Is a Junior College Right for You?
By Andrea Emmons
2008 graduates are getting antsy in the recruiting process right now if they aren’t signed; and rightly so! One option that not enough student-athletes consider is the Junior College. It’s not just an out for those with low grades or test scores. I actually attended a Junior College for my first two years of play. I cannot say enough about the positive experiences and development I gained during my two years at a JUCO. I was able to start right away, attend NJCAA Nationals, and go on to earn a scholarship at a four year school. In addition to all that, I developed as a player and a person. I would not have been as successful had I went straight to a four year school. There are so many benefits to this option.

I picked the game up quick, but still needed a lot of work going into college. Read More >>
