There are several CIS all-star O-linemen who could be rated as high as any of those NCAA Canuck O-linemen: Shepley; Ciraco & Sceviour from the Dinos - both CIS all-stars); Pickett (Guelph), plus David Brown (CIS 1st team all-star at OT for the powerhouse Western offence last season), Mark Korte (Alberta - drew some good reviews at the US Shrine game) or Keiler Cherry (2 time AUS all-star at OT for Acadia); both Brown & Cherry are not going to the CFL Combine this weekend despite the fact both have made this year's CFL's Scouting Bureau's Top 20 lists ??? - like to know why? - maybe they are injured or else have told the CFL they have no interest in pro ball ? And 3 time (!) AUS all-star OG Jacob Czaja - with pro size and a petty decent bench # did not advance to the main Combine from the East regional ? ; neither did AUS all-star OT Mathew Ouellet-Decarlo (Bishops) who has 6-4, 315 size ?- only 2 AUS players going to the main Combine ? = CFL types might have little respect for top players from that weaker CIS Conference ?
