M.O.A.B. Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Should be a Bombers territorial exempt... next year. Edited August 21, 2016 by M.O.A.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Even Andrew Harris didn't do that in junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 How old is he now? Would it work next year to territorially exempt him next year and have him mentored by Andrew Harris for a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this link http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/our-communities/sports/Top-Rifles-aiming-for-title-390214301.html It says, he's 20 years old.

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 This guy is an absolute monster. Coached against him in football and rugby. I played with and against Harris growing up...Ritchott reminds me a lot of him cause he went to GP and putting up these performances on a not so great team...same when he was in high school. Harris played on juggernauts both in WHSFL and junior. Running style is more like Coombs though for a local comparison. JCon and Atomic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So from those accounts, this guy is worth the time to be develop into something special. Like it. Edited August 21, 2016 by M.O.A.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Let him enjoy his time in junior where he can be a big fish in a small pond. If he is indeed good enough he'll be in the CFL. harris opened up a lot of doors for junior players. I think we all remember when the Draft was called the CIS Draft & not the CFL Draft as teams wouldn't even consider drafting a kid out of junior just a few short years ago.

Problem is if Dobbie will convinced him to play for the Bisons... then, he will go to the draft and there's no guarantee that he will fall to us. Unlike being on the territorial exempt of the Bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior ball is still far away from the CFL developmentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont have a problem making the same move. it really doesnt hurt the Bombers though since he is non-counter and I believe he (Ritchott) can still play juniors.

rebusrankin Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I'm with M.O.A.B, if we can get him into the system, I think you need to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 They had him at camp and from all accounts he didn't look out of place so you can bet he's on the bombers radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Does he want to come to the Bombers as the fifth running back at camp & then sit on the PR when he knows he can be dominating in junior or CIS? Some guys would rather play. I guess ultimately it's his choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Bisons have themselves one of the best Running BACKS in the CIS do they not? Kid's no slouch, Think you see this Rifles kid with the Bombers eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I guess that's a CFL rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Depending on what the Bombers told him, perhaps he has no interest in going the CIS route anyways... Perhaps Bombers told him to stay with the Rifles for a bit and then they will grab him as a territorial exemption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a big year, thinks he can play NCAA, like big time NCAA, but the U of M was the only school he could get into, a school pretty much anyone with a high school diploma can get into. He was recruited by a ton of schools on both sides of the border but had to play midget as a 17-18 year old because of academics. Now he's back playing junior in BC and has been listed on at least two rosters to this point. Last I heard he wasn't actually playing anywhere yet.

U of M does need tougher admission standards and I say that as an alum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
