Spotters need to pull Butler (Sask at #1) & Lewis (Edmonton at #2) to check for concussions.

Specific but different reasons. KJ Hill has a very very similar profile to Austin Mack which is an exciting thought. As far as Waggoner, any Iowa defender is going to pique my interest plus all the academic and coaches selection awards in college give him a big “O’Shea guy” type feel. Fuller I followed on the Bills roster a bit and he’s a long rangy shutdown corner type, could be a productive guy up here if he picks up the nuances well enough. Lua is SUPER young (22) and didn’t even go through the NFL draft process, but he’s a versatile defender that could play a lot of different roles on our D. Finally, Woods is a guy they’ve had neg-listed for quite some time - couple that with them usually having a good eye for the DT types they like and I’m interested to see him in camp.

Further info from the league website just in case anyone forgot...
 
The 2024 CFL Draft will take place on Tuesday, April 30 at 8:00 p.m. EDT and feature 74 selections over eight rounds. The Edmonton Elks currently hold the first overall selection, followed by the Ottawa Redblacks and Saskatchewan Roughriders.
 
The CFL’s Global Draft will take place earlier that same day at 11:00 a.m. EDT. 
 
Rookie camps across the country will open on May 8 with teams being required to reduce their rosters to 85 players (excluding non-counters) by May 11.
 
Training camps will open on May 12 with teams needing to reduce their rosters to 75 players (excluding non-counters) by May 14. Training camps will conclude on June 1.

For whatever reason, I feel like I’d really lost sight of how many interesting prospects the Bombers brought in this off-season. Not too worried about the massive amounts of WR or DB, that’ll sort itself out with reps but I do appreciate some of these names … real high calibre guys being brought up here.
5 names to watch in my obviously incredibly educated opinion: WR KJ Hill, DE John Waggoner, DT Jamal Woods, DB Travon Fuller, DB Juan Lua
Bonus name, I think it’s a foregone conclusion he’s QB3: Eric Barriere
Bonus name if Janarion Grant doesn’t come back: WR Aron Cruickshank

I've been out of the loop. When's training camp start. I'm ready for my favourite time of year 

Will be very interesting to see the Bombers profit for next year if the team continues to be successful on the field 

Which may be the secret ingredient in McRibs.

I am shocked. I cannot believe Salt Lake City moved in front of Houston. 

Doug Brown as Commish. Not sure how well that would go over west of us given some of his comments.

Yup, the Jazz moved from New Orleans to Utah but kept the name.  It happens every now and then... the Lakers moved from Minnesota (land of 10 000 lakes) to L.A. (home of a whopping 6 natural lakes) but kept the name.
Some times keeping the name is appropriate. The Atlanta Flames were named after the Civil War burning of Atlanta but the name still works in Calgary because they are a tire fire franchise. 

Like any good mob boss, he already (allegedly) runs the show from the background.  I doubt he would want to change that.

record for a CFL club (likely) according to Naylor..... hey Gappers: Eat ****. 
 

Is it me or is the Valour experiment something that should be ended? Just seems like a monetary money pit.
Being 5.7 million in the black during a non GC hosting year is fantastic.

Wait, so my brain isn't like an egg? A fried egg isn't my brain on drugs? Suddenly, I have so many questions.

Big Mac's instead of hotdogs and that was pretty much his recipe for success.

I thought the Charles Roberts plan was red bull, smokes, hotdogs, strip clubs and weed?
