New Impact Players This Year: Our Scouting System

Maybe we sign Curran or Peters at linebacker; perhaps Walters does a little more magic in free agency… He seems to be very good at unearthing quality Canadians that no one has really noticed or cared about.

 

We have three top picks in the upcoming CIS draft. We might get one of those three to start but the rest of the draft picks will be doing well just to fit in and add some depth. This year’s draft picks are two or perhaps three seasons away from having an impact on our team.

 

So in terms of bringing in new talent, what we really have left is “mini camps”. Barring a major trade, the only place we are going to find impact players beyond what we already have is through our scouting system.

 

Will we find a Milt Steagall, Charles Roberts or Chris Williams that can make all the difference in the world to our franchise? Will we find a terrorist to patrol our defensive line? Our line-backing looks thin. What import rookie had a real impact on our team last year?

 

I guess what I’m asking is what is our American scouting personnel going to do for us this year?

Fargo tryout?

 

Surely I can fill Dan West's role!

But can you fill Stoudemire's jockey shorts? :)

 

Alright, there have been several "Stoudemire references" on the forum. What did I miss?  And I hope I won't regret asking...

I now officially regret asking.

like the Fargo tryout it could be a really under scouted area.

 

Underpopulated as well, I question this location, some place deeper in the mid-west like Michigan or even Iowa would attract more under-employed football players IMO.

You are covering an area of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota North Dakota and Montana. A lot of football schools and players in that area. Wide area covered at a lower cost.

Great bloi-dei Dorzon's ghost!

 

 

Fun fact - he's a professional gourmet chef now.

I think we've unearthed some potential studs last season. Cotton Booker and Fraser are all candidates IMO. A more of a reach could be a guy like Jerrell Jackson who looked good in limited opportunity last year.

 

Even Milt took a couple years before he really started dominating

Huh. Cool. Glad he landed on his feet. Always glad to see ex-ballers rebound outside of the game..
