Vanderbilt has lost just 10 of its 60 signees from 2006-2008, but is 16-21 with one bowl appearance during that stretch.
Florida, the second-best at retaining players over that time period, has proved it doesn’t hurt, though. The Gators are 35-6 since 2006 and have won two of the last three national championships. Currently, all 22 members of their 2008 signing class are on the official roster heading into the 2009 season.
