Monday Thoughts: Returning defense, NBA draft, laughing at Pat Haden

Cal fans, when USC gives us material like this, the only option is a joke-off

One more measure of 2017 returning talent

Last week we looked at returning starts on the offensive line and returning yards from scrimmage. This week, Phil Steele put out his percentage of tackles returning to give a rough estimate of how much each team brings back on defense. Here's how Cal stacks up with the rest of the Pac-12 and 2017 non-conference opponents:

  1. UCLA - 82.84%
  2. Colorado - 79.90%
  3. San Diego State - 75.
