Is Dooley feeling some recruiting heat?

    I wish that I could recall the program that lived off of JUCOs. I want to say it was K-State. I just can't recall Fulmer or majors actively pursing this many JUCOs; unless it was a special player like Girbril Wilson or Dale Carter.

    Fulmer recruited his fair share of JUCO's if I recall correctly.

    problem with jucos is that they rarely come in and play at an elite level right away so you generally only get one good year out of them

    Fulmer would recruit them if they were faster than a spotted ape.

    Jackie Sherrill used a ton of JUCOs at Miss State.

    Auburn did alright with JUCO guys in 2010.

    I don't see the JUCO route as a long term fix to rebuilding a program....

    just like other guys it depends who you get. aaron rodgers was a juco. so was his teammate desmond bishop. but generally i agree with you.

    Dooley is facing winning games heat and having the team appear coached heat and offensive gameplan heat and some defensive gameplan heat and special teams suck heat. Other than those couple, he's killing it with the fans.

    Leonard Little, Gibril Wilson, Jesse Mahelona, Albert Toeania, Kenny O'Neal, Nevin McKenzie, Walter Fisher, Gerald Williams, who else?

    That LB named Poe. He recruited Marlon Walls, in HS and Juco, I think.

    I think it was unusual if Phil had more than one Juco in a class, though.

    There were some in the 90s as well, but it does seem that the rate at which they are being brought in has increased.

    We produced some JUCOs as well...

    I thought Walls went to prep school, not JUCO?

    I think both. He had a route almost as long as Gerald Williams's.
