VanFulpen already expects 150 professional scouts (all of the 32 NFL teams represented along with 40-50 UFL and CFL scouts) in Little Rock that week when the players first arrive on Monday to begin working out. Veteran professional coaches with years of NFL experience, Kurt Schottenheimer and Martin Bayless, will be the coaches of the teams.

New games usually don't pull over 25-50 in their first year. I don't think 150 NFL scouts will be at that game. These all-star games always say they have that many and when they ran the TVN game (same folks who ran it run this now) they never had more than 100 that I know of. I remember being there one year and counting about 80 or 90 and they claimed almost 200. With that said I'm sure they will have close to 100 because there are some good players in it.

From what I heard around the league the sponsors pulled out and the NFLPA left them to do their own game. Wonder if this game will be a one year thing or if they will bring back the TVN and keep this one next year as well?

I was on a plane today with the two kids from Montana and got a chance to visit with Caleb a little and welcome them to LR. Seemed like a nice kid.
