JUCO influence on Cats in 2008


As every Cat football fan knows, Scary Smart Ron Price went out and signed a HUGE number of JUCO transfers for the 2008 season. This quick band aid approach to fix what happened to the 2007 season (let it rest in peace) probably won't work, but I guess we'll wait and see.

When was the last time a JUCO transfer came into K-State and lit the world on fire? Deon Murphy, you can put your hand down.

It might have to be Jeff Kelly back in 1997, or possibly the great Michael Bishop. Although Bishop relied on his athleticsm to get him thru the first part of the season (1997). Even Darnell McDonald didn't jump out until the end of the 1997 season. Heck, Quincy Morgan redshirted.

What I'm getting at is this... there might be ONE player this year from the many that makes a decent immediate impact. Those odds aren't very good. Scary Smart is probably thinking AT LEAST 5 of these players will make an immediate impact.

I remember reading last summer about how great WR Ernie Pierce was going to be. Yeah, real great year there Ernie (6 receptions, 59 yards).
