Some prospects for next year's CFL draft on display.

I missed it, seeing as it took place in the middle of the night for me.
Anyone stand out for those who watched?
Here is the 3rd down nation write up.

Another writeup:

I'm personally interested in watching U of T running back Luka Stoikos in the OUA this year. He had one good run during the game. He is also a shot putter and 60m runner. He ran a 7.02 60m in February. Tre Ford's best is 6.80. He is 5-11 230lbs.
I watched a bunch of the game, after it was over, via Waterloo YouTube; the announcers were too busy babbling with guests about U Sports football in general and did not keep up with game commentary, so often who was making plays was not told.
They used to post the East-West Combine result #s but last year, i could not find them anywhere, but 3 Down reporters made vague references to them. Findlay supposedly ran a real fast 40 time (and had 2 picks this game i believe - saw one real nice one) - be nice to see those #s but maybe it's a secret now ?
Some impressive QB play - Tachinski (Bisons) in particular along with Laval's Desjardins. Good QB crop in U Sports lately IMO, but sad they are unlikely to get any real CFL shot; they can always go to the CFL "intern" program to make somebody in the GOB club feel good.
Receiver R. Vavra (Huskies - wonder if he is any relation to that Canadian QB Greg who played for the Dinos and then the Stamps ?) - made a few nice grabs including a TD catch.
Carabins DE J. Ojo drew some rave reviews.
Again - sad this event draws so little notice from Canadian football fans up here. Another CFL fan forum that has umpteen times the members and traffic of this forum made zero reference to this Canadian football event.
Yeah - Campbell is a good example - blazing speed.
Manu got signed mostly by size I'd bet; doubt the NFL super experts look much at U Sports "tape" (or CFL game film for that matter), but maybe Manu impressed on film or at other Pro Day tests.
