LB Stephone Anthony, RB Cameron Artis-Payne, WR Sammie Coates, OT La'el Collins, OT Rob Havenstein, WR Tony Lippett, WR Tyler Lockett, TE Nick O'Leary, OT Ty Sambrailo, DT Danny Shelton, S Derron Smith, WR Kevin White, and on and on. woo-woo. I'm gonna be busy pouring over TV coverage and recordings this Senior Bowl week.

Terry Williams of ECU gets a Medal of Honour Bowl invite. That puts him, for now, in the late day three/UDFA range. Still, at least he's on the radar.

A nice breakdown on some of the Senior Bowl invitees from Jared Stanger at Fieldgulls:

I didn't realise that there's a WR going to the Senior Bowl called Donatella Luckett, a WR from Harding. So that means that not only might there be two prospects with girls names ( him and Danielle Hunter possibly) but There are three WRs called Luckett, Lockett and Lippett.

There's also two WR's named Tony Lippett and Sammie Coates (although Coates is a junior, he isn't playing in the Senior Bowl). It seems they were born to be Patriots. <g> I have no idea if they are any relation to former Patriots Ben Coates and Ronnie Lippett.

(Lippett especially gets my attention by playing WR and CB.)

Excellent. Shaq Mason has been added to the Senior Bowl.

Marcus Hardison has Been added to the Senior Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For some reason Hardison from Arizona State has been added to the North roster which means:

Marcus Hardison vs TJ Clemmings

Oh boy.

And on the South, I get:

Odighizuwa vs Shaq Mason

Nice.

Kevin White and Bud Dupree aren't listed.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dupree/his agent are running a little scared of his exposure in the Senior Bowl. Dupree will star at the combine where he can show off his athleticism and how fluid he looks in drills but at the Senior Bowl it's all about the one on one matches. I don't think he's the guy to excel in that scenario, he has a more rounded game that makes him so desirable.

Josh Norris on TJ Clemmings:

TJ Clemmings is going to pave roads during practice next week. Extreme functional strength.

I expect Clemmings to pull an Aaron Donald daily-double: first, domination at the Senior Bowl; second, tremendous athleticism at the Combine. I'm expecting a Terron Amstead kind of performance at the Combine. I think the combination will vault Clemmings into top-15 territory and possibly top 10. Tyron Smith-Taylor Lewan territory doesn't seem out of the question. I'm really curious how his arm length measures up.

Jake Fisher, Hroniss Grasu, Jeff Heuerman and Michael Bennett have all dropped out, per Dane Brugler on twitter. Supposedly the wear and tear of the BCS playoffs cut in to their health and draft preparation time.

Good news. Josh Shaw has been added to the Senior Bowl.

Senior Bowl weigh ins going on. This from Tony Pauline:

Ameer Abdullah/RB/Nebraska measured 5082/198. Looked like he was walking onto the stage for a Mr Universe contest. Incredibly fit.

CB Senquez Golson: 5' 8 1/2" 178#; 29 1/2" arms per Dane Brugler

Gotta run for now.

Amazed that Hardison (6031) ended up being shorter than Odighizuwa (6034) and neither is ideal, but both have decent arm length at 33" plus so I'm not overly concerned.

Quentin Rollins (29 3/8) and Josh Shaw (30 7/8) both have short arms although Shaw is borderline OK.

Pleased that Shaq Mason was over 6'1" and 311lbs. That's still undersized but it's tolerable. Smaller would have been problematic.

TJ Clemmings has nearly 35" arms. Drool.

The forgotten Carl Davis had a good day. 6'4.5", 321 lbs and 34.5" arms.

I'm glad Zach Hodges made it 240+ and has decent arm length. I think he's a linebacker for us though.

Tre Flowers is only 6'2" but his near 34" arms make up for that.

Blake Sims is 5'11" and has 9" hands. He'll struggle to get drafted.

That's my early thoughts after an initial glance.
