Which of these leagues is historically the stronest, and which appears to be the strongest in 2011? I know Blinn and Butler have great tradition, but the Mississippi programs seem to produce fantastic individuals. Which of these leagues will have the most teams in the JCGridiron.com Dirty Thirty in 2010?

The JCGridiron Preseason List comes out on June 1st. We're still trying to gather feedback on CBs at Blinn and Butler before it's released. If you have thoughts or observations on some of the better NJCAA CBs, we'd like to read them.

HATTIESBURG MS ? Steve McNair Jr. has decided to attend junior college rather than enroll with Southern Miss.

McNair, whose father was professional football player Steve McNair, had signed with the Golden Eagles. But Oak Grove High School football coach Nevil Barr tells the Hattiesburg American that McNair is unlikely to meet NCAA freshman academic eligibility requirements and instead will go to Pearl River Community College.

Barr said Wednesday that McNair didn't want to sit out a year while he focused on getting his grades up.

In his senior season, McNair split time between receiver and quarterback. He caught 61 passes for 709 yards and four touchdowns.

Come and join the new group.

JCGridiron has release the first "How to get Recruited Guide" for Junior College athletes. It was written by Brad Hoiseth and there's not shortage of insight. In addition there are other writers that share their experiences, a list of 20+ tips, and several worksheets to help you sort out the process. The Guide is FREE for members.

We're also looking for help on the message boards so please check out the latest update from Brad Hoiseth.

From the Desk of Brad Hoiseth...

If you're a member of JCGridiron.com, be sure to check out today's feature on Defensive Tackles. There are four or five DTs that will make an impact... The timing couldn't be better for NCAA programs that need some help in the middle.

If you know athletes that were overlooked, let us know so we can put them on our radar.

Preseason Defensive Tackle Watch List

Hey Gridders - Brad will be announcing this on the main board soon, but let us know if you might be a good fit for the following:

VOLUNTEERS - FORUM MODERATORS This spring JCGridiron turns its attention to the message boards. We'd like to add to our panel of moderators so if you are interested in volunteering a little time each week to the discussion, please fill out this form.

Just wondering how does the JUCO system work, how do you get a kid noticed by a school for a scolarship. I am all new to this and this was mentioned for my son. I was just wondering what I need to do to get his name out there and noticed. He has the size and speed to play at the next level but his grades arent what they should be. He is 6'2" 280 and has ran a 4.9 Thanks.

Members of JCGridiron have access to the preseason Running Backs and Quarterbacks list. Be sure to check out the Running Backs this week, and next Monday the Offensive Line Preseason Picks will be made.

As always, we like to hear the names on your short lists.

Running Back Preseason List

For those of you that are members of the JCGridiron, be sure to check out "An early look at the 2011 Quarterbacks". We list almost 10 quarterbacks that we think should be on Watch Lists for staffs around the nation. Let us know if you have any favorites or people on your personal Watch List. There's a strong combination of pro-style and pocket-passers in this class.

This list will evolve throughout the year, but this is a great starting point for coaches (searching for help) and JUCO fans. Look for the running backs article coming early next week.

Brad,

Jim Comparoni from SpartanMag.com,here

Did you compile a national top 100 juco ranking, or a first, second, third-team all-america squad?

Did msu commitment Anthony White show up on any of your rankings? I want to make sure I'm not overlooking any rankings in stories I'm doing about him.

Thanks in advance
