JUCO WR??

[LA_Mustang]

This morning on Norm's show Coach Bennett specifically mentioned that we are looking at a JUCO WR. Anyone have a name?

I've heard rumors of interest in several JUCO players, but I hadn't heard a WR. I'd heard 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 OLs, 1 DL and 1 LB.

Anyone have any more info?

I don't know who Coach Bennett was referring to, but here are two of the top JUCO receivers.

Paris Hamilton (6-2, 203, 4.37, 5-star player on insiders.com) of Tyler (Texas) Junior College was one of the camp surprises this spring and summer. He only caught 15 passes for 228 yards as a freshman, but went he ran a 4.37 at a Junior College Combine, his recruiting stock went off the board. So far, he hasn't named any favorites/top choices.

Brian Fry (6-5, 210, 4.51, 3-star player on insiders.com) of Cisco (Texas) Junior College is one of the biggest JUCO surprise in the Southwest Junior College Football Conference. At a recent JUCO Combine in Tyler, Texas he was very impressive making catches over smaller cornerbacks. As a freshman, he grabbed 25 balls for 491 yards. He has a lot of talent and he could end up as one of the top Texas JUCO recruits. He has listed Houstn, Baylor and TCU as his favorites (and he's been offered by all three), but don't expect that to deter Coach Bennett if that is in fact the guy he's targeting. Just ask former TCU commitment Jamey Harper.
