Can we just change their name to Kent State Golden Transfers?  Maybe their logo can be a bus that prints out tickets good for 2 years from the date of issue?

We have all been pumped up for JUCO's that have chosen Athens, so it's highly hypocritical of us to rip on Kent for doing the same.  I'm not a fan the JUCO route sometimes, but it is part of college sports.  I'm just tired of losing any good recruit (or games) to Kent or Akron. 

The difference in enrollment requirements is one reason that Kent, BG and Akron can sign so many. I had a list of of kids I see every year. The problem is that Ohio has a bit more rigorous academinc requirements than many of their MAC counterparts. If I were a kid playing basketball looking at options I would most certainly have a few MAC schools on my list.

I really dont see a lot of those who were not academically ready for college and heading for JUCO sitting at study tables saying " I am really going to bust my arse here at Lowly Community College so I can get into a really fine institution of higher learning"....hell no.... They are more likely to say..."Kent and BG wlll take me with a 2.000198 and 8 pe courses, I got this....les go hoops baby"  I have not actually done the comparision, I just know what I have heard from players and coaches around the circuit. Oh ....and before we forget.....Senderhoff was one of those guys that had a certain IU recruit enrolled in 12 credit hours of PE before his transfer to SEO.

You get to PLAY at a JUCO too.  Unless you go to a school with a revolving door *coughcough* you don't have an opportunity to get quality minutes until your sophomore or junior year.

Is it any better that they start here and then vanish?
