Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 3521220, member: 40"] Don't get me started on Hay. Agree with the rest. It isn't a "fix" for SU. Now, can it be used as a supplemental strategy? Should SU actively recruit guys that they think can bolster depth? Yes to both -- but as you adroitly point out, 'Cuse isn't typically landing highly rated players from the JUCO ranks who can step right in and contribute. Case in point: Petry. We have no idea whether he'll be a contributor. I'd consider it a "win" if he cracks the two deep [beyond this year's emergency depth situation] and contributes even as a platoon player. Anything more than that is gravy. If he ends up being a starter [even for a year] -- cool. But he is very typical of the type of JUCO OL we land, and he isn't a guy that you bring in to be an immediate plug and play surefire starter. [/QUOTE]
