The price for re-signing Laurent is taking it's toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR. CFL Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Getting drafted is one thing....makes big it is another. Historically look at the success rate and longevity of drafted players regardless of what round they are drafted in. Equally important is tracking 5 th players who go back to the CIS undrafted that have a stellar year and then become Ned list eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Great timing. While we've been on this elevator ride now for quite a while with Bilukidi, will he? or won't he be coming, one last chance in the NFL, etc. maybe now we have to learn how to pronounce, and spell his name. I'm willing. Its about time, it's our turn. Hey Otis, deliver him to our floor soon, will ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Quote #Riders lose another player to unexpected retirement https://t.co/KjFjBZjGMU #CFL pic.twitter.com/Q821r6rC5n Justin Dunk (@JDunk12) May 3, 2016 I hate to laugh, but this being the second player acquired for draft picks only to see them retire makes me laugh a little bit inside. Only because I can only imagine what Rider fans would be saying if any other team had this happen to them. wbbfan and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOBomberFan Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 So to recap, Saskatchewan has traded away the first pick in the fourth, sixth, and seventh rounds of the 2016 draft and has absolutely nothing to show for it.

Mr Dee Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Whoa, two players in a short while that have turned down the opportunity to live and play for Regina. This goes against he grain that is everything Saskatchewan, doesn't it? In an area where the Riders are weak - Nationals, they have just turned up the dial on the desperado meter. Can't be giving away picks without the due diligence that goes along with it. And we know it can't be playing for Jones that was a factor, now don't we?

bearpants Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I think I have the same feeling as most here... I almost want to feel bad, but then I remember it's the riders.... But I'm still confused... everything I've heard from Rider fans is that Saskatchewan is the mecca of all things football and it's every football player's (Canadian and American) dream to have the honour to pull that puke green jersey over their watermelon helmet and call themselves a member of the greatest organization in the history of sports... comedygeek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Liver Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 It appears Jones is wearing too many hats to bother with due diligence. According to some Ti-Cat fans that attended their mini-camp Austin spent the 3 days running around the field like a headless chicken trying to cover up for departure of Condell. The entertainment value of an over-stressed Austin on the sidelines....priceless. I hope TSN has plans for a full-time "AustinCam" with audio in the works.
