Whoa! Call out the National Guard, hide all the women and children! Alert the Washington State Troopers (I like their drill sgt. hats!). Call the JPO’s…wait no, school is out for the summer already. Approach with extreme caution, he may be loaded!

Happy Birthday to “The Beast”!

The 22-year-old is at only his first CFL training camp yet, because so much of what the Lions hope to accomplish offensively is centered around him, the receiver with the brown-tipped dreadlocks is being treated like a proven veteran.

It was during a stretch where Grice-Mullen had a pair of 100-yard receiving contests and showed the vertical stretch possibilities that could be added to the Lions’ offence that come from a 4.4-second runner in the 40-yard dash.

To Grice-Mullen, there were many bigger challenges in college at Hawaii.

“My first game I played USC and my second was against Michigan State. It ain’t no pressure,” he said Wednesday. “I thought I did well last year for somebody who had never played in the CFL. I don’t feel like there’s pressure as to whether I can play at this level.”

Two Washington State freshman football players, safeties Tyree Toomer and LeAndre Daniels, have been suspended from team activities following their arrest by WSU campus police in connection with the alleged theft of bicycles.

WSU police lieutenant Steve Hansen said witnesses saw the two take a hacksaw from a house under remodel. The arrest came, Hanson said, after Toomer and Daniels allegedly used the hacksaw to take four bicycles from a storage area under Regents residence hall.

They also brought in 5 players who don’t have offers yet, to see how well they would bond with the coaches and the commits. They brought in one player with an offer who hasn’t committed to anyone yet (top WR recruit who has a final 5 of Texas, OU, USC, Texas Tech, and OK State). They didn’t offer that recruit’s two friends and Oklahoma and Texas Tech have…so they probably won’t get him.

This weekend they are having a camp for the top 2011 recruits. The camp gives the coaches even more time with the recruits than the Junior Days, so this is a huge recruiting weekend for 2011. Forming the bonds early with recruits and getting the evaluations done as early as possible has been the key to getting an early jump on recruiting each year.

Not only are camps effective, but recruits pay their own way to them so they really save on the recruiting budget. I hope that Mac and Tony Tuioti are able to get ahead in recruiting for local recruits by the use of camps and Junior Days. Get some recruits early, let the commits recruit future teammates and help fight off poachers, and then UH won’t have to worry about new about commits leaking out.

Nah, still da 10% Kona stuff. 😉

Annoddah early one today.

HiHo…
