Well we had never heard of him until signing day 2012. And then we immediately hated him as soon as he arrived on campus... so there just wasn't enough time to charge to maximum doog.
This is fun and I decided to go through all the classes in scout, since that was about the time I first joined dawgman. The only issue is that looking back there was just such HORRENDOUS classes, my god, I mean just awful classes. Anyways, here are some of my biggest misses:
Dane Crane was a big one for me.
Hoping Quinten Pounds steps up because I was fairly high on him.
When I really started TBSing closely it was Greyson Gunheim, I thought he was going to be a terror off the edge.
JR Hasty.
I dooged hard on Anthony Boyles.
Curtis Shaw, thought his speed would be insane!
Jermaine Kelly was a big miss.
Emeka Iweka was black and a LT so I figured he'd be Walter Jones.
Kurt Mangum... FML
Johri Fogerson, my O'Dea brother, so I had a blind spot. But in fairness, still one of the best HS players I've seen. I remember when he almost killed Kasen Williams in the state title game when Kasen was a frosh. And Kasen caught the fucking ball.
Weird thread. I remember reading it but didn't comment or even upvote/chin a damn thing. Went back through and made up for it. You're welcome for the retro chins fags.
As for my answers you guys nailed a lot of good ones so I'll add a couple:
Jayson Bass Marvin Kasim Keanteau Bankhead Francisco Tipoti That 5 star (lol!) JUCO WTE who never did shit Walt Winters or whatever his name was Craig Chambers (probably was mentioned but man did I whiff on that guy) Anthony Boyles

I don’t think anyone’s said Jake Locker yet, so I will. I thought he would lead us to a Rose Bowl. Led us to a sick holiday bowl and was drafted high but I honestly thought he would have a much more chinpactful UW career.
With all that being said Jake Browning still sucks.
If we're including DAT and Fattie Vanderdoes then we've gotta' include Thomas "Dad Don't Fly" Tyner and Lorenzo Booker.
Nathan Rhodes gets an honorable mention, but it's hard to hold it against a guy who's spine fell out of his body before he played a single snap.
(I actually witnessed them rip Fattie Vanderdoes's page out of the recruiting yearbook at Hec Ed ... so that's no myth ... but at the same event, I also got a recruiting yearbook that had Randall Goforth still IN it, so the recruiting yearbook pretty much included every kid we were recruiting that was waiting until signing day to announce and then there was a mad rip-fest to jerk them out of the book before the general public got access).
Nathan Rhodes. Totally forgot that name until you mentioned him. I actually met the guy at a car meet a couple years after his injury and went racing with him a few times back when I lived my life a quarter mile at a time. He seemed like a good dude. Large human.
Comments
Dane Crane: He was like the Greg Gaines of the ol...I thought.
Victor Burnett: yep
Curtis Shaw: I dooged really, really badly over him. Possibly my biggest miss considering the gap between my expectation and reality.
DT we stole from Oklahoma: can't remember his name but he was a white guy that sucked.
Jordan white-frisbee: fucker got too fat but he had one good season at dt.
Tyler Ashby: Gilby was bringing in the bigs...wait...
Ty Erics: big white kids who run fast always suck at uw. What's the deal with that?
Mike Mapu: good sized pass rushing terror jc transfer...sucked and got fat.
Ill stop there. Could go on all day.
Jayson Bass
Marvin Kasim
Keanteau Bankhead
Francisco Tipoti
That 5 star (lol!) JUCO WTE who never did shit
Walt Winters or whatever his name was
Craig Chambers (probably was mentioned but man did I whiff on that guy)
Anthony Boyles
But my biggest miss ever is an easy call:
Jim L Mora
TYFYS
T's&P's and all but is it bad that my first reaction was "holy crap I forgot the Dawgs once actually got someone from Long Beach Poly"?
