17to85 Posted March 6, 2020 Report Posted March 6, 2020 God willing Pierce avoids the old Lapo turtle plan with a lead and we can get some wins that are easier on the old heart (and liver as the sphincter clenching tight games lead to much more beer consumption) NorthernSkunk and wbbfan 1 1
Noeller Posted March 6, 2020 Report Posted March 6, 2020 Has anyone heard anything about whether teams are doing one of those min-camps down south with potential new recruits? Seems to me that would normally be about this time....

Noeller Posted March 6, 2020 Report Posted March 6, 2020 Hmmm....yeah I think these are the regular ones scheduled all over. They used to do a sort of mini-camp that lasted the better part of a week and was down at a big training facility in Florida. I think the people they choose from these tryout days listed above get invites to the mini-camp in FLA....or at least they used to.

I know what you are referring to , I think these are late April usually (although I think they may not be allowed anymore). I remember them being pre-rookie , rookie camps. Noeller and JCon 1 1

Then I think they moved it north and had it in Winnipeg. But couldn't remember when it was. I just remember it was something to break up the winter doldrums of "No CFL News" before the Draft and then Rookies-Only Camp and then Main Camp. You could be right that it doesn't exist anymore...

Sadly, I was out of town for all the festivities but I watched a ton of videos. Was Collaros at the parade? I’ve seen a lot of Strev, Nichols, and McGuire.

Dr Zaius Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 Have these mini-camps that Mcmanus runs yearly yielded a single impact player for the Bombers? JSK was one, I think. But other than him?
rebusrankin Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 I believe Sayles came out of one of those camps also.

Bomber_fanaddict Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 Looks like Strev but with a better arm. Early to say hes the next best thing but kid looks like he can play.
Dirty30 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 Not a very big guy. Not that makes a big difference in the cfl.
Dirty30 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 By the looks of it there probably won’t be a season.

Trump just closed the US borders to anyone from Europe. This is unprecedented. Do you think this will just last a few weeks & be over with?? We're a year away from a vaccine. This will get far worse before it gets better. Edited March 12, 2020 by SpeedFlex27 Nolby and Dirty30 1 1
