I think your post proves how many JUCO's have contributed. Would you like to go through how many true freshman have never contributed in the last five years. It has to be twice or three times as many as the JUCO's you have listed.
Strange argument! Why would you only look at a HS player contributing his freshman year? The ideal would be for a freshman to redshirt and maybe play his third, but more likely his fourth and fifth year. I'm with Dantonio, take JUCO's ONLY when you have to, otherwise develop good HS talent. Keep in mind there's a reason they're JUCOs, they didn't have the grades or talent to be recruited out of HS. To avoid more eligibility problems that hurt the team in the recent bowl, it's probably better to get character kids who are willing to do the work in the classroom.
