I used to believe that there was no place for JUCO players (students) at GA Tech.
Now that college football is the wild, wild west; bring on the JUCO players.
350lb linemen can certainly plug running lanes. They make good running backs on 4th and 1 as well!

I thought we were hamstrung by transferable credits, and progress towards degree requirements? In other words , JUCO credits would not transfer so they could not satisfy progress towards degree requirements.

May get them for just one year with ease of transfer. The Hill would usually not accept them in the past. Standards don't mean as much these days. Some of the transfers might be successful if they get serious about their classwork.
Are we moving to a system where players represent the school but do not need to be enrolled. Seems we are getting closer and closer to that model. Let's face it, college sports, FB and BB, are professional minor leagues now. JUCO transfers were not an option at Tech in the past. What changed?

Isn't Pavia going into his 8th year? How can anyone have progress requirements over that period of time?
