If you watch JUCO basketball nowadays, it's nothing like what it used to be...there are maybe 5-10 impact players in the NAIA/JUCO ranks now, whereas you could find 25-30 in a give year way back when. It is exceptionally hard to not qualify, and with over 330 D1 teams, almost every decent player ends up at a school. The transfer portal is essentially the new JUCO route at this point.

What you articulated here is what I've heard in recent years. Huggins was masterful at building those early teams with J.C. guys and the results were impressive. But the window of opportunity for obtaining talent that way has closed for a variety of reasons.
