Looks like you have about 25 JC players on your roster. Is that typical for you guys?
Looking at their recruiting for the last few years, they seem to recruit about 20 JUCOs a year, and only a few Freshmen;
http://tinyurl.com/phfcbjuJust looking at recruiting, I'd guess the number of JUCOs on the roster is closer to 50 than 25. I'm guessing that they also have a fair number of transfers from bigger programs that choose an FCS school so that they don't have to sit out a year. The combination works, though. Recruit a ton of JUCOs, and then keep the roster full using transfers.
We have 26 JC transfers and 13 FBS transfers, plus a few walk ons who transferred from other institutions but weren't recruited athletes. Several have been in our program for three years and one will be in our program for four years when it's said and done. We do heavily recruit JCs and take a targeted number of FBS guys, but we sign our fair share of high school kids as well. Many of our best players were recruited and signed by us out of high school.
To answer ytownbobcat's question ... it has become typical since Ron Roberts took over as head coach following the 2011 season. He's a product of the California JC system as a player, and has strong ties there, not to mention other JC systems around the country. He recruited JCs heavily while the head coach at D-II Delta State and continued the trend here. So far, it's worked out great and we've had very few problems. The kids we've taken have been good in the class room as well as in community and have represented our program well.
