Chattanooga's #1 recruiting class.

[Cocky]

I found this quote on the 2004 recruiting class on the Mocs board.

"The highly rated signing class of 2004 had 25 high school players in it, ony 8 remain on the team...4 of the 17 that are not on the team today, never made it to the first pratice (they didn't have the grades) 1 of they 17 had to take a medical hardship, 2 of the 17 are part of the oning rape case, the other 10 had grade and or discipline problems.."



UC had a high attrition rate with this class. Is this the norm with most schools?

I would say that is NOT the norm for most schools. Within the PL, the norm would be more like 4-5 out of a class of 25-30 would drop in the first year.

That's pretty horrible, I imagine one of the worst in I-AA. Furman is 14/14 on its 2004 class to date.

That seems to be the norm for UTC.

Suprisingly enough Georgia Southern is 25/26.

20 out of 21 signed by Coastal are still here.

I don't know anything about Chattanooga, so I'm just throwing this out: might this have something to do with "culture?" At the I-A level, for instance, some schools have a reputation for accepting football athletes who "live on the edge" and it leads to certain off the field headlines. Florida State and Miami come to mind here. Others have a reputation for accepting low academic achievers and then never moving them toward graduation. Some coaches, on the other hand, have stated that "character" is a major factor in the recruiting decision. I'm thinking of Ara Parseghian, Joe Paterno and a few others. Anyway, might there be a "culture" problem in Moc land that leads to this kind of a statistic?
