Great News
Hope he can catch someones eye, and get a chance Special Teams using his speed.

Is there any word on Brehm or any other D III guys that have landed invites or FA signings somewhere?  Looks like D III is well represented this year in the professional leagues.  So with recruiting slowing down for the D III guys, what is the word with possible recruits that may see some time as freshmen?  I hear Adrian is bringing in another huge class, not real sure about the talent level however.  Any word on the other MIAA schools?  Any surprises out there regarding transfers?

ACRULZ, check the D3football.com front page. Two stories -- one with draftees, another with signees and free agent invites.

Fellow MIAA followers:

I was told by a very reliable MIAA source that Alma's Brehm and Adrian's Wallace have signed as free agents with the Detroit Lions and are now at the mini-camp.  Great news, although it will be interesting to see how far they can go.  Obviously, Brehm is competing against MSU's Stanton.

It is true that both were invited to the Lions mini camp along with about 30 other non signed rookie invites.  Unlike the other teams in the NFL this camp for the Lions was only rookies thus they needed numbers to fill out the camp as opposed to most NFL teams that bring the whole team in plus rookies.  While they were in camp, as far as I know they have not signed any contract of worth.  Word is that Taz looked good, speaking with the Adrian D coordinator today he actually picked Brehm off in the first day of practice.  Both players are considered long shots to make the roster and I think it would be great if either was able to land on the practice squad.

I believe there are pictures of Taz at the Lions camp on the Adrian site if anyone is interested.

Great photos and articles on Adrian's athletic website about Taz at the Lions mini-camp.  However, we haven't heard anything about whether or not he was invited back or not for the pre-season camp or possibly assigned to NFL-Europe, etc. (also nothing on how Brehm did).  I checked on the Detroit Lions official website and unfortunately, there is nothing listed at all about how these non-drafted, unrestricted free agents, and invitees did at the camp, other than the couple of "big name" guys the Lions invited or signed before camp and a general interview with the Lions HC who basically just talks about the latter.  You would think the Lions would have something about who was cut, who made it, etc. on the "blog" section of the website.  With all the "hype" it is projected as a great website, it kind of reflects how mediocre the Lions are in all other aspects!  ::)  Anyone have any other info...bulldogalum, ADAWG,???? ???

Word on a local Michigan Website is Brehm signed a 90 day contract to be at the Grenn Bay packers Training Camp.

See if he can make it,or get a NFL Europe Contract.

$250K is the rumored rate.

Nice start hope he makes it.

GB needs somebody in the near future, even if he gets 3rd string and learns

The only word I knew on Taz was that he was a rookie invite to the Lions rookie minicamp.  He had some good moments, but I have not heard any plans or word of him being signed to the squad for training camp.  The lions run their first camp different than most teams, only rookies are present thus they bring in about 30 rookie invites to participate and fill out the numbers.  Like I said the word is that Taz did great and that he was well liked, but I have heard nothing regarding signing.  Ill do some digging and see if I can hear anything.

Thanks DAWG; keep us posted.  Hope all is well with you.

Thanks also, D306, please do the same.

BTW, fellow MIAA'ers, I need to check today to see where/who Hope baseball team plays in the NCAA Regionals.  I would assume in the Cleveland area, but then the NCAA has been known to do some strange things! ::)

Mr. Ypsi

Hope's first game is Wednesday, 7pm, vs Marietta (defending national champion, but many were surprised they even got a pool C this year); Wooster is the host, but the games are in Strongsville,OH (a Cleveland suburb).

Come on, man -- you're inheriting the Mr. Ypsi mantle of not doing your own research. Read the  front page of the site for something important like that!

Oops!  Sorry Pat, my bad!  In my haste to post, I should have checked your site before that; actually, the baseball question was a "late" thought in my post.  I should have figured that the pairings/selections were posted by then, since it was early evening!  I should know better in regards to my researcher/historian background! :-[ ::)  :P

Anyway, Hope is not a bad team and has been steadily improving of recent, yet getting Marietta will be no easy game.

Well, at least we're crediting Ypsi with having dispensed with said mantle. :)
