Attrition Rates updated

Clearly UGA is doing something right. Loaded at every position and no one is leaving.

coaching changes plus portal allowing transfer without having to sit a year equals higher attrition rates than 10 years ago... on Georgia, winning with elite players and you will be fine with a stable staff.

This is some really interesting information to look at!!

I'd love to see us eventually in that 30-40% attrition.


This is the sort of content I enjoy looking at THANK YOU!!

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.

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.

We all know the story. UT coaching malpractice is also responsible for a lot of our defections. Of course Georgia is what we want to become

I noticed this as well and almost posted a similar comment.

I do know that LSU's football facility is out of this world, there is a mini series on YouTube that shows a guy going to all these football facilities at college programs. A lot of players are more drawn to uniforms, resources and facilities not just winning records and coaching staffs to be honest.

It definitely means this GA and Bama have signed the most elite talent in country GA keeping majority of theirs willing to wait their turn were Bama is not wanting to wait their turn.

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'

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.

That didn’t really answer the question. How will that level the playing field (granted I don’t actually see a level playing field as a desirable outcome)?

It seems the same schools winning at recruiting will also get the best players in the portal.

My thoughts, and they might be only mine, is that the portal "could be, or is" an additional avenue for lesser teams who continually lose the recruitment wars of high school players, to gather some less known players w experience

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.

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.

I have to be honest. IMHO the ideal team moving forward it 50% recruits and 50% TP. I mean I'll take a 3* that's been in college already for 2 years over a 3* coming out of HS. This is a no brainer.

I think you're probably right. The teams in the playoffs are still somewhat insulated right now.
