I'm looking at going to school in california next fall. I'm from Canada, and the cost of American universities is way more than what we have to pay up here. But i've been lookign at going to a Jr. College, such as Santa Barbara CC, or Irvine Valley College. I was also wondering what the caliber of play was at those jr. colleges. I compete on a NIRSA division 2 team, which won the DIvision 2 title 4 years ago, and lost to arizona in the Div 1 final the next year. So its a pretty good team. Just wondering what the Juco was like. thanks for the time. Paul

You might see an occasional stud in the WSAC (the league that SBCC, Irvine Valley, Golden West, etc. play in) who was a SoCal h.s./club superstar but didn't have the grades to get to a major program. But overall, I think the levels are similar. |

Thanks a lot for the information guys. Do these juco's offer any scholarships? And do lots of guys transfer after a year or 2 up to the NCAA schools?

Since most of these schools are in the California Community College system, I'm pretty sure scholarships are non-existent. In-state tuition is pretty cheap though, like 15 bucks per credit hour. Brent Hilliard is probably one of the biggest JUCO to D1 success stories. He played at Humboldt State then transferred to LBSU and won a national championship in 1991. He also played on the USA Men's Olympic Team in 1992. He had a monster match against Italy in pool-play. Then he hurt himself and was never the same again. |

Humbolt State was in JUNCO? I thought it was only comprised of JCs in Southern California. 'Bolt State is on the opposite side of California and is a State School. Right now they're a NIRSA DII club team. Maybe they were in JUNCO back then though, but having Humbolt traveling 9 hours to play matches sounds very unlikely.

You're right, Humboldt State isn't a JUCO, but I tend to lump all NIRSA/club/JUCO ball into one category in my mind. On that 1991 LBSU championship team, I know Hilliard and Matt Lyles played non-D1 ball before transferring over to LBSU. |
