I’m surprised at how many people don’t use inform of redshirt. most of the time the only time that I don’t do it, in case I want to redshirt them later in their career, is when I’m locked into a 50/50 battle. I don’t know anyone else that uses it at all. I love redshirting JUCOs especially
Do you recruit players that are at a higher division than your school? I'm not sure if this is a fact or not, but with me recruiting D1 players at a D2 school, I have never had any luck with the redshirt tool. And I mean never as in, not one single time have I used it, and the player didn't say screw you completely.
Every time I've offered that, i drop to 0% in every recruiting tool and I'm no longer being considered. Even if I continue trying and trying to get back on his radar.
I like to redshirt jucos if I get them as well. I like to redshirt someone every season if it's possible. Now, I will add in that I've only tried the redshirt recruiting tool maybe 10 times. Maybe more like 8. But my question to you is, how many times have you used that tool?
My 8 to 10 attempts isn't enough to clearly say it doesn't work. (But for me, I'm 0-fer. So it tells me what I need to know personally for the choices I will make going forward). But have you used the tool once or twice? More than 10 times? And have you ran into both possible outcomes multiple times? (1... Recruits accepting it. 2... recruits giving you the finger).
Edit.... I did have ONE time where i used it and i didn't drop to zero in everything. I forgot about it. Because when i did so, i didn't have a scholarship open. And i was literally just trying to tinker with the game with my $3k that i didn't need to spend on anything. So in this case, i wasnt really recruiting the player. Just toying around.
