Three Mid-Year Junior College Transfers Looking at BYU

One of the forgotten parts about College Football Recruiting is the Mid-Year Signing Period for transfers.  Usually from the Junior College ranks and occassionally high school student-athletes that receive their H.S. Diploma in the Winter.

This particular signing period starts this Wednesday, December 17th and runs through January 15th of 2009.  It gives these guys time to decide where they are going to sign, and they can immediately join a program for Spring Practices, which is always a plus for newcomers to get a early edge on the learning curve.

Last month, Greg Wrubell mentioned in his blog, "Cougar Tracks" that Bronco was going to hit JC's for some defensive help.  I can't find the link at this time, but its apparent Bronco is living up to his words as Junior College recruits have been visiting Cougar Town lately.  Here are the three mid-year players that BYU has offered.

Lee Aguirre, CB, Fullerton College

At around 5-9 or 5-10, Aguirre is a guy that has plain and simple tore it up at Fullerton College.  The only reason more colleges aren't going after him is mainly due to his size.  Aguirre currently holds two offers from both Hawaii and BYU*.  (*=Subscription Required at TotalBlueSports.com --- Highly Recommended!)

Aguirre visited Hawaii the weekend the Warriors played BCS-bound Cincinnati.  I watched that game on my DVR, and I spotted Aguirre in the third quarter on the sidelines with around 9:20 left in the quarter. 

Apparently he enjoyed his trip to Hawaii, mainly due to the weather I would assume.  I can't imagine he was impressed with the facilities.  Remember when former Hawaii QB Colt Brennan said his team didn't even bars of soap during Spring Practice?  Well that's still the same program, and with the nation being in a recession I can't imagine the facilities have been upgraded much since last year. 

Then there's BYU where the facilities are probably the best in the West and some of the best in the nation, and that includes the NFL.  Also, another positive to BYU is he can be a part of a Top-15 program and have the opportunity to play right away if he works hard and learns the defense fast.
