Interestingly, Western Kentucky is in the 60+% territory like the big boys but managed to recover sufficiently well.Notice the attrition rates at all? 60%+ for Michigan, Alabama, OSU, Texas. 40's seems to be the norm, but those schools can lose two thirds and easily replace them
Those schools at the lower levels are gonna get picked over for sure. Guys that were under the radar who get on the radar and want to move up.Interestingly, Western Kentucky is in the 60+% territory like the big boys but managed to recover sufficiently well.
I wonder of that 60%+, how many players are being run off those programs.Notice the attrition rates at all? 60%+ for Michigan, Alabama, OSU, Texas. 40's seems to be the norm, but those schools can lose two thirds and easily replace them
A MAC level player, I agree. While NIL is still new, has Iowa lost a good player to a blue blood? There may one or some but I can’t think who that is/they are. The big fat kid doesn’t count.it seems to me like this NIL thing is going to create a de facto "feeder system" if it has not already done that.
I mean, as alluded to above, a guy goes to a MAC school (or a mid-major like Iowa) and does well, so then realizes he is good enough for the blue bloods, and we end up losing him. the cynic in me says it was designed that way, to exacerbate an already existing Plutocracy.
Add Isaiah Moss...it was before NIL, but he ended up at Kansas with Bill Self, so I'm sure he got paid.Tony Perkins got paid 400K, but I think he wanted a change no matter what.
Jacob Bostick? Not sure he counts.
But we've lost a few.
We tend to recruit kids with integrity and commitment. The ones that sign anyway.
