Can't Miss Recruits?

[NDinL.A.]

really? the 5th stringer at USC... my pick would have to be Jelani Jenkins. Had a couple that hurt losing, Omar, Trattou, Greg Little, Benn.... omar pry the worst out of that crowd d/t position needs, but im telling you Jenkins is going to be an all american when all is said and done.

OL Mike Adams and Ryan Miller come to mind as those who were so close but so far away.

IA, it's guys that DIDN'T do well, not guys that DID do well. So Marc Tyler would fit perfectly providing he doesn't tear it up these next 2 years (and from I've read, he's a had a very good camp and has moved up the depth chart)...

... Remember Mitch Mustain? We were his favorite school and we never offered him a scholarship. I'm going with him.

As NDinL.A. keeps noting, it's guys ND missed out on that haven't done well.

Mustain's accomplishments haven't matched his HS ranking so we haven't miss anything. But I believe Mustain was offered but two other guys (Frazer and Jones) committed while he dallied. As I recall he then went into a full court press (the towel) trying to finagle a slot.

Mustain didn't say "NO" to ND; ND said, "Sorry you had a ticket but THAT boat has sailed."

Mustain's in a class of his own.

Martez Wilson. He has had a passable career at Ill, but nowhere near his 5 start billing.
