Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 631956, member: 485"] I agree with a lot of that -- finding 3 or 4 jucos every year would be fine, especially if we are able to land JC's who have other offers. For example, the big linemen at Nassau & Lackawana. But JUCO hunting in February, searching in Arizona & California, is a make-up approach. Shafer did it this year because (a) we lost out on high school prospects we wanted; and (b) Marrone's departure set us back. The challenge is to have that "nice mix of HS ..." by winning some of the recruiting battles that happen between now and the end of July, and then in November and December. We don't have to "beat out the elite on a regular basis". But we do need to win our share of battles for high school prospects against Pitt, Rutgers, BC, West Virginia, Maryland and Cincy. [/QUOTE]
