Their 4 year attrition rate is 23%. Ours is about 2.5x that amount.
Cade was a UT legacy and his brother came to UT and he would have signed with UT to begin with if not for UT coaching malpractice.
I noticed this as well and almost posted a similar comment.Interesting. One thing that stands out is that FL and LSU, despite numerous coaching changes, manage to hold onto to players at a higher percentage than the rest of the conference.
Well, up until recently, before the transfer policies were loosened, all each team had to pull from were primarily HS grads. With the advent of the portal, schools have more options to find players - and not just out of JR colleges.
I love this thought process when looking at this data. It's super interesting and I would love to see more of this type of content on this forum.I'd like to be smart enough to draw a conclusion from this data; might help with the 'why' as opposed to simply the 'what'... for instance, these "losses": did they occur in the same year as signing, or subsequent to winning/losing seasons? a coaching change at either the original school or destination? were they "skill" players or in the trenches (albeit all are in fact skill players); what was their GPA at the time? was it to a school in same climate or not? was it to a school closer to home (or girlfriend)? were these 'early' or 'late' signees? Not 'sad' per se, but so much importance is placed on recruiting yet on average only about 6 of 10 are successful, should we think otherwise about it? Maybe 60% isn't so bad... if 60% of my sales calls were successful, I'd be doing pretty good. If 60% of my financial calcs were correct, I'd be fired. If I got a hit 60% of my at bats... anyway, thanks for digging this data up. Kind of fun to think of all the 'what-ifs'
Clearly UGA is doing something right. Loaded at every position and no one is leaving.
I think you're probably right. The teams in the playoffs are still somewhat insulated right now.Georgia's attrition rate is going to increase once the season is over. I suspect this year will be their highest portal count so far. Until something changes with the rules, every team will have intermittent high attrition years, some years intentional, some unintentional.
