Clinic and Scrimmage Today, Junior Pro Day, Estes, Colt

Today is the UH coaches clinic. Then practice starts at 3:30pm HST and it includes a scrimmage. Stephen Tsai writes that a lot of people may be in attendance. Check out the Warrior Beat, UH Sports Extra, Sportshawaii.com or WSN for any updates.

UPDATE: Scott from Sportshawaii.com has live reports from the practice field.

Dave Reardon has some injury news, with probably more news to follow.

UPDATE 2: Here's some notes from the Warrior Beat.

Among the highlights:

• Leon Wright-Jackson broke free for a long gain off of Inoke Funaki’s shovel pass.

• UH is missing the yards-after-catch plays produced by Davone Bess and Ryan Grice-Mullins. But Kealoha Pilares and Jon Medeiros showed some moves, and Nate Nasca busted out for a long post-catch sprint.

Stephen Tsai writes about 22 seniors taking part in Hawaii's Junior Pro Day.

Two scouts representing 26 NFL teams gave the players the Wonderlic — 12-minute, 50-question IQ test — and recorded their weights, heights, reaches and hand spans. Because the Warriors are in spring training, head coach Greg McMackin requested that 40-yard dashes and bench presses not be administered.

That was fine with the scouts, who have attended two practices and watched hours of UH videos.

"There's a lot of talent here," said Dave Petett, the Pittsburgh Steelers' West Coast scouting coordinator. "It's nice to see them in person."

The article also includes a video.

Cindy Luis writes about John Estes, who was named to the Outland Trophy watch list yesterday.

Center John Estes' return to practice this week signaled a marked improvement for Hawaii's offensive line.

"We've had him out there the last two days and it's the best we've looked," Warriors head coach Greg McMackin said of Estes, who had missed several practices with a tight hamstring. "He really solidifies things with his leadership and his abilities."

And here's an interesting analysis of Colt Brennan's draft prospects, from Marty Z of the Bleacher Report.

Now we are only one week away from the NFL Draft, and Brennan is probably the biggest name question mark in the entire draft. He may go as high as the second round, but may also drop completely down to the sixth round as well - or maybe even undrafted according to some pundits.

After doing a little research, I found something absolutely amazing. Different mock drafts have every team picking Brennan somewhere in the third to sixth rounds.

it seems 20 of the 32 teams in the NFL has their team selecting Brennan in some round of mock draft, but nobody seems to say that they want to take him. Fans don't want him, scouts say they don't think he will pan out, yet all these teams are being speculated as teams of interest who have them in a draft mock up.
