I figured I should make this it’s own thread. I saw this post on Twitter, and I’m still laughing!
For those of you who are young whippersnappers, that 2002 class was an utter disaster. At the time, Dan McCarney was riding the crest of the 2000 season and Insight.com Bowl win.
He said at the time that he had to decide between taking California high school kids—they were getting great reception from that quarter at the time—or going for the quick fix with junior college kids.
He chose…poorly.
Yep, they signed a bunch of gaudy JC players (nine of the 21), many of whom either never made it to campus, or didn’t stick.
This was one of about three major gaffes that led to McCarney’s downfall.
Even more, it’s the reason I’m absoluteluly tickled that CMC has recruited minimal JC players.
