This was
@WoolleyDoog's idea on our last podcast. Who are the top Huskies who got a raw deal, one way or another, while at UW?
Off the top of my head, some players I have felt bad for:
Brendan Radley-Hiles -- Talented and aggressive kid who transfers from Oklahoma to UW probably because he thought we were DB U. Instead he ends up playing for one of the shittiest teams and coaches of all tim.
Aaron Jenkins: One of the top running back recruits in the western United States in the mid 1980s. Tore up his knee early on and became a pedestrian fullback. Got his degree though.
Dylan Morris: If he ever had a chance to be decent at all, it was destroyed by playing for Lake and Donovan.
EJ Savannah - Had the ability to be a pro linebacker, either NFL or CFL. Instead, ended up hanging out with me at Herb Mead's office after Tyrone Willingham quasi-suspended him for reasons that he would never disclose, even to EJ (according to EJ).
Chris Hemphill - A legitimate NFL prospect who was Suddenly Seniored by Willingham in 2006. The rare times he got to play, he put up impressive numbers.

A fucking incredible athlete that could play WR, TE, RB, and FB in the NFL that was barely used on terrible Tyrone Willingham teams.
He has the longest UW play in history (98 yards) on a stupid playaction passing from Lockner in his own endzone where he fucking torched the entire Arizona defense. Of course UW still lost the game.
Stanback was wasted with crappy coaching and a ill timed injury.
Chris Stevens always made plays on those Tyrone teams and promptly was ushered back to the bench.
Jesse caller and Deontae Cooper both were promising prior to injuries. That was a shame.
Wait we are talking about the all Raw Dawg team, Right?
I honestly just think Morris isn’t that good regardless of how bad the offense was. He made some of the worst decisions I have ever seen from a QB.
Players on this team who got a raw deal are Cade Otton and Jaxson Kirkland who were at the top of their position, came back, and have probably really hurt their draft status by how bad the team was.
I dont believe for a second they were asked to get big. They played madden and sat around and did fuckall and got fat(ter).
BUT STILL, these guys won the fucking genetic lotto, are starting pac12 OL with draft projections, within 24 months of possible generational wealth, fucking go work out and have a good diet on your own you fucking lazy retards, they didnt even need to go to class, it was all online, literal dream scenario of not having to play school.
For fucks sake Jimmy you picked a shitty time to fuck up. UW wins the north this year and we? either lose Jimmy or pay him a shit ton
Jimmy may have taken the university for a ride but he cost himself even more money
