Look for #Bombers to add Winnipeg native & #CFL vet & fmr #Riders personnel director Craig Smith to scouting staff in the next few days.

Fair enough. Guess what I should have said was that I like the experience but given the performances of the Riders lately and the TiCats in 2005-2007, I'm a little leary. Oh course, somebody is going to post a huge list of his finds and make me look like a fool.

Ah, blame Taman... right.

Probably not much change... We already have Smith's recruits - Hurl, Bastien, Cronk, Neufeld

Lets sign Haidara and K-Groh

Who were our National scouts when Taman was our GM?  How many 1st round picks did we have?

Labatte is the only 1st rounder I can think of...

Anyway, the guys been around, there's a lot more behind the scenes than we know - I'll give him a chance now that I'm seeing past the green...

Not entirely sure how our old national scout (which people seem to be confusing as scouting for "national" players) got a promotion to the NFL but hey, I'm not about to jump on the new guy quite yet.

Seems like yet again, we've scouted a pretty poor crop of players so maybe some new blood is necessary.

probably got a job the same way everyone ultimately gets new jobs, lots and lots of ass kissing and networking.

Ah, he's in charge of everything...   weird, he has all this CIS experience it seems - just figured he was Cdn scouting

Good news is we'll be getting a bunch of guys from the NY Jets camp every year now...

It seemed like an appropriate assumption.  Outside of sifting thru other team's rosters there wouldn't seem to be anything else to scout nationally.

We seem to continue to hire more staff, AGMs, scouting, admin and coaches and we are now all anxiously awaiting the fruits of their labours.

We do need to spend but maybe the guys they have just aren't good enough.
