Should we expect to see graduate transfers and JUCOs to bolster the roster? Players who are mature and can come in and contribute without taking a redshirt season on the sideline.
Graduate transfers and JUCOs
- Thread starter Mr_Twister
- Start date
Hopefully, aggressively and not just a party line line "Yes". Immediate playing time.
Are you suggesting we keep doing what we're doing? Every successful program has graduate transfers and JUCOs.
Well, we've been getting grad transfers, but I don't remember JUCOs recently. I understand there are difficulties qualifying, but we need them in a bad way.
This route usually sounds good then produces little.
RU is not K state. Which is good bc a degree means something from Rutgers. Don't count on 5
The K-state mention is the extreme case. It is not unusual for even the best programs to save 2 or 3 spots of the 85 man roster to fill gaps. We have something more than gaps! Big 12 and PAC 12 have the highest numbers. An article ...

Would gladly take another RJ Dill.
True if the expectation is we'd be bringing in superstars. We need to plug holes to get us through next year (and maybe the year after) to take some pressure off of our underclassmen and to allow us to redshirt a few more kids than we otherwise would. In other words, let's try to a find an R.J. Dill, a Lew Toler, an Andrew Turzilli or even a Nick Marsh (who I nearly forgot about but we could desperately use). And if they don't work out as we hope/expect, at least they're adding some depth.
The type of grad transfer that RU needs is probably going to a school that will likely be going to a 'name' bowl. If you can get them past the admissions standards, jucos are the way to go. These should be starter types hoping to step-up in the level of competition to showcase their skills for NFL scouts. not easy, but they're out there.
Maybe not. You could be a good punter/kicker on a poor team, or a single good OLinemen on an OLine that underperformed as a unit, or something. Not looking for superstars - just need some people who have experience and can be consistent.
Rutgers staff could take a lesson or two from the Colorado staff who aggressively put together a winning roster ...
Colorado has at least a dozen JUCOs: DB Butler CC, QB Scottsdale CC, WR Coffeyville CC, WR East Central CC, LB Coffeyville, DB Diablo Valley CC, DB Sacramento City CC, OLB College of the Canyons, DE Foothill College, OL American River CC, WR Western State CC, DE American River CC. The WR from Coffeyville CC is NJ native and former Maryland WR Juwann Winfree. And this on top of transfers from Air Force, Westen Illinois, Pitt, Wyoming, Arizona State, Auburn.

With the three QB's transferring out and maybe a few more guys who see their playing time as non existent there is certainly room to pick up a few transfers. This staff knows what they need and I am confident they are all over it. Many transfers happen next semester. Hopefully linemen!!!
Good post, but bad point on Juwann Winfree. Thank god that kid didn't come here. What a headcase.
I keep reading here that RU's policies around JUCO credits are an obstacle. Assuming the student athlete earned 60 credits at his JUCO, but Rutgers only accepts 48 of them, or the athlete completes a summer course or two at RU to get to 48, then that athlete is eligible to play. I know of quite a few non-athletes who transferred into RU after JUCO and most of their credits were accepted. So is there really an issue with athletes or is that just an excuse?
HUH???!!! When was the last time you saw a JUCO come in and make an IMMEDIATE impact here? Typically their 1st season, almost the entire year, is spent adjusting to game day speed at this level. 5 JUCO's? Into RU in the same year? Lower your expectations my friends.
Now, transfers, especially 5th year guys, would be a huge A+ this off-season.
not sure what ur question is asking me. my comment was in regards to a poster saying he wanted 5 jucos. the discussion was centered around marfo. but i dont understand your question. sorry! :) what were u asking?
The problem they don't have the 48 credits that will transfer to RU. It is an issue, there is also a higher math requirement than some other schools.
The only JUCOs I remember making an impact were Darnell Stapleton and Cameron Stephenson.
