We had a good run under Pelini with Coach Sims from Fort Scott JUCO - I always thought Pelini should have hired Sims to be his recruiting coordinator. Lavonte David, Hardrick, Kinnie, Jean-Baptiste, and a few others. You can't just go to some JUCO's and get the right guys. You need to know some and have a relationship.. usually kids are there for a reason, so there's a need to figure out which ones will adjust to playing P5 ball

I agree it would be a red flag under most circumstances, but Riley's last class has been all but obliterated. We need bodies that can help right away to fill that void
Dejon Gomes is another one who was a major contributor.
I expect us to take at least 4 JUCO's this year and hopefully more.
So does Bill Snyder.
I just mean that 5-6 would be twice what they planned on signing and would signal striking out on their top guys and wanting to fill with juco guys.
I don't see how both linebacker spots aren't carried over into '21 as priority positions of need. They've whiffed hard there this year. A juco guy they're trying to get involved with is Tyrus Wheat out of Co-Lin C.C. He's committed to Mississippi State and originally from Louisiana, so he might be inclined to play in the Southeast. I like him though, he'd be a good juco pickup.
As for spacing out the roster, it seems Frost is okay with building from the HS level and letting the roster space out naturally through that tactic over 3-4 classes. It's preferred if you know you're getting the time and patience from the AD to build like that - which is certainly the case with Frost.
Snyder lived off of it year after year it was his blueprint then again he was a great college football coach unlike Callahan.

Top 50 JUCOs. #2 considering NU!
Wasn’t Stanley Jean Baptiste a JUCO as well?
Technically yes. He was at a JUCO for one year, but I don't think he ever played in a game for the JUCO team.
and Frost's first class.
Bingo. Means we are whiffing on getting “his guys”.
The point in bringing in a JUCO is to help now, not give them a year or two to get ready.
what concerns me is frost has taken 4-5 juco's since his arrival and not one has contributed meaningfully so why would we think he is going to improve his batting average???
Just save the scholarships and hope he can recruit better talent in 2021
