I think FAU is going to start to find that bringing in JUCO guys who can play right away will give the team a real competitive advantage. So many great high school players go the JUCO route, mature both physically and more importantly mentally, and then turn into great college players. I would like to see FAU start to look more at JUCOs as an option for adding talent in areas of need.

GO OWLS!!!

Agree,

But I dont want to go the Troy route of oversigning and plugging people into the JUCO system. If we have a need and 2-3 guys are out there thats great. Just dont want to make that our recuriting basis.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

I think that strategy is about to get closed down. Weve all seen the SEC and even the NCAA put limits now (REAL limits not this Grayshirt loophole stuff) on number of signees.

It was a great strategy and Troy used it to great effectiveness but I dont think its going to be viable any more.

What I think FAU should do is take players that made the mistake of leaving Florida to go to Iowa State, Minnesota, etc with open arms. 

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Okay I see…but in a situation like this yr I'd love to have a Juco O-linemen or 2…I think we are great at producing talent in certain areas QB. WR. TE, etc but on the defensive side I wish we looked to Juco a little more…didnt we have a 3 star CB a couple yrs ago who ended up going to a JUCO for academic reasons then we just kinda gave up on him.

It makes sense to take JUCOs to fill needs, not to simply fill the roster. If there is a hole that needs to be plugged bring in a JUCO to the job. (I know I am setting you up with this one Walty  ;))

I have seen many an occasion where a JUCO or transfer comes in and makes a huge impact right away. Southern Illinois, a perennial 1AA powerhouse seems to always bring in guys to fill needs. Whether they are transfers from bigger programs or JUCO programs. They come in, compete, and in most cases see the field right away and make a tremendous impact. These are difference makes, not guys who just fill space on the roster.

GO OWLS!!!

Grey Shirt, Red Shirt.
Juco, or out of state transfer.
Tall, or a little Short.

I Don't Care.

Fly the kid down, get him in the locker room with Payne, and put pads on the kid.  Get him on the field and lets see what he can do….

Love what the new coaching staff is doing…apparently no one was real happy with the product that was on the field this past Spring…and they are making changes, hopefully to make us better.

Nice to see that he returns kicks as well.  Hopefully he'll be Forrest Gump good on those.
