How many of our recruits are academically qualified to play as freshmen?

I can't really speak to the Patriot League's official stance on JUCO's but it wouldn't surprise me if they frowned upon it. But I don't see that stopping Jones from bringing in an immediate impact JUCO like he did with Buscaglia, Stokes, Boyd, and Draughn. Even the international big men Cresnik and Petrauskas came in as sophomores.

While Jones does not need to rely on JUCO's any longer as his recruiting contacts have been built back up, one here or there definitely helps to balance out the squad and/or fill an immediate need a freshman can't always provide. If Jones brings in a JUCO with the last ship it is because he needs an immediate impact player for the rotation next season.
