And the reason you sign and place is because you are virtually assured of getting that prospect 2 years later if you still want them. JUCOs know they will only continue to get sign-and-place guys if the college feel confident they can get them back in 2 years. So if other schools aren't offering a HS player because he won't qualify and you have room, it can be a great way to get a legit talent that you otherwise might not.
I gave you a list of guys it has worked out for. It's a pretty good list, and that's just since Mullen has been here. It has proven to be a pretty good strategy. Offering a guy you don't really want just because he's going to qualify is not a good strategy.
