2018 CFL draft

[jerrym]

CIS 6'3", 241 lb receiver Regis Cibasu from the University of Montreal will be playing in the East West Shrine game on Saturday, January 20th. The video accompanying the following article shows him catching a pass in pre-game practices.

The Shrine Game is the oldest American college football all-star event that has served as an NFL launching point for the likes of Canadian tight end Antony Auclair, offensive lineman Geoff Gray, defensive lineman David Onyemata and offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif in recent years.
For more than three decades, at least two Canadian university players have been invited to the annual game in Florida. It features a week of practices in front of NFL and CFL coaches and scouts followed by a game broadcast on the NFL Network, this year that will be on Jan. 20.

Montreal’s offence was more about ball control and limiting turnovers so there weren’t many passes being thrown around. Cibasu had 27 catches for 387 yards and two touchdowns, which included a 99-yarder, in seven games as a senior with the Carabins. Over four years in USports, Cibasu has 145 receptions for 1,797 and seven touchdowns.
Cibasu burst on to the USports scene as a freshman with 90 receiving yards in Montreal’s 2014 Vanier Cup victory and earned game MVP honours for his effort. Since then Montreal’s talented receiver has developed further and added more muscle to his already impressive frame. Carabins head coach Danny Maciocia said from day one when Cibasu stepped on campus that he could have a chance to play in the NFL if full potential is reached. Physically, Cibasu already has a pro body – one NFL scout believes he has the size – and possesses natural ball skills and run-after-the-catch ability.
The last receiver from the Quebec conference to get a Shrine Game invite was Samuel Giguere in 2008 who spent parts of four seasons with the Colts and Giants before coming north to the CFL where he’s played six seasons.

Als cut Gigure; Mavis is probably going to need one NI receiver to play (little used wide-side WR) in the 5 pack as part of his 7 only need apply plan.

They might be able to draft Cibasu and hope he can fill that role (local guy connection could maybe help with a bit of fan interest?) - but they have a few other NI receivers still around plus last year's draft pick Morrison (good receiver at UBC) who should come to TC.

Hope to watch that Shrine game tomorrow (on NFL Network i think) and see how Cibasu and Alberta O-lineman Korte might fare.

Watched this game.

Korte played a bit and lined-up at guard; looked pretty good except for one whiff block attempt.

Cibasu did not play much at all and did not have a pass thrown his way that I saw.

Overall - very poor offensive passing display in this game; dropped passes galore and inaccurate throws by the QBs (except for one real nice deep TD pass)
