[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 64311, member: 322"] Does anyone know how to quantify the attrition we have had of non-graduating players since the previous season for other than graduation? Every year there are several and for various reasons. This year seems to be the highest by far. I was thinking about looking at the rosters, but they get filled with non-scholarship players if there aren't scholarship players. So that would be a lot of work to figure out the "career" of every commit at GT. (I did that for baseball, but there a lot fewer players. Baseball has a lot of loses too, mostly from kids who don't get to play becasue others start in front of them and won't make the MLB.) I think that whether this is good or bad for the program depends on what contribution each player would have made to the team (unknowable), how many problems the player would have caused (unknowable) and the quality of the replacement commits we now get early (some what knowable). It seems that the 13 left and one never came, for several different reasons. It is pure speculation since we are not given the reasons that most left (Vad was an exception) or we dismissed from the team. Violating team rules is a very broad category. [/QUOTE]
