[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 2636156, member: 70903"] A only matters for academic scholarships. Our issue in baseball is not fully funding athletic scholarships, its that everyone only has 11.7 and we don't get more if a kid lives off campus. I assume he meant that we can get 3 JUCO guys that will live off campus on academic scholarship for what 2 Freshman would take since its only tuition and not R&B for the JUCO guys - but that assumes you can find the JUCO guys that qualify for academics and still are good enough to play at TCU. B is not accurate - other than the fact that we can target kids from JUCOs that have high GPAs so they can get academic aid that is available to all upper classmen at TCU. A kid at TCU as a junior has the same shot at that money as a transfer student - so if we had a non-scholarship junior that had a 3.75 on the team, he would be able to earn the same aid that a transfer 3.75 student could. I think the point is you know more of what you get with a JUCO than a HS kid - both academically and hopefully performance on the field wise so its easier to target the right people even if the pool of players is smaller.
