Willie Atwood- 2014 JUCO PF

The more the merrier!  Wisconsin usually has 18 players in uniform.  Why can't we?

This is an excerpt from ESPN article from 2011, which mentions Jae and DJO:

For every junior college player who experiences high-level success with a Division I program, there are hundreds of others who don't.

Glance at the NJCAA's list of first-team All-Americans the last few seasons, and it's difficult to find players who went on to make significant contributions to teams from BCS leagues. Crowder, Johnson-Odom and Ricardo Ratliffe (Missouri) were solid in 2010. Casey Mitchell was part of West Virginia's Final Four squad the year before, and Derwin Kitchen arrived at Florida State in 2008.

There are always exceptions but, for the most part, teams that contend for league titles feature very few -- if any -- junior college players in their rotation.

Wait, I thought being a third team (21-30) Juco AA was like being a top 70 high school player and on up the ladder. Sorry, guess that was only in the Clark Francis/84/SJS bizzaro world. LOL.
