I don't know Bob that's a good question. I would hope many.

But just as important, coach should have a plan and player should ask what it is.  Bringing in a boatload of transfers doesn't always cut it.

The plan is to get the best players that can help their program.  If I'm  a coach, do I go after a Covid JUCO Player, who already has 2 years of college life, lets say (70 games) in 2 years, and has 4 yrs of eligibility Or a HS Player.

Note, we haven't done a deep review of the juco pipeline, but on quick glance it looks like the numbers have been increasing since 2019.

As we are all aware, the 2021 season allowed the 4 yr schools to have unlimited roster, thus many took advantage of the opportunity.

Note, as the JUCO coaches have improved their relationships with the 4 yr programs, they can easily sell a more finished product to a 4 yr school.

IMHO, The live streaming of JUCO games, provides a clear advantage of a players characteristic vs a HS players showcasing.
