[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 9286, member: 231"] A low attrition rate is a positive for a basic ethical reason in my view. A low attrition rate at its essence means young men are being educated. The only attrition angle that could reflect negatively on a school's recruiting seems to be that if you have a high number of athletes talented enough to leave early for the draft then you can expect higher attrition. Logically every school's fans would like to have a lot of draftees and some amount of those will go early. But I am not sure that I see clearly how to evaluate this aspect of attrition rates. So i can only fall back on the fact that a low attrition rate is a good thing because it is essentially ethical (kids get an education) and it implies more senior/experienced depth in the program irrespective of NFL talent. Evaluating the overall health of recruiting at Tech seems to be mostly impressionistic rather than hard and factual. We cannot really go by the recruiting site overall team/class rankings for reasons I mentioned above. If we were fans of a factory school then we could use those rankings. [/QUOTE]
