Speedy wideout inks with Esks



(Edmonton) The Eskimos have signed import wide receiver and punt returner Vince Strang III, the club announced today. After playing two seasons at Orange Coast College, Strang transferred to California-Berkeley where he made the team as a walk-on. He played 22 games as a wide receiver and punt returner for the Golden Bears. His senior year he played 14 games and recorded 17 receptions for 205 yards and five touchdowns and returned 27 punts. His coach at Cal was former CFL player and coach Jeff Tedford.

The Huntington Beach native played for the San Diego Riptide of Arena Football 2 in 2005 and attended the Calgary Stampeder training camp in 2006.

Height: 5-9 Weight: 160 ?

Why aren't we signing any big names? Are we going to be the Eskimos College team. And look how small the guy is.

Re: Receiver Signed

Competition for Tompkins.....speaking of which I have not heard anything about his status, he wanted to leave last year but could not, I wonder if he will try to give the NFL a shot this year. (though the way he played last year he'd have a tough time getting a look)

Re: Receiver Signed

team. And look how small the guy is

small? Giz was: Height: 5' 6" Weight: 185 lbs ...

Ya'd think after what Giz did here you wouldn't worry about size :

Huh.. we sign no names TC fodder every year.... and why do we want big names? 1. it would mean the scouts aren't doing their jobs and we have to recycle other teams players..., dont we wanna get younger ? and 3. FA doesn't start till feb 27 ( there around )

Re: Receiver Signed

There are many great players under 5'10. Giz was/is a tank for his size.

Re: Receiver Signed

He didn't stick with Calgary last year. So, was he out of football?

Re: Receiver Signed

Just a short list of great undersized players (for their position) to consider. The Giz; Jim Sandusky; Brian Kelly; Larry Highbaugh; Mike Pringle; James (Quick) Parker; Elfrid Payton; Andre Francis; Malcolm Frank; the list goes on...... Like they say at Christmas. Good things come in small packages. Hopefully this dude is a keeper.

Re: Receiver Signed

i dont know if this guy will make the team, he nplayed for Arena football 2, and then was cut by the Stampeders. Not a very good resume.

I have the same opinion. But you never know.
