Reply to "JUCO, the good, the bad, and the ugly"

Two weeks ago, I spoke with a young man (RHP) who is a freshman at a very well respected, successful JUCO in Texas.  I feel somewhat sorry for him as his parents obviously don't read this board nor did they do much research for their son.  I think they were sold at the word "free."  He told me that 55 guys came out for the fall season including 12 D1 drop downs.  He was very surprised by the numbers especially the transfers.  When he told me that the pitchers work out and practice separately from the positions players, I was curious how they schedule the catchers (my son is a catcher).  He said the catchers are expected to be at both practices.  I asked how many of the 55 were catchers, and he said 6.  He said that three will be cut this fall and were really only brought in to catch bullpens.  Big wake up call for parents with catchers!!!!
