Hedley Lamarr Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I hope we sign 2-4 JUCOs per year minimum. Plenty of high profile JUCOs that can help us every year. Held has the contacts and ability to make it happen and we would be stupid to not get JUCO help. It will help us cover the gap between our talent and the Ohio states of the world. Add a Lavonte David and Randy Gregory to a defense and see what happens 2 Quote Link to comment

But no problem in the first year or 2 to snag more than usual. Then again if there is great talent at JUCO why pass on it any year I never saw the downside of Jucos, and wandered why we didn't take more. K-State loved those guys, and they helped K-State win.

Some coaches feel like they don't want to invest a scholarship in a guy who is only going to contribute 1-2 years, plus they can be hard to get them cleared academically. I think JUCO guys can be used to fill positions of need or bring in a playmaker (see Demorrio Williams, Randy Gregory, and Lavonte David). Plus, if they don't pan out, they are usually gone within 2 years. 1 Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 We need to fill out this class and then some. Rather than reaches out of HS I love these JUCO offers. If we screw up with a kid, at least it’s only a 2 year problem instead of 5. 1 Quote Link to comment

famoustitles Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Our wr room is really thin and young. . Adding Juco Woodyard and Williams helps with both those issues 1 Quote Link to comment

Throwing offers out just as a last resort that won’t be there by the time they got around to it as they will all be committed by then. Quote Link to comment

It’s been said that Eichorst banned them from recruiting JUCOs. That’s clearly not the case. 2 Quote Link to comment
