We have had a lot of 2 stars do well so the list could be long.
I vote for Chris Relf to get it started...heck he might have been a 1 Star..

Jeffrey Simmons. I think he's the best DL I've ever seen at MSU. I think he's more dominate than Fletcher Cox.

Darius Slay deserves a mention here. Was completely dominant his last 1.5 years and has turned into one of the best CBS in the league.

Markell Patterson developed into a really solid college player who doesn’t get a bunch of mentions anymore.

For baseball, Cody Brown. Played every position on the field, was very good at the plate and savy on the bases, and made significant contributions all four year. He was basically a super-utility/glue player who brought it every day his entire career.

He will be missed more than we realize this year- one of my all time favorite diamond dogs.

Vick Ballard had a 2* ranking when we got him, which was ludicrous. He ran a sub 4.5 40 in Juco at around 195 pounds. He had the most rushing touchdowns of any RB in the SEC in 2010...more than Mark Ingram, yet he's routinely forgotten about. He also averaged nearly 6 ypc during his 2 years at State which is unusual for an MSU RB.

I was going to disagree with you on Willie Evans because I had thought he was named a Dandy Dozen but he wasn’t. Link: Here.

He should have been named one though.

Probably my all-time favorite State athlete. I always heard Gholar would have been an NFL player if he had played 4 years of football.

Old skillet hands, KJ Wright. He didn't get much attention coming out of high school and was never the marquee name, but he's quietly had a pretty successful NFL career.

I was thinking he was more highly regarded so I checked his Wikipedia page & saw two things I didn’t know... one of his aunts integrated Alabama (Wallace’s Stand at the Schoolhouse Door) and former US Attorney General Eric Holder is his uncle (by marriage - Holder is married to another of Jeff Malone’s aunts).
