if I'm doing that right, I get Hunt as our worst defender last year? lol. and Tyne not much better. something is flawed in this.Actually, as is often - or maybe sometimesthe case, my eye test not bad here.

Dusan not rated so hot on defense.
If you sort by last years team, which probably much more accurate since actual data - one player was off the charts on defense.
You guessed it.
He now suits up for
LSU
Hunt and Tyne on the perimeter are as good as any defensive backcourt we've fielded.

Anachnid, the CM factor does worry me. Last season chemistry was good, but there were a lot of guys that kind of knew their role, not a ton of battles for PT. Noyes got the starting nod at forward, but that went south and it was clear Dji was the better option. So the roles and pecking order were set pretty early.
This year - without seeing how things are playing out in practice - it seems like a lot of potential for guys to be unhappy with their role, as well as difficulty determining who is the best option and what pieces fit the best.
For example, Beagle could have gone a ton of places - if Walz plays great and gets 30 minutes a game - and Mooney does not think Beagle fits at forward, that is one potential area. If Roche is 100% healthy, will Mooney play him ~20 minutes a game like he was in past when healthy - despite his defensive shortcomings ( I know sman, you think he is good defender
4700 seems to discount Soulis, but if healthy - he appears to me to be an impact player - who turned down offers from St. Johns and St. Mary's to play here.
I think having more talent is much better problem than not enough, but will have to see how long it takes CM to figure out the roster. I guess with the OOC so weak this year, again probably doesn't matter. We don't have the opportunity (like last year) to build a resume in the OOC - other than win every game , including Auburn.
Walz isn't getting 30 minutes a game.... Golden avg 27 MPG over his career.
Roche isn't getting 20 minutes a game "like he was in the past when healthy" the only time he played consistenly more than 20 minutes was when Nelson get benched... Career average 15 min

The Rudy Project

This smells of anticompetitive violations of US anti-trust laws. They are pushing out competiton using their market power. It's illegal as crap.
From the article above:
Project Rudy is built on two somewhat simple concepts to increase revenue from television networks and corporate sponsors.
(1) Arrange more games between power conference programs by eliminating all games against Group of Five and FCS opponents; expanding the playoffs; and pitting blue-blood powers more often against one another.
(2) Consolidate the media rights of the 70 schools under one agreement, instead of the current structure of five different packages (one for each power league and Notre Dame).

While SEC and Big Ten leaders mull major changes, a new Super League concept could radically alter college sports
As SEC and Big Ten leaders prepare to meet this week in Nashville for a historic summit of the industry’s two powers, there is an unreported undercurrent driving the discussion: Project Rudy.
