Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 2008271, member: 485"] Your math is off. Roster has 85 spots - jucos typically have 2 years to play. When you add grad transfers (as Babers did with Etta-Tawo and Wilson) it is only for one year. Either way, these approaches can provide the flexibility to balance the roster and solve problems with deficits in talent in particular units. Another way to look at this. When your high school recruiting does not pan out or players have left for various reasons (Shafer's class in 2014, for example), you might use juco recruiting to fill the gaps. At the same time, you bring in 22 players (or so) from the high school ranks. If that yield is better, fewer gaps to fill. [/QUOTE]
