Every program has 'em, the guy whose signing we celebrated, whose absence or minimal impact we then fret. Introducing the Now-or-Never All-Stars, a look at former highly-rated recruits who just haven't blossomed as expected, for a variety of factors. In our inaugural edition, we're tackling players from the SEC West.


Alabama: O.J. Howard, TE, JR
Auburn: Tony Stevens, WR, JR
Arkansas: Jeremy Ward, DL, SO
LSU: DeSean Smith, TE, JR
MSU: Chris Jones, DE, JR
Ole Miss: Channing Ward, DE, JR
Texas A&M: Brandon Williams, HB/CB, SR

Thoughts?

LSU threw the ball to TE's more in the spring game than we have in a looonnnggg time. Could definitely see DeSean getting his fair share of the rock this year.

He could have a monster first half of the season because no one would be expecting LSU to use him.

OJ Howard is a monster. Bama just didn't spread the ball around last year, not his fault

Perfect choice for Bama.

There are actually quite a few choices for Bama because a lot of highly touted recruits get buried on the depth chart.

A couple more just from OJ Howards same recruiting class alone:

Reuben Foster - LB (5* and #6 on 247 composite rankings in 2013 - minimal impact first couple of years)

Robert Foster - WR (5* and #23 on 247 composite rankings in 2013 - minimal impact first couple of years

Robert Foster too. #2 WR in 2012 or 2013 247 Composite and hasn't started a game yet. He tore it up at A Day though.

Reeve Koehler would be my choice. He's a 4* kid out of Hawaii who hasn't moved ahead of the 3rd team OL in 3 1/2 years.

Poor taste listing J Ward who has had chronic back problems along with back surgery. He is probably headed for a medical scholarship if the reevaluations aren't positive.

His orthodontist thinks this kid is a 3 time All-American.

He is a good kid and is willing to switch positions to try to get into the league. I am not writing him off yet.
