NRPMom... great post! My son, too, has finished his two years at a JUCO with virutually all of his classes being transferrable. His conference was the same as yours, NRPMom. AND, like your son, he is moving on to a great D1 school.
I have gotten EXTREMLY irritated and tired over the years with the assumption that he went the JUCO route because he was somehow intellectually inferior. He is not.
I have also grown tired of the assumption that ALL JUCOs over recruit. That was NEVER the case at my son's JUCO. In the two years he was there, there was maybe 40 players in the fall... probably more like 35.
D1s, D2s, or D3s are obviously great options out of high school; however, JUCOs are also a great option as well!
