WINNIPEG -- Maybe its third time lucky for linebacker Ejiro Kuale, who has bounced around a bit since he was released by the Toronto Argonauts after the 2012 season ended with their Grey Cup win.
Dan Majerle Jersey . As the Winnipeg Blue Bombers opened their main training camp Sunday, Kuale is one of the newcomers brought in to bolster a sagging defence that ranked overall where the Bombers finished 2013, in the CFL cellar with a league high 585 points against. After brief stints in Montreal and Saskatchewan in 2013, Kuale is entering his fifth year in the CFL in Winnipeg, where the Bombers are now coached by former Toronto special teams co-ordinator Mike OShea. The two have a lot of good things to say about each other. "He understands what its like to be a player," says Kuale, who played special teams in Toronto when OShea was there. "He approaches the game differently from any of the coaches Ive ever been around." The Bombers are in need of a middle linebacker after star Canadian Henoc Muamba jumped to the NFL and Kuale, six-foot-two, 238 pounds, is certainly a contender. "Theres good competition at that middle linebacker spot but Kuale is, having coached him in Toronto, hes a different type of player," said OShea. "Hes very physical. Hes always in great shape and he can be a leader, that sort of emotional type of leader for guys. Hes come in and hes not let us down." For someone who will turn 31 in July, Kuale showed no ill effects Sunday from a four-and-a-half-hour practice in weather that wouldnt have been out of place in his hometown of Daytona Beach, Fla. "I feel great today although I should have brought my old cleats, my brand new cleats have my feet hurting a bit. . . I pulled a rookie move, Im a vet, I should know better." Veteran offensive lineman Glenn January liked what he saw at camp. The O-line is another place the Bombers are looking to add talent. "Everybody thinks they look good May 31 or June 1 but I think were looking pretty good," said January, entering his eight season in the CFL and sixth with the Bombers. After disappointing fans with as 3-15 season in 2013, January wasnt getting too bold in his predictions. "They should be expecting a better season than last year." But he says the labour dispute between the league and players isnt getting in the way of business on the field. "Its Day 1, lets focus on football." OShea agreed, saying he sees no signs the players have anything but playing football on their minds The defence is coached this season by Gary Etcheverry, another favourite of OShea who is known for taking an unusual approach. "We have to forget everything weve learned about football and buy into what coach Etch is trying to teach us," says Kuale. Defensive back Johnny Sears says its going to be unique and the kind of defence opposing teams may have a hard time preparing to battle. "You cant get a bead on it, its different," he says. "I might not be playing the position you see me playing today... The scouting report says `This guy plays here. Next week when they see us, I might play there for the first snap, who knows the rest of the game... I think thats a good advantage for us." The first day of camp brought its share of injuries. Former Detroit Lions running back Kevin Smith was sidelined with a hamstring pull when he jumped to make a catch early in practice. Canadian wide receiver Jordan Brescacin also had a hamstring injury. Canadian linebacker Jesse Briggs was favouring an arm but OShea said they didnt have a report on what might have happened. Offensive lineman Paul Swiston wasnt on the field and is still recovering from off-season surgery, said the coach. Defensive lineman Willie Moseley is expected to return in a couple of days from a muscle strain.

Unfortunately for the Cleveland Cavaliers, James Harden was in the building.Salt Lake City, UT (SportsNetwork.com) - As one of three games on Wednesday to feature a pair of nationally-ranked programs, the eighth-ranked Wichita State Shockers pay a visit to the 25th-ranked Utah Runnin Utes in non-conference action at the Huntsman Center. The undefeated Shockers are playing their first true road game of the season in this one, although they did take on Memphis on a neutral floor in South Dakota a few weeks back. The most recent outing for Wichita State came over the weekend against Tulsa, a game which the Shockers dominated at Koch Arena by a score of 75-55. All four victories for the Shockers have come by no less than 15 points. As for the Runnin Utes, they too have played almost exclusively in front of the hometown fans, en route to five wins in six tries. The team is riding a four-game win streak at the moment thanks to a 93-62 romp over Alabama State last Saturday. Winless in all four trips to face Utah in Salt Lake City over the years, the Shockers trail in the all-time series by a count of 6-1, although the teams have not met in more than two decades. This is the first game between two Top-25 programs in the Huntsman Center since 1999 when the 12th-ranked Utes took down the 21st-ranked Lobos of New Mexico. For the Shockers, Tulsa was a bit of a handful in the early going, but then the WSU defense went to work and held the visitors to a mere seven field goals in the first half, en route to a 40-22 lead at the break and eventually the 20-point victory. Fred VanVleet tallied 21 points and handed out nine assists for the hosts, followed by Ron Baker with 19 points on the strength of his 6- of-11 shooting behind the 3-point line. Darius Carter pitched in with another 14 pointts in only 18 minutes of action.
T.J. Warren Suns Jersey. Through four contests the Shockers are lighting up opponents for 80.5 ppg, while at the same time limiting those foes to just 55.5 ppg, although much of that scoring differential can be traced back to a massive 105-57 thrashing of Newman a little over a week ago. Baker paces the program with 18.5 ppg, hitting his 3-point attempts at a 46.2 percent clip, followed by VanVleet who not only pitches in with 13.5 ppg, he is also responsible now for 20 assists and 13 steals. Carter (12.5 ppg) and Tekele Cotton (11.0 ppg) combine for 9.3 rpg which is a good sign, but their collective 12-of-24 showing at the free-throw line is not all that encouraging. The Utes had very little trouble with Alabama State, scoring the first points of the meeting and never looking back as they shot 53.3 percent from the field while limiting the Hornets to a mere 35.2 percent accuracy. Utah, which scored 30 points off turnovers and had only eight miscues of its own, did struggle at the free-throw line (19-of-32), but that mattered little in the 31-point decision. Delon Wright came away with 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists, Kenneth Ogbe 19 points as he converted 3-of-6 shots from beyond the arc. Dakarai Tucker pitched in with 12 points off the bench, while Jakob Poeltl and Dallin Bachynski accounted for 11 and 10 points, respectively. Wright is responsible for 15.3 ppg to pace the Utes, adding 29 assists and 11 steals, while Poeltl is in for another 12.0 ppg and 9.3 rpg. Forced to sit out a couple of games and listed as questionable for the outing on Wednesday is Jordan Loveridge with a sore hamstring, which means someone will have to make up for his 11.5 ppg.
