I guess it's easier than going out, finding talent, recruiting the, and then developing them to fitting into your program and philsophy!

Like a lot of new head coaches winning brings recruits and you do that fastest with JUCO players....look at the great rebuilding job done at Baylor....on a foundation of JUCO players...
