What does this mean? It could be viewed in a variety of ways, but it definitely speaks to Saban's culture within the program. Obviously, four players living out their dreams in the NFL is a positive. But by stacking great class on great class every single year, even talented players have to fight 24/7/365 to earn (and subsequently keep) their jobs.

Maybe recruits will start looking elsewhere. But I doubt it. Id go to Bama to play for the goat as well.

There were only 3 members of the 13 class last year as red shirt seniors.

The cream rises to the top, and Saban skims that cream off every year to field a championship contender.

Intern Butch tried to coach him, IMO.

Must be tough leaving with a degree and multiple natty's. That Saban dude is a meanie.

Okay?
Warmack is grad transferring. He got his degree. What else is there to say?

So really only 6 have left for reasons outside of what you should wish for.
6 out of 24 is not that bad considering 5 years of eligibility, ~25 signees a year and a 85 man limit

And that results in no complacency, attention to detail, and championship rings.
It’s college football, not little league. The first day of fall camp my freshman year of college, our HC addressed the team and one of the first things he said was “I don’t give a frick how good you think you are, I can replace your arse.”
It is what it is.

Nobody else has draft class attrition. Only Bama.

Alabama is run like an nfl team of professionals and not a college team of student athletes

Did they have to return their Chargers?

Think your OP is misworded
If only 10 remain that means 14 have either transferred out, were dismissed, or declared early. We know that 4 were drafted last week, so that means 10 more that didn't declare for the draft have since left the program. I don't pay close enough attention to Alabama's roster to know who those players are or why they left, but clearly Alabama hasn't been affected by attrition so not sure what the angle is supposed to be here.

Yeah, that’s how it works at Bama.
You aren’t entitled to a spot because of what you did in high school. You have to fight 365 to earn your position, and your rings.
I don’t understand what’s controversial about that.

Obviously Saban just does not have this coaching thing figured out yet. He needs to completely overhaul his system if he ever wants to be relevant.

Simply put, the Crimson Tide program is in great hands. We all saw the freshman that led the comeback win over Georgia in the College Football Playoff National Championship in January, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Jerry Jeudy, running back Najee Harris, and offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood. Saban's culture of competition leads to transfers, and the 2015 class exemplifies that.
