Which Huskies were you most excited about that never panned out?

For me, it would be Mike Lustyk, Kevin Ware and James Johnson.

I think you guys need to look up "panned out". Jason Shelley panned out. He just couldn't stay on the team.

The biggest single disappointment of which I'm aware in the modern era is Mike Lustyk.

Tempting to say Paul Arnold, but again, look up "panned out". Arnold had back problems pretty much the entire time he was at Washington. That he was able to salvage something of his career by playing some semi-respectable receiver while being a shell of his athletic self tells you what a specimen that guy was.

I used to go to picture day. It's what I liked to do. You'd go and meet guys like Ben Mahdavi and say to yourself "that dude is Ben Mahdavi?" and wonder how the fuck they can shine on Saturdays with that body. I had a similar reaction to meeting Charles Frederick.

I did not have that reaction when I met Paul Arnold. Sitting down and relaxing, the guy's athleticism was just stand-out obvious. What a fucking shame with him. Nice kid too.

Whoever lists paul arnold is a fucking tard-fish newbie...or baabs. Btw, skill guys are small dudes sometimes unless from the SEC. pads make guys look big...hello!

gonna get downboated to bolivian for this but ronnie fouch, thought he was going to be 100x the qb lockner was.

That is actually insane that you ever thought that at any point in time

"Uh, Chambers played well when given opportunity. Aside from his mental problems, blame the coach, qb and shitty team around him." Fogerson?

I recall an interview on KJR where Craig Chambers talked about how we? covered the spread, I believe in a loss. And how that was a good thing. I believe the interview was with Mitch "Massage my meat in the Morning" Levy. Anyone else with the same recollection? He was initially recruited by Slick Ricky so not surprising he had the spread on his mind at all times.

Not panning out via almost zero return while at UW: Most of the 2013 recruiting class

Not panning out via results not being near the hype: Kenny James

Some of the guys mentioned surprise me.

Kenny James being sub average was no surprise to me. Everyone lies about their 40 time and his recruiting profile had him at 4.6+. He was 4.7+ in reality.

Jori Fogerson had some decent all around skills but was slightly built and slow. He exceeded my expectations just by seeing the field.

Jonnie Kirton was mentioned in this thread? Damn. An oversized 2* running back recruited for no apparent reason. He almost surprised me at tight end and again later on the DL, but it still never made sense to me why it was so necessary to recruit him when he was never going to play the only position that he stood out at in high school.

Come on guys, this is a fucking lay-up

James Sample.

When asked during the Army All-American event what kind of game he'll bring on Saturdays to Montlake he answered "hard hitting."

He was my instant fav from 2011 class right then.

Looking back, that class was actually pretty damn good:

James Sample
Danny Shelton
Marcus Peters
Bishop Sankey
Austin Seferian-Jenkins
Kasen Williams
Josh Perkins
Travis Feeney
Marvin Hall
Jamaal Jones
Taniela Tupou

11 NFL players.

Paul Arnold
WTF? He beat colorado for RN on road in case u forgot. His best game as tb imho. Why the arnold hate? Idiots

No hate. He just didn’t achieve the level of greatness he was supposed to. Not really his fault, but he was advertised as one of the best to ever sign at UW back in the day.

He was. He had back problems. Just like Emtman had cartilage problems.

Sample did pan out, he just panned out far better for American River JC and Louisville than he did for UW (or the Jacksonville Jagwires).

Sample attended Washington from 2011 to 2012. After playing in five games over two years, Sample left Washington and transferred to American River College. After one year at American River College, he transferred to the University of Louisville in 2014. He played in 13 games, recording 90 tackles and four interceptions. After the season, he entered the 2015 NFL Draft, forgoing his senior year. Sample was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft with the 104th overall pick.
