I'm doing a lil research and need some input....What are some advantages and also disadvantages at going JUCO rather than D2 or D3? Please answer with knowledge and honesty. And please don't use my questions to start pointing out this kid or that kid.

Juco is better it gives you a shot at earning a D-1 scholarship. Once your D-2 your stuck there. Also do your research there are more kids who started off at juco's and made it to theNFL then D-2 and D-3 put ttogether

A lot of kids that don't qualify academically go JUCO for a year to get their grades up and then transfer to a D1.  There are some very highly rated players that play JUCO because they don't have the grades coming out of HS.

Exactly.  Juco isn't some minor league college football curcuit.  I played D3 ball, and I never saw athletes in conference like I saw when we scrimmaged Kilgore or Cisco.  We scrimmaged against D linemen that played for Nebraska the next year.  Juco is serious business.  D2 does offer full scholarships, but D3 does not.  Guys that play D3 are simply playing because they love playing.  Every other level is trying to parlay 4 years of football into a scholarship or the NFL.

Or they didn't have the exposure or grades. Juco is serious comp and has a lot of hungry kids trying to make it to the next level. I played against Cam Newton when he was at Blinn talk about a man child.

I played at Trinity Valley and the talent we faced in league play was phenominal. This year TVCC has 10 kids going D1 so far including Kewan from Central goin to Memphis. What it allows is time to get grades up, get yourself in better shape for the next level, and mental preparation. It was an experience i will never forget!!!

Back in my days, JUCO was looked upon as an outlet for outlaw players to continue their education. What you actually have are some of the hungriest 7 best  players in JUCO with major D1 talent who didn't qualify. I had a high school buddy who ran back punts and kickoffs @ Kilgore.  He ended up at Univ. of Texas doing the same thing.

JUCO!!!!

Speaking of scrubs the good old buddy system exist in 4 year colleges to some degree. Many above average kids get left out of loop. Thank goodness that there are junior colleges for these kids.
[/quote]SO true. I hear the daddies are calling in favors now. Even though its a D1,  Reliable source says one dad had to be banned from practices. And I see why, his kid don't start as a freshman and plays minimum minutes. At least in some cases dads losing that power in college. Got'em let them go sooner or later and let their talent take them.

What amazes me is the amount of D1 players that transfer to NAIA schools. Where my son plays, they had 3 tranfer in for the spring semester.
[/quote] Probably got kicked out of D1 for student infractions most likely and #2 would be playing time, but less likely.

Student infractions I can agree with, but if it is playing time why not transfer to a FCS or D2. I am knocking NAIA, but  it is not the best place if you have dreams of playing on Sundays.

[/quote]We agree. Thats what I am saying, very unlikely you're going there for playing time. More than likely to a mid-level school for playing time.

    • I wish I was as “smart” as you, so that I would know everyone’s views, as you think you do.
    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
