The start of the BYU Football season is now only 69 days away.

We made it to the 60’s! We are also nine weeks and six days away now! I remember when I was writing player No. 91 I was thinking to myself, “If I can just make to the 60’s everything is going to be okay.” Well here we are, and sure enough it is starting to feel close than it did even yesterday when we were 70 days away.

Yesterday was the NBA draft and to no surprise the number one pick in the draft was Zion Williamson from Duke. Anyone who has seen any college basketball in the last year has seen at least highlights of him. On top of his skills on the court, he seems to be a good person, something that many teams actually are desperate of. No problems with the law, smart (doesn’t only care about himself while playing), and a desire to win. He literally may be a once in a  generation kind of player in the NBA.

With so much attention going to Zion, the rest of the draft got pushed off to the side to an extent.

Much like Goga Bitadze player 69 on our BYU Football Top 100 probably felt the same thing Bitadze felt, ignored and forgotten despite being a great player on a great team and making a huge impact.
