Great guy. Shitty player. He was pretty self aware and knew it. Him and his brother are fun guys.Edwin_Bambino said:Chris Izbicki lol and about a billion others.

Donny Mateaki. Kid looked like an absolute beast coming out of high school. I remember being in awe of his 400 lbs bench press.

I still say he’s better than Adrian Peterson.Mad_Son said:JR Hasty

The ‘04 class DL that all burned their redshirts and flamed out (White-Frisbee, Gunheim, Lobos, Rayford).
Matt Tui
Grady Sizemore -
Casey Paus... worst UW QB ever.

A few of these guys were fine players. But I believed the hype that they would be stars. Some just had injury problems. Some sucked. -

Nate Robinson would have panned out if Neuheisel hadn’t forced him to choose between basketball or football. He made the right choice considering his NBA career, but always wondered what his ceiling would have been in football - starting CB as a true freshman . . . Incredible athlete.

Only started TBSing slightly before I joined up here, but ones that stand out to me are:
Jermaine Kelly (his film was insane, too bad on the injury)
Laitu Latu (again, injury, but I expected big things from him)
Every receiver since Dante Pettis
Every ILB other than Ulofoshio -

Charles Frederick was the #1,2,3 ranked receiver coming out of high school during most of the year. He was a top 10 point guard as well. He never lived up to the expectations and took a back seat to Reggie Williams.
And Donny M who looked like a beast -
Charles Fredrick holds the single game total yardage record for our DAWGS set at Oregon State when Jim Moore was there to watch the winning season streak end. Instead UW won rather easily, say 34-17

I thought Craig Chambers was Reggie 2.0 after the Cal and Apple Cup games he had as a Freshman.

I literally told Eteka that with a name like his he should have won a couple of Heismans.PurpleBaze said:Eteka Huckaby

Were there ever any expectations for Sark that exceeded what he did at UW? I think he shot his average.dannarc said:Sark

I thought Chambers got the rawest Ty deal. He needed to be coached up as a player and a person and Ty just let him rot. He did have a lot of talent. Had a big drop against Air Force in the first game and I think Ty held that against him foreverBleachedAnusDawg said:I thought Craig Chambers was Reggie 2.0 after the Cal and Apple Cup games he had as a Freshman.

He wasn't the only one to make big drops though. I remember Stanback making a sick scramble in that game, rolling right, and throwing about a 25 yard lazer beam that bounced right off the space between Corey Williams' numbers. He never found the dog house.RaceBannon said:

TW just hated Chambers for some reason, but it wasn't just him. RN and Gilby didn't give him much of a chance either, and he was their recruit.
