It's always funny hearing about Jordan Reaves. Nobody wants to stick their neck out and say that he could make the team as one of our Canadian receivers. Everything I've heard or seen of him has been glowing thus far.
With camp being slightly less accessible this year (hey, they did their best), we are having to rely on the media a bit more for daily reports. Pretty sure their day at camp goes like this: Show up, sit in front row, note who isn't practicing, talk about their fishing weekend, camp ends, ask Mike O'Shea when players will be back on the field. Rinse, repeat.
Veltung didn't seem as polished as a lot of guys but there were definitely flashes here and there of his speed. Didn't really impress today but it's just day 1
Was there for most of the second half. Sat behind Bob Irving, Ed Tait etc. Had a pretty decent view of some things from the lawn chairs. Don't have tons to report. The weather was beautiful.
Tunei was very good. Ran over Sherman in one match up. Really clocked him good. Very impressive big fast receiver with good hands.
Jordan Reaves did not look out of place from what I saw.
Johnny Adams got into a little scrap with somebody. Not sure who it was. Looks like he wants it out there.
I can't really think of much else that stood out to me. All the vets looked good out there
I was surprised at the Richards pick because everyone was saying Lamar Durant was going so high. Maybe shouldn't have been so surprised after Ottawa took Harty. So far though Richards has really impressed in camp so can't be mad yet.
I was just bummed about the Morgan pick. Mostly because I'd never heard of him and there were still other players on the board I had heard of. I'll be happy if he's a strong St player
Rookie Camp Summary:
-Johnny Adams could be our answer for losing Johnny Sears
-Addison Richards is not Jade Etienne
-David Mims is the biggest of all the offensive lineman
-Jordan Reaves is at least 5 years away
-Waggoner is a safe(ty) bet to be line(back)ing up somewhere in our defense early on this year, and he'll be excited about it.
-TUNEIIIIIIIII
He looked nervous as heck in the scrum but awesome attitude. Excited for him.
Actually just about everyone they've interviewed so far has shown to have a great attitude and love for the game. Kudos to our scouts in that regard. They weren't blowing smoke on that subject
