Once he gets out of 2 year, with all it's challenges...he is a still more of a known quantity...athletically, academically...And he is now a 2 year risk to me, not a 4 year one.

I do not necessarily agree. Coaches look to fill in gaps with Juco players and will continue to do so. If it is a top program, that player has to also be a top player from the 2 year program that he has come from. If that JUCO player is that good or talented, he usually won't be available due to the draft.
One year JUCO players Often does not have enough credits to transfer to D1 programs. Remember a JUCO player now will have to be eligible by the fall, not spring.
If it was that easy, you would find many more JUCO players in 4 year programs.
