I think you are under-valuing several juco players, stretching to justify your first post.  Pierce was a star juco, brought in to fill a big hole in our roster.  Guthrie was a juco AA, who would have played in his first year here if we did not have a 4-year starter in Franklin.

We got Tisdale from Lackawanna — the two best linemen on his team were recruited by Penn State and Tennessee.  You mentioned Diabate, but not Tiller (same era) — who helped complete Marrone’s OL.

In fairness, compare our juco recruiting to who we have landed through high school recruiting.  If we were building a talented and deep roster through normal recruiting, we would not be getting waxed by ACC competition.  As it stands, there have to be juco linemen (OL and DL) who would be upgrades to what we have for 2020.

Not suggesting a wholesale commitment to jucos and grads — but we need help at CB, DT, LB, QB and OT.  2 grads, 3 jucos — seems about right.
