Big win for the Jays tonight. Excellent pitching battle. Both teams held to 4 hits.

I remember this guy from the excellent reality show Last Chance U. I knew the name was familiar. Wikipedia has him as Blue Bomber linebacker.

Quote from: Pete on April 15, 2024, 11:14:32 PMHergel will probably get a good look in the nfl, Duncan Busby might be a good choice at 8, no way he lasts til 17th. Id like to see us get one of Sambu/Hergott/Brubacher at 18 then either Clerius (WR) or another ol at 20

Believe we should go for one of the edge guys @ 8 (Brubacher, Hergott or Okpoko), then O-Line @ 17 (roster guy for 2024) and a receiver @ 20 (there will be some good receivers here i.e. his father was a running back for us at one time or the other Laval receiver).

Well, Jays took another 2 out of 3 on the weekend. Gausman was terrible on Friday and gave up 6 runs, other then that it was a pretty good weekend for the Jays pitching. Jays O seems to be coming around, with Turner leading the way. Will be nice when we get some of injured players back.

More competition, though, gotta love it.  UFL only had jobs for half the spring league players, and had a new crop of college grads to choose from as well.  But any pro snaps is better than none.
Hes the same height as Haba and 9 lbs heavier, which tends to be the case when they come to the cfl.
like you say good competition
