Nice article. Here's hoping it all works out!

Revamping the roster with transfers and jucos? I count two transfers Levenberry, and Shirrefs, and one juco under Diaco. Bit of a stretch.

Yeah it's absurd to say Diaco is revamping their roster with juco and transfer players. Misleading title. It references Whitmer and Stewart who both came before Diaco. It also refers to Stewart as an anchor of the defense which is...questionable.

Kansas ST revamps their roster with those type of players...we added a couple.

In order to get where we need to be we SHOULD be looking at transfers and Jucos. That's what most top mid majors do

K-State has a whole minor-league system with regards to Juco transfers.

An occasional JUCO for position of dire need is OK like the new Juco QB but not sure if bringing in lot of JUCO guys who often are there because of grades is way to build if you want to be attractive to Big 10. If you look at Kansas State and UCONN profiles, our SAT scores are on average 250-300 points higher and we are more selective where K State lets almost anyone in with 96% acceptance rate. Probability is most of their JUCO's would not pass through admissions at UCONN and would struggle to stay eligible. Not saying we should never go JUCO route, just will need to be more selective as to when we do it and make sure that academics are strong enough that they will be able to last two seasons.

UCONN goes about the JUCO and transfer process the right way imo. Use them to fill needs and make sure character issues are where you want them to be (was there a better kid the Tyler L.?). Certainly do not want to overload the program with them.
