otterpops Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I attend the University of New Mexico and have seen this guy play. He's tall and can leap. The knock is speed but he excells at making touch catches. Interesting to know that Levy coached at UNM in the late 50s and supposedly (according to his book) that's where he came up with the phrase: "Where else would you rather be?"
Astrobot Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I'd rather be behind a better offensive line, right now.
ajzepp Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 This draft wins the award for the most unusual names.....Hank Baskett? Guy Whimper? lol
Dan Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Why not. One more DB and one more WR and I think we're good to go.
Astrobot Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 This draft wins the award for the most unusual names.....Hank Baskett? Guy Whimper? lol Best Names Remaining besides Guy Whimper and Hank Baskett: Wali Lundy ("Big Wally") Terrence Whitehead ("Terra" Whitehead) Naufahu Tahi ("Now-Faa-Who?") Devin Aromashodu ("Aroma? Sho Do!") Grayling Love (Love The Gray Area) Domata Peko Wyatt Gayer Anthony Cannon Greg Threat Marcus Demps Jarvis Herring Bernard Lay Freddy Keiaho I'll bet we take one of these.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I'm ALL about drafting a couple WRs. Can't have enough perimeter talent!
otterpops Posted April 30, 2006 Author Posted April 30, 2006 We're not talking first round here with Baskett. The guy can play and being in the Mountain West Conference he's a bit off the radar, particularly in the east coast. And you gotta love a receiver named Baskett. Kind of like the KC guard named Shields.
Astrobot Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Plus we're missing a WR with height. Andre Davis at 6'1", George Wilson at 6'1" and Sam Aiken at 6'2" are our tall WR's. How about: Baskett 6'3" Martin Nance 6'4"
ajzepp Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Martin Nance 6'4" 677995[/snapback] Any relation to Larry?? Probably not, but just curious.
Astrobot Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 No, but: "Martin Nance quietly had an extremely successful senior season for the Redhawks of Miami Ohio. Despite incosistent QB play from Josh Betts, Nance produced good numbers and scored a career high 14 TD's, more than the 11 he had with Ben Roethlisberger as a sophomore. The way Nance bounced back from an injury that cut his junior year short showed work ethic and perseverance. As a WR, Nance has great size, good leaping ability, and good hands. He is fast for his size, but lacks ideal quickness. Nance is probably a poor mans Calvin Johnson, as the two are similar players. However, he is still an obvious red-zone threat and with some work on his route-running, could develop into a solid starting WR in the NFL. While some could consider him a borderline first-rounder, he is probably more likely to be taken somewhere in the second-fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. "

Astrobot Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 There's a lot of buzz on the Steelers website about him
