Gibalski Mentioned On Draft Site

Former Dartmouth linebacker Joe Gibalski gets a little attention in advance of the NFL draft on this page put up by "NFL Draft Scout; Premium NFL Draft Information." Without a subscription you can't read what -- if anything -- the site has to say about Gibalski, who recorded 86 tackles last fall, but if nothing else he can one day tell his grandkids he got mentioned in connection with the NFL Draft.

Gibalski is one of 19 Ivy League players included this year on the site that introduces its compilation of potential prospects this way:

The following is a list of players The SportsXchange & NFL Draft Scout are covering for the Draft, viewable by College. In June of each new season our master list provided by scouts is compiled to reflect the best possible senior pro prospects for all divisions combined. Player news, notes, college bios, press releases, photos and stats are updated for the prospects during the season, then tracked and replaced with professional scout biographies, all-star, combine and key analysis heading into the draft, making NFL Draft Scout a unique yearly evolving process of college football news topped off by college-to-pro dynamics.

What's fun is that you can go back and check out the list from seasons dating back to 1999. For example, here's Casey Cramer's page in 2004.

The Burlington Free Press tapped into the site and has its analysis of native Vermonter David Ball of UNH here. The kicker about Ball is how the analysis ends: "If he only had speed, he'd rank among the position's elite." That's almost painful to read. ...

The New York Post leads a story about wide receiver hopefuls with a look at Ball, who then doesn't merit inclusion in the list. ... The Minneapolis Star Tribune profiles him here. The paper quotes Ball: "They got me at 6-foot and 7/8 ths," Ball said with a smile. "Can I get a 6-1? Can I just get 6-1?" ...

The Daily Pennsylvanian looks at Brown linebacker Zak DeOssie's draft chances. ... If you haven't read enough on him already, DeOssie is the subject of a Q&A pulled together for ScoutNFLExperts.com ... This Q&A with DeOssie is hilarious and talks about his love of skiing. Hmmm. Maybe he would have enjoyed Hanover ;-)

Former Dartmouth quarterback Jay Fiedler is doing a good turn for an old buddy in Hanover according to this story. It notes that Fiedler and Junior Seau are going to appear at fundraiser for the athletic department at the North Carolina high school where onetime Big Green basketball player Stan Kowalewski coaches basketball.
