PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Chris Ash is coming into his first season as Rutgers coach knowing that he sure isnt at Ohio State anymore.The Scarlet Knights depth chart isnt very deep and the talent level isnt anywhere close to what he had as the co-defensive coordinator with the Buckeyes.Coaching Rutgers is going to be a challenge. It is coming off a 4-8 record last season with one win in the Big Ten Conference in eight games.Rutgers recent success is a thing of the past. The Scarlet Knights are rebuilding.Got to get back in to football playing shape, Ash said after training camp opened. Were in great conditioning shape from summer work outs, but just like most teams at this time of year, were not in great football shape and we got to play ourselves back into that, but good start.Ash was not as happy after the first preseason practice, so there has been some improvement in recent months.As we continue to go through training camp well have a better feel of our team, our players and our picture will become clearer, Ash said. Its a lot clearer than when we first started, so making progress, but like I said when we first started, but like Ive been saying all along still a long way.Ash has changed almost everything since replacing Kyle Flood. The coaching staff is new, and so are the offense and defense.Weve made a lot of changes to their bodies, but it took seven months to make a lot of those changes, Ash said. We have to change the type of production we get on the field as football players. That doesnt happen on day one.While there are many on-field questions that need to be answered, Ash is pleased that there are no questions about his teams off-field behavior. During last years training camp, Flood was engulfed in an academic scandal while his players were getting arrested.You look at the behavior and you tell me what you see. I see a bunch of guys that want to be coached, that want to excel, that want to do things right, and they want to be good teammates and they want to represent the athletic department, and this state the right way, Ash said. Now they have to continue that, but I like the trend that were on right now.QB QUESTIONOnce again, Rutgers has a quarterback battle between Chris Laviano and Hayden Rettig. Ash recently threw TCU transfer Zach Allen into the mix and the battle is expected to go throughout much of camp.D-LINE STRENGTHWhile they replace all three linebackers from last season, Rutgers will rely defensively of their defensive line. The deep unit returns All-Big Ten performer Darius Hamilton, Julian Pinnix-Odrick and Sebastian Joseph. Hamilton is coming off a lower body injury and needed a medical redshirt to return this year.KEY GAMESIf Rutgers wants the Penn State rivalry to become a thing, they have to win a game against the Nittany Lions. Rutgers hosts Penn State on Nov. 19.PREDICTIONIf Ash can somehow win six games and get to a bowl in the loaded Big Ten East, that would be chalked up as a very successful first season. The reality is there was very little in the cupboard and this could be a very long year, even longer than last years 4-8 finish.SEASON OPENERSept. 3 at Washington. Air Max 97 Valentines Day 2019 .

As the NBA prepares to open training camps -- and the issue of athletes protests during the national anthem shows no signs of abating -- it was only a matter of time before basketball players would be asked about what they plan to do.Oklahoma City Thunder guard Victor Oladipo was asked by Complex Sports whether NBA players are paying attention to Colin Kaepernicks protest of racial oppression and inequality in the United States -- and whether those protests would transfer to the NBA.Oh, no question. I truly believe it will, Oladipo said. Because at the end of the day its a sport, and people are gonna be looking at some guys in the NBA to see what theyre gonna do as well. At the end of the day you just control what you can control, so your opinion is your opinion, thats the beauty of the United States, so, do whatever you feel is best that will help you do whatever you believe.Kaepernick, a quarterback on the San Francisco 49ers, has drawn a great deal of attention for choosing to sit during the playing of the anthem in the 49ers second-to-last preseason game. After a storm of discussion and criticism for his initial action, he then chose to kneel in the final preseason game and the 49ers Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams.Other players have chosen to join Kaepernick in his protest. Their gestures have included kneeling, linking arms with teammates and raising fists during the song.Oladipo, who was acquired from the Orlando Magic?in June,?also was asked whether its something he had discussed with his teammates. While he said he has not, he expects to see at least a few NBA players with their own protests.A few people just in general Ive had conversations with about that, I tell em the same thing, peoples belliefs are peoples beliefs, you know what I mean, you can only control so much, you can only control what you can control, and the most things you can control is yourself, Oladipo said.dddddddddddd So whatever you believe, believe in to the utmost. But I think definitely, well see a few guys in the NBA doing the same thing.Golden State Warriors MVP Stephen Curry said at the convention TechCrunch in San Francisco on Tuesday that he will most likely stand when the anthem is played.If you follow the way [Kaepernick] talks and the message hes trying to send with his act, from his mouth, hes not disrespecting veterans. Hes not disrespecting military. Thats not his intention, Curry said. Hes obviously continued the act to create a conversation for more social justice and things of that nature. So, Ive been a part of certain conversations off the grid, and finding different ways to make our community better, especially for African-Americans. And so, thats not the way that I would do it, but I support him in his attempt to start a conversation or continue the conversation.In 1996, then-Denver Nuggets player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf created controversy when he refused to stand for the anthem before games, saying the flag was a symbol of oppression in the nation, and that the U.S. had a long history of tyranny.Abdul-Rauf also said standing would conflict with his Islamic beliefs. In March 1996, the NBA suspended Abdul-Rauf for one game, but he quickly worked out a compromise in which he would stand but could close his eyes and look down during the song. He said he usually recited a prayer to himself. ' ' '
