going forward.

The one guy started 22/26 regular season games, 84.6%, and played just over his 10 promised minutes. Does it matter that the 4 games I didn’t start him were all non-conference games? Does it matter he didn’t start in post-season?

Also, what effect is my B+ reputation going to have on recruiting?

Are you positive Horvath was only promised 10? His work ethic loss is pretty severe for someone who exceeded his promised minutes.

In general, I try to get the starts early, and save benching for tough conference games late in the season, when necessary, if it’s a guy I really don’t want to risk. Most players are fine staying above ~85% of your promises, but a small number seem to really want to hold you to every little bit, at least early in the season. So any benching for promised starters, and any dip below the promised minute mark has potential to trigger an unhappy response at one of the check-in points for those players. When you get that unhappy email, if you want to be sure to keep the player, you want to keep them above their request until they get you a happy email. If you don’t get the happy email, they are probably going to leave, from what I understand (this is for freshmen and other first-year players who are upset about broken promises; other players don’t seem to leave in 3.0, no matter how mad you make them).

Yep. Just checked. 10 mins. And his WE was down to 42 the whole season. What a diva!

Maybe I’d care if his defense wasn’t atrocious. He was a last-minute scramble because I needed 1 more player at the position.

I wonder if there was one more regular season game 23/27, 85.2% if he would have been satisfied. Probably better for me he’s gone.

Do you get recruiting resources for a broken promises leaving player?

I don't know about in 3.0 recruiting .. but this used to impact your reputation for recruiting in older versions (having players leave).

B+ rep? you won't know the difference, its small.

Gillespie is right. You get additional scouting and recruiting $.
