What player for UW never matched the recruiting hype? For me it would be Donny Mateaki and Francisco Tipoti.
I thought Mateaki was going to be a beast on the DL and Tipoti would be a starter from day 1.
Yawn...overdone thread? Try "who is your favorite husky ever"? No, that thread has been bloodied and bruised. Ok, "which husky exceeded expectations"? That one has only been threaded 500 timez over the last 30 years. Be original, it helps propgate new discussion the forum
Btw Mateaki was all muscle, no tecnique...but played ok as an upperclassman
thanks for commenting. I'm glad this overdone thread could help your overdone post count.
Sims ended up at Louisville. but this thread reminds me I watched the 2009 USC/UW game again and the freshman receiver Jon Johnson was looking good - did he die? what the hell happened?
Obvious answer - he was forced to transfer as he showed promise as a WR
Kavario Middleton would have easily matched the hype if he showed up to the weight room even once in his career. And if he wasn't a prolific campus weed dealer. You can take the kid out of Lakewood, but you can't take Lakewood out of the kid.

People forget that BYU went 14-1 and finished #5 in 1996.
