This is a fantastic pick.

Ricky Thenarse. Good special teams player, bet I thought he'd be our next Mike Minter.

Came to post same, nice

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

My West Point people told me Micah was the 2nd best player on their team. Take it for what it is worth but some said he was a good kid and hard worker but only got the offer because of his dad's connections with T.O added to his dad's willingness to donate some cattle/beef to the training table. They thought T.O pulled the puppet strings with Bo to get him the offer and be Bo's first recruit as a Head Coach.

It's between Adam Taylor, the RB from Texas, who never contributed or the 'he's still young but will grow' OT from Canada, David Knevel.

who was that OG that was like 16 when he got to campus? he's the all-time king of "he's still young but next year... look out!"

That was David. Every year, it was, “he’s still growing.” Yeah, we took him at a very young age.

Givens Price is who I was thinking of. Don't remember him ever hardly playing a down for Neb and he ended up in the NFL for several years.

 

[Jay Bilzerian]

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

Might’ve been the best athlete I played against in high school. Also married Tommy’s hot tutor.

Boaz Joseph. Guy never did much aside from special teams. But he had a good grill and was an really nice kid. I always wanted him to succeed.

Also shout out to Alonzo Whaley. Great dude.

I’m guessing no. IIRC it was pretty well rumored that Tommy had HEP C.

Didn't Whaley have a 5* RB brother? Maybe wound up at TX?

I don't know if this counts, but I did like Tim Marlowe. He did contribute some, but I believe injuries kept him from contributing more. He seemed to always be very dependable.

16 catches for 167 yards in his career - Return Man only and not named Devin Hester?

I was in HS when Strickland was at BW. That guy was the type of athlete that whatever sport he wanted to focus on he'd be a professional.

Was all-state in football as a SO then decided to do basketball/baseball. Played in the NBA in one, Minor League Baseball in the other.

Did you watch the hoop it up with him and Woolridge?
