The all wasted talent team
QB: Isaiah Stanback - almost salvaged a pro career as a kick returner, arguably the most physically gifted UW has seen.
RB: Kenny James - I really thought this guy was going to be legit after his sick spin move 60 yard sprint to the house in Norman.
FB: Johnny Kirton - I don't know how this dude never settled in to a role, either here or te or dl.
WR:Paul Arnold - Could put him at RB, i know a lot of his issues were injury related, but he was a lock for the nfl, then poof.
WR: Eddie Jones? - The big tall fuck 5 star #1JC receiver guy who ended up transferring to West Virginia. Why?
TE: Jon Lyons? - another 5 star all everything JC guy who didn't do shit but had all the tools.
OL: Joe Toledo - played TE until his senior year, didn't do shit, drafted in the 4th round, go figure.
OL: James Atoe - Too soon?
OL: Colin Porter - Fuck you Sark.
I'm too lazy to the defense, but you get the point. Discuss.

Even though he made the NFL, I would put Louis Rankin at RB. He was a game breaker. If we had a good RB coach like Joel Thomas, maybe he would not have danced around so much. I think he could have been a great RB with proper coaching.

Totally forgot about Rankin. Throw in Marcel Reece as well. Both made the Raiders who love raw talent over production. Come to think of it most huskies end up on the raiders.RoadDawg55 said:Even though he made the NFL, I would put Louis Rankin at RB. He was a game breaker.

If its the all wasted team shouldn't ASJ be on it ... ? He got pretty wasted ...

I'd add Middleton and ASJ on the offensive side.Doogles said:Now that we have a real coach again, and inspired by DJ's ( I call him that) Rayford article, i'm thinking back to all the potential studs wasted over the past 15 years by the UW program. These are guys that had the tools, or hype and then disappeared into the night sky like the deep shade of purple.

Rankin's a good addition though he did have a really, really good senior year. It's possible he was just a late bloomer.
BTW, it was Eddie Jackson and he was only three stars. Tons of DM.c hype as a Reggie Williams type but didn't have that kind of speed, hands or strength. That height though! The lesson as always, Dawgman hype is stupid.
The real, real obvious omission on offense is ET. And maybe Craig Chambers and Anthony Boyles. You could probably add Kevin Smith who really showed flashes as a senior. Damn that fifth year.
On defense there are just so many. Danny Mateaki, Scott White, Potato, Josh Shirley, Ta'amu, Brandon Ala, Mike Mapuolesega, DeShon Matthews, Cameron Elisera, Vonzell McDowell, Everette Thompson, Craig Noble. EJ Savannah to some degree.
Oh, and from the non coaching failure dept you could go best back on the field JR Hasty and Steve Largent 2.0 Cody Bruns. Plus Keauntea Bankhead, Chris Young and Matt Tuiasosopo.
The last 15 years of UW football is just littered with four star failures.
WOOF!
