Well, you haven't seen my NCAA 13 dynasty stats. PJ Smith has over 30 sacks and Stafford has 16 with 3 games to go. There's nothing like the Nickel Double Safety Blitz. The corners can't handle it the whole game, but it's still fun.
Got his 5th star today from 247. He is currently ranked as the #1 overall JUCO player in the country! My guess Ole Miss is the team he eventually ends up with, but we can hope!

The last week or two the thought has been he will commit to Mississippi....JUCO he goes to is their....and he is from the south....
They may be the best in the JUCO ranks, but are they really good enough to be quality contributors in a BCS conference?
I realize that's an impossible question to answer with certainty, but what's your impression?
Like you said, its hard to say for certain if a JUCO kid will translate his talent to the D1 level. Grades, attitude and work ethic are the reasons a lot of kids end up at the JUCO level out of HS in the first place. A kid from a JUCO brings different baggage and sometimes a different mindset all together than a HS kid will.
Looking at their film, each of the 5 JUCO DTs Nebraska has brought in for a visit seem like 'gamers'. There are examples of JUCO DTs thriving and being busts. In 2008, 5* JUCO stud Simi Kuli signed with Oregon State but never played for them. The other side of that coin would be a couple of DT studs from the 2011 class. Jesse Williams has started for Alabama for two years and Missouri DT Sheldon Richardson is going to be a high NFL draft pick.
He should be a pirate.
He should be a captain.
We absolutely NEED some of these JUCO DTs. DT recruiting has been nothing short of bad lately.
I disagree with this. We are seeing the results on the field now, of a recruiting class several years ago. There are young guys on this team that have all the potential to be great players. There has been a gap in recruits that have had an impact on the d-line, and we are seeing/feeling that gap right now. I do agree with the need of the JUCO DT's, we need some guys to help bridge that gap asap.
Last year was the first year where I really felt good about the DT class (VV and Curry).
Before that, and perhaps this year, we keep striking out.
