after all the sunshine we've pumped on Duvall's strength progam, we have to see it as a big loss that Canty won't be a part of it for his first couple years of college as a matter of logical consistency

I agree with this. IF Duvall's program is as impressive as we expect, Canty will be hard pressed to make it here. Those he will be competing against will have 3 years of S&C here. But the best of luck to the young man. I hope to see him here one day.
If he is down there like he is for academics he has to complete a two year AA degree. Yes he could accelerate to 18 months as many have.
Mote than not most kids who go the JUCO route end up at another four year school once they are eligible to transfer

So what your saying is we should pass on all JUCO transfers because they have missed out on the first two years of S&C with Duvall correct?
Which if that is what you are saying makes no sense what so ever.
no - if that's what I was saying, I would have written it.
Then what were you saying?
This is why I think you should over-sign by three every single year. It seems like there are always 1-3 guys who never make it to campus. And even if that doesn't happen you always have the unexpected departures.
well I'll resist the temptation to just (crtl-c) - (ctrl-v) my previous post even though it is precisely "What [I was] saying" and attempt to say the same thing with different words - because you asked
That - if the board's general sentiments about Duvall's program are true - not having him at NU to start his career is a much worse scenario for us than the alternative, and far from an "ho-hum ok see you in 2020"
Okay that is what I thought you said and for the record I disagree again.
Doubt we see him in 2020 anyway. Rare for a kid who goes JUCO to end up at the 4 year school he committed to originally
If Duval is as good as advertised he should be able to take a JUCO kid in mold him quickly especially if you can get him as a mid- year signee
agreed that we'll probably not see him in a Husker uniform
agree to disagree that 2-yr Juco + 2-3 yr DI is anywhere close to being as likely to produce a stud if you believe that your DI strength program, (not to mention program culture) is among the best in the nation

right - you seem to want credit a sentence like "studs (like LaVonte) don't come from JUCO" to me, but I never said that and it is a non-sequitur from anything that i've written in this thread
its all good

And Frost did that. I believe we were +3 before Baptiste flipped on signing day. We will do it again.
This day and age you are going to have washouts for one reason or another. Nobody's fault, it just IS. Oversign by 3 and take JUCO's where you can and boost (scholarship) your walkons when they earn it. The staff is quickly flipping this roster, blowing me away at the clip they are doing it too. They are as aggressive in changing the culture back to what we know as they are changing the scheme from Nice guy Riley to freaking fast Frost!
