  • Marion Barber was reportedly cited for being a "disturbance" oustide a Beverly Hills hotel early this morning. For a guy that never says more than two words at a time...he must have been extremely disturbed.
  • Josh Buchanan is a writer for D2football.com and the current owner of JBSscouting.com. He's a member of the FWAA. Anyhoo, he's tweeted the following over the last few days:
    • Most to win/lose at this week's NFL Scouting Combine: Ben Ijalana, Pat Devlin, Edmond Gates, Buster Skrine, and Mark LeGree.
    • If Ben Ijalana doesn't have a good combine and Edmond Gates does don't be surprised if Gates moves to #1 on the Big Board
    • 2 directors, 3 GMs, + 11 area scouts pooled. All told me top 100 grade on Taiwan Jones and Edmond Gates. Interesting to see if they hold up.
    • I call it Edmond Gates TV. I'm really impressed. He is better than Johnny Knox was IMO. I gave Knox a 3rd-4th coming out.
    • Edmond Gates is underrated!! I might be wrong but this guy has 2nd rd talent. Saw him destroy a potential mid-late rd pick for next year.

 ... he's receiving high acclaim in many other publications as well. I'll try to stay updated on how he's doing at the combine.

  • Cooper QB Clayton Nicholas attended junior day at Texas Tech over the weekend. The Raiders are starting to turn up the heat on the junior record-breaker.
