JC transfers do a couple things for you. First, they allow you to bring the freshmen along more slowly -- they don't HAVE to play right out of the gate. Second, all the JC players have already played 2 years of college ball -- and had to have been successful to be 3- or 4-star recruits -- which means you've got experience on the field. Honestly, I think getting the JC transfers was brilliant -- particularly on defense. Just a mediocre defense would be an important upgrade for the Gophers, because you figure that offense will continue to put points on the board. It puts a lot of pressure on your offense if they KNOW they must score because the defense can't hold anyone. I really think the Gophers will surprise people this year.
