Player Profile: Mark Richardson

PL
Its about time you got to know some of the Gobies a little bit better. In the spirit of teamwork, we'll be profiling each other (I'm not vain enough to write my own profile) with fascinating facts

First off is Mark Richardson, the team's resident "pretty boy"

Name: Mark Richardson
Nicknames: Marky Mark, Pretty Eyes, Ocean Eyes, Delonte, Prius, Pleasure Master
Age: 20
Height: Tall Enough
Major: Computer Science
Postion: Hybrid Handler/Cutter/constant threat to score
Special Move: Super sick effortless low release forehand (the "money" throw)

Description: Stare into his eyes for too long, and the next thing you'll be seeing is a cloud of dust... and Mark 20 yards away pulling down a score. He's a threat on all sides of the disc. Go ahread try to stop his forehand. Heck, you can put a brick wall on his right side. He'll still throw under it. And for good measure, he'll break you with his regular ol' backhand. Regular enough to travel 50 yards on a line straight into a fellow Goby's waiting hands. Mark is often called on to handle, but his mastery really comes out when he lulls his opponent to sleep in the ho stack, only to make his move for a big gain on an in cut, or pop outside to catch an easy break for the score. Yeah its smooth, but sometimes the sharpest cutters are the smoothest
