All-Time list of JUCO/transfers at Michigan?

Trying to assemble a stat of how many transfers to Michigan there have been, and how many JUCO players there have been. Please contribute if you know or have any ideas and I could look them up in the Bentley databse. So far, I have the following.

Russell Shaw WR 1996-1997 Los Angeles, CA Locke - El Camino C.C. (JUCO)
Spencer Brinton QB 2001-2004 Hemet, CA San Diego State
Grant Mason CB 2004-2005 Pontiac, MI Stanford
Austin Panter LB 2007-2008 El Dorado, KS Kensington Butler C.C. (JUCO)
Steven Threet QB 2007-2008 Adrian, MI Georgia Tech

It's a lot more difficult to transfer credits for JUCO courses than it is from four-year schools.

when the list was two Jucos and two transfers from 4 year schools. Admissions is very picky about giving credit for classes taken elsewhere. Players going the Juco route are not often going to have enough transferable credits to be eligible.

Loads of regular students transfer from JUCO's to U-M every year.  Basically, if they are taking real college classes (not remedial math/english or basket weaving 101) their credits will transfer (GPA doesn't).

The low number of transfers is more a coaching staff preference than an admissions issue (though a lot of the academically risky guys who end up at JUCO's in the first place probably aren't able to successfully complete an actual college curriculum in two years).  Schools like Berkeley (Aaron Rodgers) and USC (Morgan Breslin this year stands out) have had success with a few JUCO guys, so I don't think academics are really much of a barrier.  All the coaches we've had have just preferred 4 year guys.  Another thing may be a lack of JUCO's that play high end football in the midwest compared with California and the odd hotbeds like Mississippi and Kansas.

It is spelled HOKEAMANIA.  Our coach is an ass-kicking American citizen, not one of the Beatles, for Christ's sake!

Hoke took five Jucos in his last class at SDSU. RR took four in his last class at WVU.

We've had plenty of holes, especially during coaching transitions. Out of many, we filled one with a Juco, Russell Shaw. Jucos who are UM level football recruits and oustanding students are rare. The other Juco we took, Austin Panter, fit that description and Carr was happy to recruit him as a two year player. I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying Admissions is the reason we don't recruit more Jucos.

Those regular students that transfer Juco credits to UM aren't a good comparison. They mostly come from CCs in Michigan. UM is more willing to accept their classes and their students can know in advance which classes to take/avoid. Regular students don't have a problem if one or two of their classes don't transfer, (and remedial math is a common example). while athletes have to have a minimum number of credits transfer to be eligible. Also nearly all Juco athletes are there because of academic concerns and will typically need remedial courses.

I agree with your last point. If there were strong football programs in Michigan CCs we would likely have seen a few more Jucos here.

Granted, Michigan doesn't take a lot of transfers in general, but keep in mind that in the last few years, we pursued Greg Paulus and DeAnthony Arnett both as transfers, so it seems we'd have no problem taking guys like that.

Wasn't there a TE who transferred to UM around 2005 or soa after doing a Mormon mission? I thought that was Brinton but you have him listed as a QB so I must be thinking of somebody else.

Jonathan Goodwin was from South Carolina, but was on the Ohio U roster before transferring to Michigan.  Not sure why he went to OU first; his big brother Harold Goodwin had graduated and was on the staff at EMU by the time Jonathan arrived.  Note that Harold is now the OL coach for the Indianapolis Colts.

Justin Kurpeikis' (PSU)  big brother Chris was on the Michigan roster for one season (1995) after being at Notre Dame.  Don't know if he ever played.

Me.

I was a fairly avid partier in high school and despite good SAT scores I sported a whopping 1.7 GPA at Cranbrook and didnt get in initially.  Spent two years at CMU, got my GPA up to a 3.8 and transferred in for my Junior year and earned my degree a year later.

Oh....you meant athletes.  Sorry - never mind.

Your parents got a financial break when you left Cranbrook and enrolled in college.

My late father used to like to remind me and all his friends of that fact every time the subject of my education came up.

Wisconsin - Michigan

He was required to transfer by the Marine Corps for the V12 program during WWII. So not a transfer in the traditional sense.

Also:

Len Ford: Morgan State University - Michigan

Both are in the NFL HOF

I think the war or military service may have played a factor in a lot of players decision making. Two others from that era are renaissance man Don ZanFagna who transeferred from Army and Howard Yerges, a transfer from none other than Ohio St.

Heston has to be the best of this group. He went to San Jose Normal before following Yost to 'M'.

What is your point here?  This is kind of a pointless thread.  How about someone delete crap like this rather than things that actually matter or are interesting?  I mean, its just a thought.

NOT posting about how we hate MSU, so somebody has to post something about something or we may actually have to go back to doing our jobs.
