It will surprise you how high the attrition rate is in the SEC.
Tennessee signed 327 and lost 142 for a 43% attrition rate.

If this "attrition" counts players that did sign but did not qualify, it is completely off-base.
Without checking, does it?

The criteria is right at the top of the link.

Auburn's numbers are much more inflated than they should be because of the link counting non-qualifiers as attrition, which makes zero sense. Under Tommy Tuberville, Auburn took chances with many they knew wouldn't qualify. Due to this, the staff would place the players in junior college and re-sign them later on (counting 1 player as 2 because he is in 2 separate classes). Most of those never re-joined Auburn in the long run.
If you get where I'm going...

Tied for last in what is essentially the entire Richt era.

Bama and Nick take a huge hit on attrition nationally but there are 8 schools with higher rates than Bama.

So based on actual data, Alabama has one of the lowest "processing" rates in the conference.

The OP, or somebody else, would have to go through every team and not count non-qualifiers.

I do not know the answer. You will have to message the document authors on Google for that info.

I'm sure you would be so vehemently defending Alabama if it were Alabama with the 45% attrition rate. Instead since it is Auburn with the really high number the information must be flawed. We all sign non-qualifiers buddy. The criteria applies equally to all schools. Shula had tons of "sign and place" recruits that make our 38% number higher than it actually is.

Also, I'm glad Auburn can process unneeded players now. So...

So did Shula. That military school in Virginia was basically a boarding school for our non-qualifiers.
Evaluating the academic ability of a recruit is all a part of the game. If AU took more chances on dumb players and that affects your rate then so be it. Accept it for what it is. Don't act like AU is the only school that takes chances. It hurt all of our rates. AU had tons of arrests, academic casualties, and transfers as well.

Just for the sake of arguing...
2009 Auburn Class
Terrence Coleman - JUCO
Lovoyd James - JUCO
Reggie Taylor - JUCO
Izauea Lanier - JUCO (eventually signed with Tennessee)
Brandon Jacobs - MLB
Josh Jackson - JUCO
Jeremy Richardson - JUCO
2008 Auburn Class
Ken Adams - JUCO (eventually signed with LSU)
Raven Gray - JUCO
Reggie Hunt - JUCO
Onterio McCalebb - Hargraves Military Academy (eventually signed with Auburn)
Just a bunch of examples...
There were more in those two classes alone.

Well damn. Some of you need to explain your processing.

The numbers are way off.

He could play DB strictly on his back peddling ability. This is awesome. Props to the OP.

Clearly AU being worst in the SEC in recruits who sign v. those who actually complete their eligibility is bothering you. Especially since AU fans accused Bama of being some evil, cheating, processing demon for the last decade.

I'm provided 4 examples of players being counted twice each. Ken Adams, Onterio McCalebb, Nick Fairley and Izaiah Lanier were all counted twice total due to the system used (4 x 2 = 8). Auburn only got 2 of those on campus yet the number counted was 6 (Nick Fairley x 2, Onterio McCalebb x 2, Ken Adams and Izaiah Lanier).
