USA Rugby Confirms Contracted players
Sevens - USA Sevens Men

USA Rugby has confirmed RUGBYMag's premier report of the 11 men and 7 women who have signed contracts with USA Rugby.

More are expected, but this is the list so far:

Men’s Residents
Garrett Bender (Minneapolis, Minn.)
Tai Enosa (San Diego, Calif.)
Colin Hawley (Trowbridge, Calif.)
Rocco Mauer (Cleveland, Ohio)
Folau Niua (East Palo Alto, Calif.)
Blaine Scully (Sacramento, Calif.)
Roland Suniula (Boston, Mass.)
Shalom Suniula (San Diego, Calif.)

Kelly Griffin (Oakland, Calif.)
Kaelene Lundstrum (Bird Island, Minn.)
Vanesha McGee (Ewing, N.J.)
Devin Owsiany (Royersford, Pa.)
Kimber Rozier (Chapel Hill, N.C.)

One more is expected to sign for the women's team. Meanwhile, the men's team is using the upcoming camp to decide how to fill out its list. Interestingly for the men's team, the young players who appeared to be on the bubble earlier due to family or other obligations - Maka Unufe, Tai Enosa, Rocco Mauer - are all signed.
