Again -- I get this and I'm cool with the JCs. I was taking some issue with the notion that these coaches aren't going to offer a kid unless he's starting material. I'd argue that that is largely coach-speak and that most of these kids will end up being depth/support parts. Williams and Tiller are different animals as guys who were really highly recruited throughout the entire process, not in late jan/early feb or even after NLOI day. 
 
I acknowledge I've probably sold some of our JCs short in saying they are mostly depth -- taj smith is another that no one brought up -- but I think as a general rule most will end up either being solid depth and/or a starter by their second (not first) year. Goggins was great once he got acclimated. I bet MPB would have been really good this season too. Maybe Clark will emerge. Diabate had a tremendous final 8 games. 
 
But I would still say that most of the JC kids that pop up in Jan/FEb/Mar/April are coming in as depth for thin spots on the roster and -- in a perfect world -- they end up being good players/starters.
