While I agree, last year we had something like 10 grad transfers who all counted as "portal entrants." It's still attrition with eligibility remaining.

I remember and agree that 2020 retention was not as rosy.  This year boiled down to Wedington and Sarell, in my view.  And it was counter-balanced by great retention of other 5th- and 6th-year players in positions of need. 

Happily Drafted:
Little, Mills, Adebo, Dalman, Fehoko

5th-Year Seniors in 2020 (would have been 6th-years in 2021):
"Declared for NFL" - Antoine, Harrington, Toner, Schaffer, Robinson
Actually Returned for 6th year (!) - Maddox, J. Fox, Sanders

Undrafted 4th Year Seniors in 2020:
"Declared for NFL" - Wedington, Sarell, St. Brown (or retired?)
Returned for 5th Year (!) - N. Williams, Keck, R. Johnson, Heimuli, DWP, Fisk, G. Reid
