    Gunheim was a damn good player but would have been recognized as great if he played on a good team or good defense. In the 2006 game against UCLA, he ran down a guy who had like a 80 yard punt return. A fucking DL running down a return guy. Gunheim would have been a beast under a real coach.

    Wasn't it MJD he ran down?

    Yeah Gunhiem was awesome. He was a guy who wasn't evaluated, but definitely deserves to be on the list because he had the raw tools. Also Emeka Iweka probably deserves to be on the list.

    And who was the tall safety who led the team in interceptions in limited playing time, had like 14 tackles against oregon, and then was suddenly seniored? Hemphill?

    It's interesting to note that our most successful players have been the unranked to lower 2-3 star guys this past decade, which shows how much of life comes down to individual effort and ambition.

    These were guys who were going to work their asses off in spite of boobs, paint dry, and snark.

    A lot of those 4 star guys believed the hype and got put on their asses for it.

    Tip o the cap to:

    Donald Butler
    CJ Wallace
    Teo Neshiem
    Khalif Barnes
    Gunheim
    Victor Ayiewa
    Glenn
    Shackleford
    Dashon Goldson
    Dan Howell
    Paul Homer

    Took this long with no mention of Jack Lockner? Look what he did his freshman year vs Ohio State? He looked like a future Heisman contender. Then by his senior year we couldn't wait for him to be gone.

    Imagine if he had a coach who didn't give a fuck about FREE PUB! in the NFL draft and allowed Jack to be an athlete who can hit some play action passes?

    When Jack ran, he ran with a purpose. He looked like a power back who had speed out there. I think how Ty didn't coach Jack at all combined with Sark insisting on making an inaccurate QB who is a great athlete into a pocket QB has to be one of the biggest coaching tragedies we've seen.

    Jack should have been a Rose Bowl MVP at Montlake and due to piss poor coaching we remember him differently.

    I started to list him and then forgot while I was thinking back to early last decade. Definitely agree.

    Foster was the anti Ty-Sark player. He led the conference in tackles as a sophomore during that dreck of an 0-12 season and was a 2 star. He's a success story.

    My Grandpa was a tosu alumnus and we went to that game in the crisp fall...God He almost willed us to win.

    May Freshman Jesus Locker rest in peace.
