I'll give you a straight answer since noone else is really trying.
 
Wes was awesome but he had to sit out the year due to injury anyway. We really could've used him the year he had to sit but he was worth the wait. Most cases we could take a highly touted Frosh and if he didnt work have a new one lined up in year 2. Neither recruit nor transfer are sure things so may as well have 2 shots at it versus 1.
 
SU is recruiting so well the last few years that we don't really need to take flyers on JUCOs or transfers. If the players are that good, we'll be after them from HS. Ongeneat was great for his intensity but basketball skill wise he'd have a tough time finding minutes on more recent Cuse squads.
 
Marquette has used JUCOs because they haven't been able to land highly regarded HS kids. Instead they get JUCOs to play their system which is fine for them but not exactly basketball in alot of regards plus we would have alot of trouble hiding 6-5 post players in our zone.
 
Alot of JUCOs are flawed in some sense whether it be size, skill, grades, mentality, etc. If these guys were the real deal, we would've been after them before they hit the JUCO ranks in the first place.
