I understand where you are coming from. I don't think you'll see VT go JUCO for QBs often. Find holes, fill holes, develop talent. As far as OL, they are so hit-or-miss that I don't see the downside of supplementing w/ some JUCO's.

Tom Herman's first QB at Houston was a JUCO kid from the same school, and Brewer was a transfer himself. We have quite a few young OL I can't wait to see developed.

It's wild how quickly the concerns about recruiting have changed, for the good.

This. I agree, if you only rely on JUCO kids, there can be problems. But behind Jerod Evans stands Dwayne Lawson with 3 years of eligibility and Joshua Jackson with 4.

Don't look now but our recruiting ranking has shot up to 26th according to 247. Fuente basically cut it in half in the span of 2 weeks.

I think we are having our cake and eating it, too. We are securing those guys who are going to step in and play immediately and contribute and then we are also getting in those guys who aren't going to be ready right away but in a couple years week be able to step in and be playmakers.

It's like signing Cam Newton who is ready now and at the same time signing a Deshaun Watson, who will need a couple years to be ready. You're making sure the present and future are accounted for in the same swoop.
