Favorite "Non-Contributor" of All Time

[djw004]

Anyone have a former/current Husker you thought would be awesome that never panned out but you still loved regardless?

Mine - Frankie London

I was always convinced he was going to pop off at some point, for some reason. Then switches to WR and has a total of 1 yard rushing/receiving his senior year. Didn't matter - still top 10 husker all time in my book.

who was that L handed QB who threw the TD to eric Crotch? He was a highly rated sonny, didn’t do shit other than that but loved that play

Mike Stuntz? Solid selection if so.

I loved me some Frankie London. I was convinced he was the next Tommie Frazier. 8th grade me started writing a letter to TO to tell him he should put London in over Frost after the ASU debacle in '96.

39 y/o me should now write a letter to TO and tell him and his TC buddies to stop meddling with the program. RUN THE BALL!! Did I do that right?

GREAT pull here. I'm noticing a theme - to be a great non-contributor you have to have a Kick Ass Name.

Jamayall Phillps (sp? on first name) That big ole offensive lineman never really got it going on the field but he would pop onto the Rivals Board and say hi to us plus answer some questions. Seemed like a chill dude. Always liked interacting with him. Can you imagine how much trouble a current player would get in for doing that?

No love for the "Throw God" Harrison Beck -

Chris Septak - big recruit at the time. The offseason hype articles said that offense and defensive assistants were arguing if he should play TE or DE. He played neither. I think he was injury prone.

Deante Grixby - Courtney‘s older brother. Charlie McBride used to hype up his scout team work like he was Barry Sanders.

I don’t even remember if this kid was a decent high school player

What was the deal with Johnny Stanton?

 

[Jim14510]

I held out hope for 4-5 years for Bubba Starling to give up baseball and come play QB. Does that count?

 

[HuskerGarrett]

@Amk005 the boy has never posted or contributed at all but is always there to throw you a like

Too busy slaying poon, but somehow ended up in the NFL as a fullback.
