Portland Breakers' football Coach Dick Coury said Tuesday he and his staff were busy preparing for the upcoming United States Football League pool draft.

Coury said that on December 6th, the twelve USFL teams will draft players from a pool of about 30-40 players formed by the Oakland-Michigan merger and the folding of the Los Angeles franchise.

By December 10th, Coury said, the Breakers must give the league a list of 25 “territorial” players with whom the club will have USFL negotiating rights.

The USFL's “open” college draft will be held Jan. 3-4. The Breakers plan a free-agent tryout camp in Portland shortly after the open draft.
