Walker had glimpses of greatness but the fat and the thug life was too much. He is pushing 300 pounds now and last pic I saw if him rocking an Bama hat,

For me, it was Prince Hall.

Tons of talent. Wasted.

quote:

He was the inside linebacker at the University of Alabama. The big dog freshman who came in and wowed the SEC with his play at such a young age. Yes, Hall had all the markings of a thoroughbred at linebacker and was destined to go down as one of the all-time great ones.

Hall was the guy who was so good that he started nine games as a freshman and earned freshman All-American honors as well as lots of other kudos. He was pegged to be a four-year star and then a certain NFL first-round pick.

He had a sensational second year, again earning more honors. His third year was to put him on the fast track to the All-SEC Team and All-American tour, as well as a draft choice that was at one time thought to be a sure first-round pick.

Then came trouble. I won't go into the rules he broke, but let's call it bad behavior. You don't get to be star on Nick Saban's team and break the rules. Despite the team's bad first season—by Saban standards—and a shortage of talent at linebacker, Hall was benched.

His time in the doghouse showed him there was no forgiveness from Saban. This was his second time in the doghouse, so he left.

, Cecil Collins,


Not being the homer, but Collins would be the guy the #1 guy on this list. His limited production at LSU was tremendous. He could have been one of the top 10, if not top 5 running backs of all time, imo....if he wouldn't have had certain fetishes.

Marcus Dupree is the rightful champ.

If I had to say one for Alabama, I would have to say Star Jackson

Mizzou
Tony Van Zant RB no 1 recruit class of 86, blew his knee in a HS all star game and never recovered fully. One of the many stories from the Dark Ages of Mizzou Football.
