Mississippi State

1. Darren WIlliams S (Parade All American) never did much but get in trouble with the law, and was shot and killed about a year ago in Atlanta

2. Dontae Walker RB (Parade All American) Poor Work habids led to his demise along with weight gain, drugs, and problems with the law currently an inmate in the Mississippi Depart of Corrections.

Darren Williams was a much bigger bust than Walker. Williams was the #1 S in the country 5 star can't miss prospect that seems like couldn't get it together to get on the field. Atleast Walker played and started for much of his 4 years. Neither lived up to their potential, especially their NFL potential.

Demetrius Summers, big time in-state recruit.. only played I think 1 or 2 mediocre seasons. Oh yeah and Kenny Irons transferred to Auburn from SC because Summers was given his place at SC.

Chris Smelley, another big-time recruit who I believe held 1 or 2 AL high school QB records.. and, well, we all know how that turned out.

Billy Ray and Jeff Dunn. Ray was supposed to be the next Joe Namath at Alabama. As it turned out, nobody even remembers his name. At least, most people don't.

If not limited to football....I'd have to say Lester Earl for LSU in basketball. So much hype....such poor performance (before he skipped off to Kansas)

For LSU I would have to be Cecil Collins and Ryan Perrilloux.

But here's a couple other guys. Damien James. Quit on the team. Never turned out as great as expected. And then Kendrick Allen. Never ended up being as great as projected.
