I found this: http://www.news-herald.com/articles/2010/03/13/sports/nh2225921.txt

Whalen said he ran a 4.6-4.7 (which, if true, would place him around the top three of the qbs who ran at the combine; seems dubious). I don't know why they wouldn't let him throw. Something's fishy.

Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but four of the eight schools in the University Athletic Association made the list of the Top 25 "Best Neighbor" schools that make a positive impact on their urban communities:

Case was ranked #7, Rochester #14, Emory #17, and Carnegie-Mellon #19.

Quite an honor, I would say!

BashDad,

It's a shame he didn't get a chance to throw.

Is there any chance that he can get a private workout with an NFL team?

From the CWRU website:  Whalen "worked out individually for multiple (Dolphins, Giants, Saints) National Football League (NFL) teams.  The Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL) have also signed his CFL rights."

Does Whalen get a NFL call for a FA and which is the likely team? Maybe Mount's K. Rocco will be contacted as well!

Has there been any word on whether Whalen will be signed as an NFL free agent?

The schedule for Year One AD has been finalized.

We've know for some time that John Carroll and Allegheny are replacing Kenyon and Ohio Wesleyan.  The first three games will be under the lights; John Carroll and Denison at home weeks one and four and at Rochester week two.  No mention of a repeat of Heritage Day.  But the JCU opener would be perfect since the Blue Streaks were PAC foes of both the Red Cats and Rough Riders.

It is great that CWRU and JCU are playing each this season. Since they are both local and compete for many of the same players. In the last few years CWRU has been a better team than JCU, so this year's game should be a good one!

In my view, Case has a major rebuilding year ahead.

I don't foresee another undefeated season, and beating JCU will be a pretty tall order, not that I wouldn't LOVE to see it (I did my undergrad work at CWRU, but I did my Army ROTC and got my Commission through JCU; I always felt like an outsider over there, so I'd love to see JCU lose!).

Sounds like the game could be a toss-up. I have not heard any JCU news other than Tom Arth coming back as a offensive coach. JCU should have replaced their HC a few years ago!

Both teams will be breaking in new QBs.

Spartans will be rebuilding for sure, replacing the most successful class in school history.  Whalen, Checkan, Bott, Brown, and Pelyak will be big shoes to fill.

A great foundation remains however as the lines on both sides of the ball return intact.  The OL is led by All American Tony Opperman and All UAA first teamers Marcus Kluczynski and Michael Allen.  The DL has three All UAA veterans as well.

Not real close to the JCU program, other than they have not been that strong in the OAC in the past few years. At one time they were a top 3-4 team in a 10 team conference. Word across the OAC is a change at the top should happen before now.

Dont forget the loss of Cowdrick, Kolesar and Suitca on O also.  Baum or Hokavar will after find more than Homyk and Nicely to keep that O moving.

No slight of their contributions intended, but there is experience at those positions to step up.

Was Whalen contacted by the NFL, if so I missed it?
