JUCO epidemic across the country

Not just us. A lot of good JUCOs out there, a lot of good players going that route both from high school and bouncing back from D1 ball. I expect more JUCOs in years to come, partially due to a small high school class and partially due to them just having no problem getting them if they like them.

I think it's almost normal now for a kid to go to a P5 program, compete for space on the depth chart, and if they don't make it immediately transfer.  A ton of those go the juco route.

Coaches love it because they get a longer look on these guys at a higher level of competition than HS.

Yep. I think the saying goes something along the lines of the rich get richer. It's a system slanted and will be until the playing field is level.

My understanding, from working in an office with players parents, is this: get used to it.
