I would say back-to-back BCS bids is pretty impressive from this group. Not sure which of these players have failed to live up to their potential.

Brady Quinn- Heisman finalist.
Shark- Back-to-back Biletnikoff Award finalist
Abiamiri- Potential first day draft pick.
Sam Young- Freshman All-American
Rhema McKnight- Set several ND receiving records
Landri-playing his best football of his career.

If anything, they are surpassing their potential.
