Yes, because top-25 programs are well-known for their love of JUCO QBs.What difference does that make? The year that ISU got him, all the other schools could have come back and offered, but everyone passed. ISU took a chance on a complete bust basically. That isn't a shot at Park, he has done great, but he wasn't a sought after recruit when ISU got him.
I fail to see how getting beat out at top schools makes one a bad player.
