This is an updated list of them. Nebraska seems to be on the lookout for "quick fixes" with this. It certainly looks like they're making a move on some decent talent to help them improve. I never heard of the #1 ranked JUCO DE, Louis Holmes. Arizona gets a monster. I think you'll hear from the Wildcats. Who knows? They could make a run for a bowl game....
Anyway, Brett Schaeffer, whichever big school he decides to go to, I think that he'll be a big help.

JUCO Transfers

Why not? I think that would be the smartest move for him. Think about it Brent! You step in to an awesome situation. Texas has so many players returning, and I'd think they would be even more dominant than USC was last year had Vince Young returned. So if he steps into Austin, dons the burn orange and white, they'd be the favorites to win the NC again, IMO.

When I met Mack Brown/when I went to his football camp and sat there with 500 other wannabes, he said he never recruits Juco's because "he's had trouble with them in the past"
OU won a National Championship with a guy from Snow Junior College. That's always a good juco, because they get a lot of the talented mormons that want to play for two years, then go on their mission, and when they get back, they're literally men amongst boys.

Most JUCO's go to JC because they didn't have the grades to make it through the clearinghouse. It isn't because they didn't have the talent. Some could be smart enough to make it, but don't apply, some aren't college material (the usually don't make it to D-1) and some are kids who have had a rough time and will take advantage of the chance. You can build a program with JUCO talent. Kirk Ferentz did it at Iowa. JUCO's aren't around long, but they do give teams trying to climb the hill a good first step.

I agree with that 100%. It takes a while to build depth, that needs to come through the recruiting classes. Plus the chemistry is always changing. You can't rely on too much of them because they leave in 1 or 2 years, then whoever is going to fill that role is questionable. JUCOs are probably the way to get a program started, considering some are decent enough. I think Schaeffer was able to qualify at Tennessee, he just didn't want to get involved with the Ainge/Claussen QB battle. Had Schaeffer been there in 2005, I think the Vols would've been much better.

That be him, I did not know which college he came from but I do remember we had a time getting him academically eligible
That is the big problem with JUCO's. It isn't that they didn't have the talent to play D-1 in the first place, it is they don't have the grades. Getting them eligible and keeping them eligible can be tough.
