Tulane head football coach Bob Toledo would like to sign a junior college player, or two. But, he knows at Tulane that is not possible, at least in football.
Toledo said, "it is virtually impossible to get a junior college player, we don't accept some of their units. And, a kid is not going to come here and lose a year of credits. He would rather go somewhere else."
Toledo said he is quote "not a big junior college guy" , but a few exceptions might help the Tulane football program.
Think about it. At LSU, the Tigers had a need at wide receiver and signed Demetrius Byrd. Byrd was a big producer in 2007.
Next Wednesday, on signing day, watch and see how many jucos are signed by Conference USA schools. I keep hearing from Tulane fans, "we should be able to compete in this league." It sounds good, but the coach at Tulane knows that jucos give his opposition an edge.
