Definitely think it’s part of it. When you don’t develop from within and have to go the juco route, there is something to that. I think even Pharm would agree that juco kids aren’t what they used to be as top players aren’t going the juco route to stay draft eligible anymore. There is usually a reason they have to go juco.
Not sure what you mean by “even Pharm” but I’m not sure the juco player can be that stereotyped. I do think fewer are choosing that path for draft eligibility purposes but my perspective is formed mainly by the central-south region of the country. Wouldn’t pretend to know about the coasts or the north.
