Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on Today at 04:05:45 PMThe only one I know of is #57 Kyle Samson DT returning to UBC.  Last year's 6th round draft pick Bret MacDougall is still only 22, so he may have another year of eligibility left at school. I liked what I saw of him in last seasons pre-season games, but don't know if he played in the game last weekend.

The others might have been Kalra and Hubert but I'm not 100% sure.

MacDougall could be a good future player. Whether we have room on the roster for Hallet, Ford and Kelly and another Canadian is uncertain.

He stuck me as a possible SAM in future.

Quote from: Blue In BC on Today at 03:23:17 PMWhich draft choices are returning to college after TC? IIRC there were 3 of the 11 2024 draft choices. We seem to have some really good newbies fighting for roster spots.

Currently 33 healthy Canadians on the roster. Not enough room for everyone but don't want to speculate too much on those we can't keep.

Well, Manoah fell back to earth tonight. Not a good outing. Jays with 10 hits, but only 2 runs to show for it. Bo and Vladi still hot at the plate.

Quick Hits | Training Camp Day 13

"..."I'm so grateful that Winnipeg picked me up," Petrishen said Friday in a chat with bluebombers.com. "To be honest, (the release from the Lions) wasn't a gut-punch feeling. I've been cut before in the NFL and other leagues. I've been told 'no' many times. But when the Lions released me I kind of felt like something good was about to happen. I wasn't upset, I wasn't down. I feel like in my career it's taught me to handle the emotional roller coaster, so I knew something good was about to happen and when the Blue Bombers called I knew that's exactly what it was...."
