'26 JUCO DL Jaylen Thomas (WVU)

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Tells me they fitna go bonkers in the porthole. Which, warms my heart.

I hope so. They went young this year and it hurt us with Moi and Hobbs being injured. I hope that isn’t the plan next year because we could take around 8 freshmen DL.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Hate it for the kid. Hope he ends up somewhere and finds success.

Kind of wish we still grabbed this guy but maybe post Jamal Wallace we are done with JUCO bigs

Idk personally I like JUCO

It looks like they’re trying to add more HS DTs more than anything. Not against that at all.

But we need to use the transfer portal for sure.

I've been pointing this out. If there's more money to spend in recruiting this year, and clearly there is...

I don't. When I hear juco, I think not so bright and/or lazy and undisciplined in the classroom. If a kid is that way in one area of his life, he likely will be that way in a football program.

If, and it's a big if, this staff is spot on with their evals. My expectations are low in this area.

I can understand questioning the number of players they take via portal, but I can't understand questioning their portal evals.

Pretty much every portal player they have taken has been a contributor.

Huh. What a limited viewpoint of people

This dude is the most negative of all negative posters in RF. It’s his thing. No one is that negative all the time without being committed. A fan maybe but either way he’s trolling. Look at the title under his name.

You have any clue the names on UT all time great players started in juco? Mims. Kamara. Dale Carter. Chuck Smith. Charlie Garner. LL. CP..
Aguilar was juco. He lead the SEC in passing and represented UT very well. He’s also not dumb or lazy.
What a crap post. You don’t know jack **** about much of anything.

You see the possibility of him being committed? Don’t know where they send them now!!!!!!

It has to be a bit, or he is the most negative person who has ever lived.

I always like getting guys from JUCO who could step and contribute immediately - especially on the line of scrimmage. But with portal nowadays we can pick up experienced players from other schools. Hate to see JUCOs being left out because that was always a great opportunity for guys who weren’t quite ready academically for college…we’ve had some great ones over the years…Byron Young comes to mind…

 

[Orangeburst]

Chris Mims was one of my faves ever
and DC of course

 

[utvolmaniac]

Dude
Please pipe down and look at UT’s history of landing some terrific players from JUCO over the years.
