March 16, 20178 yr comment_254338 That Calvillo guy was pretty good. I might give him a vote. And, Simon seems like a no-brainer. How many can get in each year? Edited March 16, 20178 yr by JCon

How many can get in each year? apparently no less then 5 but no more then 7 Was reading up on Ernie Pitts (long before my time) he seems like a good posthumous selection, appearing in 6 GCs with the bombers winning 4 , 5x west all star. crazy his estranged wife killed him in a domestic dispute
March 16, 20178 yr Author comment_254350 of my picks on there, because I've really only been following the CFL for about 16 years I might be a little biased based on players I've actually watched, but my 5-7 would be; AC, Simon, Chui, Johnson, Miles, Pitts, Prefontaine
March 16, 20178 yr comment_254352 My votes: Calvillo, Osbaldiston, O'Shea, Simon, Fernandez, Greer Four CFL all-time greats with long and distinguished careers plus two of the most dominant receivers of the eighties.

March 17, 20178 yr comment_254506 My short list: Korey Banks, Arland Bruce, Anthony Calvillo, Jason Clermont, Scott Flory, Terry Greer, Brent Johnson, Mike O'Shea, Byron Parker, Ernie Pitts, Geroy Simon, Barrin Simpson, Orlondo Steinauer, Anwar Stewart, **** Thornton
March 20, 20178 yr comment_254733 Calvillo, Simon and Bruce for O. Barrin Simpson for D. Hank Ilesic for special teams (hammering Hank or Hank the shank depending on who you talk to). I thought Lovell Coleman would be already in, an outstanding player of his era.
March 20, 20178 yr comment_254740 This list is really surprising to me. How aren't Chris Schultz, Mike O'Shea, Terry Greer, & Mervyn Fernandez already in the HOF? Short(ish) CFL careers for Greer & Fernandez I suppose, but they're some of the first names I remember as stars in the CFL when I started watching football as a kid.

March 20, 20178 yr comment_254743 I remember Kelvin Anderson well from the 90's - 8 consecutive 1000 yd rushing seasons.

March 20, 20178 yr comment_254808 Personally I'm surprised that GBill has been overlooked yet again. I'm calling on the CFLHoF to award him the "Greatest scooper in the whole universe" award and then immediately retire that category.
