    Tommie Smith was the California player of the year. First and last to pick UW

    Best California JC Transfer...


    Better than this guy?


    Yes.

    Tuffer Mustache - Check
    2 Rose Bowls Wins - Check
    Successful Hollywood Career - Check

    Only category Warren beats Ben Davidson is being in the HOF. No big deal.

    I would also guess he leads on the scorecard in violence against women.

    The King (Hugh McElhenny) was the best California JC transfer, by a mile.

    Shaq was the no.1 safety and no.3 overall by Scout. No. 4 overall by rivals.

    Unless Napoleon, Lincoln and Tommie Smith were concencus top 3 overall in the country, you have to go with Shaq.


    Have we ever pulled the top recruit overall?

    No knock on Shaq, he might have the most stars...but Nappy averaged 98 yards a kick return his senior year. He was Bonkers!


    That's not the question. Admittedly I started this thread thinking who is the best player aka best recruit from every state to come to UW in history. That's why unanimous all-Americans like Kikaha from Hawaii, Emtman from Washington are obvious.

    But somewhere it shifted to who was the highest rated recruit from every state. So Shaq is it from California.

    I think Grandpa Race's backstory insinuated the best guy we got from every state. "Ultimately they are all recruits, so who is the best?" Sorta thing.

    I'm also wasted at a Christmas party so I'm not going to pretend to be reading comprehension guy.

    Ben Davidson is my favorite NFL player of all time. He was a good player, but I mostly love him for his personality. He was entertaining as fuck both on and off the field. He did his own thing and never gave a shit what anyone else thought of him.




    No wonder he got some acting gigs. That's Oscar worthy chit right there.

    Aw shucks

    Join in. California should be a good one. We have Florida and Oregon too

    Is Empterman the GOAT from Washington?

    Empterman is the GOAT from anywhere.
    Agree. GOAT from snacks aisle too.

    Even though he was a walk-on, I'm guessing Curtis Gaspard was our best from Louisiana.

    Why do you hate Lonzell Hill ?
    I had no idea he was from Louisiana. I knew he played about for the Saints, but didn't know it was a homecoming. Good call.
