Thank you.

What happens to a recruits interest if you withdraw a promised start during recruitment? Will be automatically become totally uninterested in signing?

You actually can't withdraw a promised start. (You CAN decrease promised minutes tho). At least not once it's processed. If it hasn't processed in a recruiting cycle, you can withdraw it and nothing happens. Because the effort was not applied.

The only way i can think of removing a promised start, is by offering a redshirt after. And if you were to do that, I'd say that you have 0 chance of signing that recruit later on. But i can't say for sure because I've never tried it myself

inform of redshirt will turn off the promised start - and it will be a very large negative factor for the recruit. Both the redshirt effect and the loss of the starting promise (and also any minutes promise)

I doubt that it makes it 100% impossible to recruit the kid, but it is a huge negative

One other note, I would never offer a start without some minutes - at least 10 because he will get ten minutes by virtue of starting even if you go with subbing by minutes and set him at the lowest 4-8

Very well said. If you use the fatigue setting, and not target minutes, if you offer a start, you might as well offer 10 (or 15) minutes too. It's free recruiting effort. The only situation i would NOT offer 15 minutes when offering a promised start, is if the recruit had low ATH, SPD, DEF, *and* ST. If a few of those 4 attributes are decent, he's going to get his 15 minutes fairly easily.

Thank you guys!
