Broken promise?

I recruited a 4-star WR to Rice and promised him solid playing time his first year on campus since he was really interested in playing time. So I made him my WR1 since he was my highest-rated WR and he wound up with 66 catches for 1041 yards and 10 touchdowns, but that promise was somehow broken. If starting a guy every game isn't "solid" playing time, what is?

Re: Broken promise?

Huh....that's kinda strange. One would most certainly think that would be enough. I'll admit though I haven't messed around enough with promises to see much more.

Re: Broken promise?

Once the promise was broken, what happened?

I feel your pain. Back in NCAA '08 I promised a WR recruit "solid playing time" and since I use 5-Wide, I put him in as the #5 WR... he ended up w/ 137 receptions and 22 TD's yet my promise was "broken" and the kid wanted to transfer at the end of the year. He was All-American, All Freshman and second in Heisman... yet it counted my promise as broken.

If that happened in real life and a kid wanted to transfer, saying I broke my promise after putting up those numbers, I'd knock the living #### out of him!

Re: Broken promise?

That's just bad mojo lol I usually just stick with not redshirting him as a freshmen if I need to promise a kid something. One of the few promises that are easily guaranteed =-)

this and winning record vs rivals

although if OP had the guy starting and threw to him quite a bit (as his stats indicate) then something is wrong w/ the system

Hmm...that's really weird. Sounds like that might need to be patched
