the JUCO's as a pipeline for unrecruited talent out of high school (I argue we should still recruit JUCO's).
It's my understanding that in the past FCS players had to sit out a year when transferring (like all Div. 1 athletes) whereas JUCO players could transfer in & play right away.
Now a kid can go FCS & use it as a springboard to the G6/P4's.
