Powel gets it IMO opinion but if he wasn't a JUCO transfer and just coming out of highschool I wouldn't pick him. The JUCO part gives that easement with the pick that he earned that much more awareness & is ready.

I know what the original OP was getting at, any new imcoming impact recruit. I was just implying if the JUCO wasn't an option I'd have a hard time picking a true freshman candidate.

You say Daniels for example. I thought so as well than I remembered how much KF loves walkon stories and his fear of sharing the rock so I figure we'll run Weisman like a rented mule before LeShun touches the rock for the powerback position. By impact I'm not talking KO coverage and since I don't see Law or Miller losing their spot due to previous years of seniority usually winning out I couldn't pick Warfeild or Rucker unless Rucker wins the KR battle which also in my mind will be tough since I feel like Cotton has the one spot locked & there are a ton of candidates.

Hence Id have a tough choice to pick ONE true freshman recruit impact player.

Historically, the Big 10's not been big on JUCOs so it's interesting that 5 of Wiltfong's 12 "impact players" are JUCOs. I can't help but wonder if this is a sign that's something changing? Illinois took 6. Even Ohio State signed one.
