Speaking of football - I'm toying around with a defensive depth chart based on who we "expect" to be on our roster this year. Feel free to chime in with changes you would make to this setup. Obviously we want to get our best athletes of the field as much as possible. I think this is the entire defensive roster. (Green highlight was HS five star, blue highlight was four star). I left Crosby on the OL for now. At one time in the 247 composite ratings tracker McCollough was ranked as the 22nd best player in the country for the '19 class. That and his being an EE leads me to think he has a good shot at getting the start opposite Warrior, that is unless our Head Coach has an aversion to starting freshmen in the secondary.

Hope Solomon can play. DL looks rough.

Actually I have really gotten back into the NBA. I hated it for years but now I watch any game on. So many superstars each game is interesting, with the exception of Memphis they suck.

Truth be told I would have said the NBA is a trash product without the tweet. To it's not competitive anymore the way it was even 10 years ago. Most stars being out west probably hurts but I just cant watch it. Maybe move the 3 line back? idk

Yep, I've got the NBA PASS and totally enjoy it. I got back into it watching Golden State, they play basketball the way it was meant to be played..
Memphis is bad though, u are correct there.. Hate it for Mike Conley, good player and good person..

The top level isn’t competitive, but I’d argue 2-10 in the West and 1-6 in the East is as competitive as it has ever been.

I get that the Warriors cloud a “competiveness” discussion, but so does Alabama and Clemson. And so do the Patriots.

Apparently u haven't checked out Milwaukee, Toronto, Philadelphia or Boston in the East. The east at least at the top is much stronger. Sorry about NBA talk Bass, I'm done..

In all seriousness, what kind of subsidizing is going on with the WNBA? There’s no way that League has stayed in business by popularity alone. Don’t believe me? Name 5 people in your inner circle that follow the League. I’ll wait

It’s not real basketball. Give it your star and let him score. I am enjoying our team this year because they share the basketball.

The only reason I really ever watch NBA is because Memphis has a team. The Grizzlies developed a different identity, and Marc and Mike are real good dudes. Not really interested in watching a 140-130 game. JMO.

Not a Memphis fan but always liked Marc Gasol. I think the raptors were a good spot for him to get traded to.

I have similar complaints about cfb but the gameday experience is lightyears ahead of any NBA game and I've been to playoffs and finals for NBA.

With the nfl, the Patriots have won 3 the last 10 and havent won back to back since 2005. So comparing them to golden state is nonsense as they have won 3 of the last 4 and have been in each of the four.

In that same 10 year span from the NFL there have been 0 back to back winners and 3 in the NBA. Coupled with the last 4 finals have been the same two teams. The NFL hasn't had a rematch since 1994. it is what it is. a bad product.

Toronto, Philadelphia, Boston are loaded. Milwaukee might be the best team not named GSW

Miami and even Chicago has some young talent. Washington had talent but injuries killed their chances.

Knicks will be legit next year with KD
