NFL Evaluation, Etc.

Stephen Tsai writes that 18 Warriors participated in a pro evaluation program conducted by NFL scouts yesterday.

Two National Football League scouting coordinators — Dave Petett of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ray Biggs of the Tennessee Titans — collected the information.

Petett and Biggs also reviewed videos of the soon-to-be-senior Warriors, and met with the UH position coaches.

While the measurables — heights, weights, hand spans, arm reaches — can be easily accessed, the Wonderlic scores and player evaluations will be sent to a scouting organization that will distribute the information to 28 of the 32 NFL teams.

Tsai has the stats on his blog.

Ferd Lewis writes about the coaching turnover in the WAC.

Let's put it this way, the University of Hawai'i's Greg McMackin is starting his third season as head coach and he is already fifth in seniority among the nine coaches.

"In the last three years, this is probably the most turnover I've seen in any time frame," said WAC commissioner Karl Benson, a 16-year veteran of the conference. The average current continuous term of service is 3.3 years.

And Lewis wonders if the WAC is being proactive enough about the inevitable oncoming conference shake-up.
