What is JUCO?

[@us2745]

My grades are good, they aren’t the problem. Just started playing late into my high school years so I didn’t get the same time to develop. I was hoping Juco would be a good place to hone my skills and game.

[@robertcammock2239]

Finally someone explains what Juco is. Have been confused about this for some years now especially with all these different athletes going there for college.

[@Primeletics]

Robert Cammock Had to break it down! It’s a great option!

[@kennethbailey3043]

Thank you. I also had sour taste in my mouth about Juco. My son needs to go to a Juco school for maturity, grades and baseball.

I keep hearing that aside from Florida, Texas had a lot of good teams. I’m from what I hear it’s still really competitive

[@aaronanderson8268]

@@Primeletics it’s still good basketball but not on the same level as it was from the 90’s to early 2010’s. The league produced guys like Sam Cassell, Steve Francis, Jimmy Butler, as well as hundreds of guys that went on too play overseas and for major universities

I’m from England and I’m moving to New York in 2023 for college, I’m thinking of starting at juco then transferring after 2 years to a 4 year college, I want to play basketball there to refine my skills so I can play at college level, do you think this is the right thing for me to do?

[@Primeletics]

Absolutely. Plenty of opportunities to get recruited out of JUCO as well

[@Fluidz]

thinking about going to juco because of a horrible GPA after not taking school seriously freshman/sophomore/jr year. the juco i wanna go to (NDSCS) also has a perfect two year program to get a degree i want, which isn’t offered at any other juco with football in my state

[@Primeletics]

You should reach out to them and see then. If you need to get your grades up then this is the perfect situation for you. Going Juco is having that second chance

[@nolimitwit]

Hi, wanted to ask if it's a must for one to have a high school GED or Diploma to get into JUCO and what if one doesn't have any of those ??

[@Primeletics]

You can have a highschool diploma or GED. You just have to finish highschool. If you don’t have either then you’re stuck

[@cjski7684]

I have a question , so like I'm a senior and I play high school football but I dont get alot of play time and I dont have offer & de but I wanted to start the process of WR because like im fast and skill with catching ,im 6'2 and 173 Lbs and skinny is it possible I can play Wr in juco ? is it possible I can change my Position to wr before I try to get accepted in to juco?

[@Primeletics]

Yes, you can still go Juco. Your best bet is to start researching jucos now and reaching out to coaches so that way you’re on their radar right now.

[@tjcab2042]

Big question, my grades where perfect in highschool and I’ve been a 4 year varsity starter as a kicker, I was kicking up to par with other d1 guys then I tore my acl causing me to have no film. Is it smart for me to go to juco to get that exposure that I couldn’t from my senior year?

[@therubygamer2130]

What is the success rate of going D1 from juco and is exposure better then highschool

[@Primeletics]

I don't know the official success rate but it's not easy. People going to juco are not that for a lack of talent so it's tough competition still. The good thing about it is that the transfer portal is helping Juco rise. It is better exposure than highschool especially if you don't live in a city with great exposure or play on a high profiled AAU team. Juco exposure is unreal.

[@Thatsreallyk3]

Wait so I would start emailing juco coaches before I graduate or I could wait till after?

[@Primeletics]

You should email them before you graduate so that way you can get on their radar and maybe even get offered

[@Thatsreallyk3]

@@Primeletics okay thanks

[@freeman5259]

@PRIMELETICS you forgot about the CCCAA in California and the National Club Football Association.

[@freeman5259]

@PRIMELETICS. My College Football Recruiting Playbook for Walk-ons (Cheat code) Depending on your situation (it ALL DEPENDS), read a few pages from my walk-on playbook and REMAIN IN-STATE (temporary), attend an in-state junior college in the summer term, and COLLECT THOSE FAFSA REFUND CHECKS!💰🤑. It's cheaper. You can then travel🛫 and tryout for many NCAA Division 1 junior varsity teams (FCS level), or the NCAA D2 level, or the NCAA D3 level, or the NAIA (junior varsity teams) or BYU-Idaho competitive sports, or University of Notre Dame interhall sports, or The NCCAA, or the USCAA, or the CCCAA (JUCO in California), or the NJCAA (JUCO), or Prep schools like Milford Academy, or Collegiate Development Football League (PlayCDFL), or the CSFL sprint football League (New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft played in the CSFL), or NCAA club football (Collclubsports). You will be INELIGIBLE to compete at the college level if you already played for a Semi-Pro/adult amateur team in the past (except if you ONLY practice with the team and DON'T COMPETE, you are eligible). One more thing, According to the Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athletes and the NCAA Transfer Guide, if you are a NCAA qualifier, that means if you graduated high school on time with a high school diploma, earned a 2.3 high school G.P.A. or better, complete all of your high school core courses with a C average or better, have qualifying standardized test scores (SAT or ACT national test), YOU CAN TRANSFER from a JUCO to a university after ONE SEMESTER or ONE QUARTER as a FULLTIME college student in the FALL🏈🦃 or SPRING⚾🌻(SUMMER SCHOOL DOESN’T COUNT🌊🏖🌞); versus spending THREE FULL-TIME SEMESTERS or THREE FULL-TIME QUARTERS in Junior College, and you are required by the NCAA to graduate from a junior college with an A.A. degree🎓 (SUMMER SCHOOL DOESN’T COUN’T🏖) (NCAA non-qualifier). NCAA qualifiers have 5 calendar years of NCAA eligibility to complete 4 seasons of competition 📆(without redshirting). An NCAA non-qualifier will AUTOMATICALLY lose ONE YEAR of NCAA eligibility. NCAA Non-qualifiers will only get 4 calendar years of NCAA eligibility to complete 3 seasons of competition 📆(without redshirting) AFTER full-time enrollment in college; That’s messed up!😞 Your NCAA eligibility clock ⌚ begins after you enroll AND attend the FIRST DAY OF CLASSES in the FALL🏈🦃 or SPRING⚾🍀 semesters or quarters as a FULLTIME college student😒 (SUMMER DOESN’T COUNT🏖)! You are free to change your schedule accordingly BEFORE your classes start in the fall or spring semester or quarter. NCAA doesn’t care if you matriculate fulltime in college during the SUMMER semesters or quarters (it doesn't matter what college you attend). Your NCAA eligibility clock WILL NOT START🚫 in the SUMMER🏐🌡🏖😁; Part-time enrollment or fulltime enrollment in the summer, it doesn’t matter! The NCAA Division 1 clock⌚ will not postpone for fulltime college students and it will CONTINUE TICKING⏳ until it expires (except for active military duty, religious missions or other extreme extenuating circumstances BEYOND YOUR CONTROL). You can only have 2 years of eligibility📆 (maximum) at the junior college level. The JUCO level doesn’t have an eligibility clock, junior college eligibility is calculated by seasons of competition you’ve already used. You can redshirt at the JUCO level. And don’t feel bad if you fail to academically qualify for the NCAA Division 1 level on the first try. You can still become an NCAA qualifier if you NEVER matriculate full-time in college IN THE PAST (FALL🏈 or SPRING⚾ semesters or quarters only) (SUMMER DOESN’T COUN’T🏖). Is that so?🤔 Let’s think about it, a part-time load of studies (less than 12 TRANSFERABLE credit hours per semesters or quarters in the fall or spring), again I say, it doesn't matter what college you attend! It’s called GREYSHIRT! All prospective NCAA Division 1 student athletes must complete 40% of progress (AFTER your 2ND year of fulltime enrollment), 60% of progress (AFTER your 3rd year of fulltime enrollment), and 80% of progress (AFTER your 4th year of fulltime enrollment) towards a BACHELOR’S Degree; that’s a timeframe of 8 FULLTIME CONSECUTIVE semesters or quarters in a 5 YEAR PERIOD, YOU CAN’T GO BEYOND THAT! (NCAA 40-60-80 rule). NCAA non-qualifier who wants to EARN a 4th season of competition AFTER OPTING IN a redshirt year, MUST complete 80% of progress towards a BACHELOR’S DEGREE (AFTER your 4th year of fulltime enrollment). By the way, the maximum transferable courses you can take at the JUCO level is 90 credit hours (they are called units in California). You need 60 transferable credit hours to GRADUATE from a 2 year college and THEN MOVE ON to a 4 year college (NCAA D1-A/FBS rules). Some junior college programs, especially in Mississippi, Kansas or Texas, ONLY takes you about one year to graduate. Rio Salado Online Community College (Arizona) can help you accelerate your progress even faster. Class starts EVERY MONDAY! They have 16-week sessions, 14-week sessions, and 8-week sessions. You can take a few 8-week, 14-week or 16-week courses in the winter❄⛄. Arizona State University used them all the time to get their players eligible for competition. Rio Salado doesn’t have an athletic program. Fun fact! Your junior college G.P.A. is locked in🔒 after graduation, it won’t change unless you transfer to a 4 year college. Moreover, a Greyshirt year (a part-time OR three-quarter time college student in the fall or spring, SUMMER DON'T MATTER) gives you a more competitive advantage long-term over a high school recruit in the college recruiting process. Oh really, what do you mean🤔? For example, the NCAA has a delay enrollment rule that allows a prospective student athlete (incoming freshman or a walk-on who have not yet enrolled in college as a fulltime student) to use a gap year, delay initial full-time enrollment and COMPETE for a NON-COLLEGIATE (AMATEUR) OUTSIDE TEAM for one academic year after graduating high school. AFTER that one year window expires⏳, the student athlete MUST enroll in college as a fulltime student at the FIRST opportunity he or she gets. Now here's the fun part, let’s say you do choose to compete, you can compete as a GREYSHIRT at a post-graduate/prep school (Milford Academy) or at a college club team (any college that doesn't offer your sport at the varsity level, only the club level; George Mason University) for ONE CALENDAR YEAR🗓 AFTER HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION🎒🎓. After that, you will lose NCAA eligibility for EVERY YEAR you continue to compete for that team AFTER your gap year window expires. NCAA non-qualifiers are NOT ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE for a college club team, excluding intramurals. Back in my day, the rules used to be "until after your 21st birthday🎂", but the NCAA change the rules in year 2011 and thereafter. While in your delay enrollment gap year, you can retake the SAT or A C T standardized test to improve your sub-scores, simultaneously enroll in college level courses (developmental/remedial classes don’t matter), a financial aid package with state grants and scholarships and federal student loans included; the college will disburse you a financial aid refund check💰 (sometimes via direct deposit) AFTER every (fall and spring) semesters or quarters you are enrolled in classes after 30 days of attendance and your college expenses are paid already (only if there's money left over for you) (summer depends on if you haven't enrolled in the fall or spring yet), earn a college degree or certificate, become an NCAA qualifier, "GREYSHIRT" at a community college or a university or any institution that offers you an education BEYOND high school, and then matriculate fulltime AFTER you make the college varsity active roster. That’s awesome! 😎

You should be able to go to any school. It depends on the community college. Different community colleges have different guidelines. Some schools require international students to have a sponsor and proof of $10k in a bank account. Others will require you to take a test and get a 70% on it. You can reach out to the coaches at the colleges and they will know all the details. Some schools might not require anything.
