Quarantine Series: The Player YOU Missed On

[Shooter McGavin]

Yeah, for some reason when we signed him out of Texas as a 4-star and his dad being a coach I had high hopes. It happens mane...….

You think Randy should have redshirted him?

 

[CANEMC]

This is deeeeeeep lol

Thought we had one! Speed and all.

 

[Ethnicsands]

I'm sure we all have a player that we thought was going to be the next (insert any UM HOF'er here).


Who is the one player that you held near and dear (maybe, as a freshman), and then this player -- for one reason or another -- didn't pan out like you had hoped? And why?


I'm going with Tyriq Mccord(highlights). I thought guy was a 1st round pick based on his frame and aggression and twitch. Turns out, he wasn't the fastest or the strongest. And not many 240 pound lineman make an NFL roster.

Don't matter, he just wasn't vey good, but I had high hopes

 

[Gooner#44]

Anyone remember Jermaine McKenzies HS film where he juked that kid on the sideline like 3 times until he fell down? Man I thought he was gonna be the goods.

 

[Cribby]

Julio Derosier

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Storm Johnson and Eddie Johnson

Storm Johnson and Eddie Johnson

Eddie was the GOAT. Straight up. @Gooner#44

Ryan Moore: kid had everything you look for in a wideout. Just never took it to another level.

Wasn't he like 220 pounds as a sophmore?

 

[RealRussellPumps]

You know this man, that night vs VT when he was talking sh-t to the entire VT sideline, oowwwwwweeeeeeeee, I loved that kid

 

[Poptimus]

Willie Williams

I also expected more from Jammi German.

 

[ChoadCane]

My answer would be Marques Gayot. I remember him straight up slamming a dude freshman year and I thought he's be the next beast at LB or S. Neck injury ended his career. I thought Josh Witt would be good too. And Figs. And Eddie Johnson "The Dark Knigga". Anybody remember being on CIS for the sunshine meter threads and Eddie Johnson? Good times.

Gabe Terry was on the Goon Train as well

Idk why but I was watching the 2012 Nd game in Chicago again and that roughing the punter call on him was absolute horse****.

 

[6ix Natty's]

Vaughn Telemaque, til this day I don't know how that one didn't work out

 

[Ethnicsands]

For me, short answer is Willie Williams.

Beyond him, here are some guys who I was excited about as recruits/frosh whose careers didn't or haven't yet hit what I expected. Excluding people who got injured.

Shannon: Randy Phillips, Allen Bailey, R. Buchanon, B. Washington
Golden: M. Bunche, A. Chickillo, D. Owens
Richt: De. Johnson, Navaughn, Jon Ford, Jarren Williams, Mallory, Pope, Frierson
