Over the weekend we released a post-spring projected depth chart. We believe this best reflects how the coaches have it (in pencil) as they prepare for the beginning of training camp in August. There are a number of possibilities, of course, and USC will conduct nearly 30 practices before it plays Alabama in the season opener.

With that in mind, I want to present my ideal starting lineup and encourage you to do the same below. Feel free to change the personnel packages however you wish (e.g. put Adoree' Jackson on offense; add fullback, extra tight end, defensive lineman, defensive back, etc.). My lineup is predicated on what appears to be the base offense and defense. Also, I'm not listing return specialists because we didn't see any live returns in spring, but you are welcome to include them. Enjoy!

OFFENSE
QB: Max Browne
TB: Ronald Jones II
TE: Daniel Imatorbhebhe
WR: JuJu Smith-Schuster
WR: Ajene Harris (slot)
WR: Deontay Burnett
LT: Chad Wheeler
LG: Toa Lobendahn
C: Khaliel Rodgers
RG: Viane Talamaivao
RT: Zach Banner

DEFENSE
DT: Rasheem Green
NT: Noah Jefferson
DT: undecided
PRED: Porter Gustin
SOLB: Uchenna Nwosu
WOLB: Osa Masina
MLB: Cam Smith
CB: Adoree' Jackson
CB: Biggie Marshall
FS: Marvell Tell
SS: Chris Hawkins

Again, this is my personal lineup coming out of spring practice. I'm sure it will change after fall practice. What's yours?
