I'm ok with JUCOs.  1-2 each year just to keep those pipelines open make sense to me.  HCDM had to go this route due to his lack of ability to develop a recruiting based coaching staff as he never really developed that part of the program all that well. Annomander I know you disagree with HCDMs ability to recruit but he admitted to me he never really liked that part of the job - his words "sitting in a family room trying to convince teenagers & parents to commit to SU was not his cup of tea".

I have followed Wayne Williams since high school and I think he will be an important and necessary piece to our DL puzzle next year.  Lot of us had privileged childhoods with parents who pushed us and it was the normal thing to do after high school was to go to college.  For others not so much.

However, only the OL and DL big uglies make sense as JUCOs to me - even if they only play mainly on the scout team or special teams - I personally don't like playing first team big uglies on special teams - we need depth on the line especially after this year's injury saga.  If we need to regularly recruit skill players from the JUCO ranks (maybe a top 10 JUCO kid ok), that's when I would get worried.
