I hate to point out that, per last year's analytical and emotionless commentary on volnation, attrition is the 3rd through 5th sign of the program ending.
I believe it is preceded only by a bevy of high ankle sprains and Neyland stadium exploding.
Prediction:
There will be a few more in the coming weeks.
I think it's a little late in the process for us to see more attrition unless it is some underclassmen who don't foresee themselves getting any PT the rest of their careers at UT. For upperclassmen, like Blair, why leave now to either a.) go sit for a year then possibly get PT next year or b.) grad transfer and try to dive into a completely new system with only 3.5 months to learn and be successful. I'd say stay as the back-up on a team that could potentially win the SEC and compete for a Natty, take your rings and vet your pro prospects after a year. You will get more exposure as a back-up on an SEC championship team vs. a starter on a MAC or FCS team.
Remember all the angst on the boards a year ago about our abnormally high attrition rates?
If Nieko Creamer does end up transferring, that will make, what, 1? For the 2016 offseason?
How you like me now, the stat says.

Agree JP. You could even say we've had anti-attrition with all draft-eligible players that chose to return.
Some people look for anything to complain about without acknowledging the good, which there has been plenty of. Those people are probably on the "slow" recruiting meltdown train right now. But they'll be on to the next "freak out" topic when we finish with another solid recruiting class. . .
The NFL really does not look to draft career back up and 3rd teamers.. If that was the case Woody Quinn would have been a top 10 pick

QB-BJ Coleman, Brandon Stewart, AJ Suggs
Someone should come up with an all-attrition team. That would be good comedy.
