Bess, WAC Breakdown, Keomaka (w/UPDATE)

Ed Thompson of Scout.com says I-told-you-so to teams who passed on Davone Bess in the draft.

I didn't find it surprising to see rave reviews coming out of Miami about undrafted wide receiver Davone Bess. While many teams undoubtedly focused on the former Hawaii receiver's mediocre forty-times at the NFL Scouting Combine that ranged from 4.64 to 4.79 seconds, they apparently were chatting or snoozing while he was actually displaying his skills as a receiver.

Congratulations to the Dolphins for spotting his talent. I believe many teams may be kicking themselves for not using at least a seventh-round pick in the draft to add him to their roster.

Ted Miller of ESPN.com breaks down the WAC. Here's an excerpt about UH:

2. Getting defensive: The offense started learning this spring, but the defense seems to be figuring stuff out on its own -- it should rank among the best in the WAC again, even with the departure of six starters. McMackin believes the front seven will be as good as any in the conference, led by linebackers Solomon Elimimian and Adam Leonard and end David Veikune. While there are three new starters on the line, they combined for 11.5 tackles for a loss last year and played extensively.

And Stephen Tsai writes that Ryan Keomaka has signed with the Billings Outlaws of the United Indoor Football League. And last I heard, former UH running back Michael Brewster had rejoined the Outlaws in March, but currently he's not listed on their website roster.

UPDATE: I e-mailed the Outlaws and they told me that Brewster left the team after suffering some injuries mid-season. And Keomaka will start on Saturday against the Omaha Beef. That's right, the Omaha Beef.
