In making your decision follow the criteria:

1. Had to have significant playing time
2. Had to have a super strong ****** body of work
3. Doesn't matter about their off the field antics, we're talking during competition
4. All sports can be considered.

Sam Frost.

****** middle infielder. Bad hitter. Consistently popped up bunts. Only started because he was a Cohen favorite.

Mike Henig has to be in strong contention, though he never should have played on an SEC team period

You're criteria basically just ensures that we badmouth people that were put in a position they should not have been put in because a coach screwed up recruiting and/or managing a roster. The top half dozen or maybe dozen players will be players that played hard but only played SEC ball because Crooms was a terrible head coach.

Frost was actually pretty decent his senior year in 2013

He hit .302 and was 7 for 7 in stolen bases. He had a pretty good glove but Cohen played him a lot at 3rd base, where he didn't really have the arm to make the throw across the diamond. Most of his errors were throwing errors. Definitely not close to worst ever baseball player.

If I understand what WOAT means, then Dante Walker. Got fatter and slower over the years, and Sherrill wouldn't play him much until he could no longer be effective.

Yeah. I don't get the Frost hate either. I swear I recall a few clutch hits of his during that 2013 run to Omaha as well. I could be wrong. Crap arm from 3rd, though.

If the list must be done(and truthfully I wish It wasn't), I would recommend that you add there was some level of hype to the player coming in.

I don't think a walk-on or what should have been a career backup forced into playing because of injury or the damn coach couldn't recruit better talent shouldn't be subject of the list.

Someone that gave it their all in the face of lacking SEC talent gets a tip of the hat from me not ridicule.

I have disdain for the guy or gal with SEC talent that drags *** and doesn't try.

But I'm just one guy with one opinion.

You knew it was over when he came in. But, not in a good way.

Will Prosser. Slower than sloth **** off the line. Caught a coupla passes circus style though. But don't hit him in the stone hands. For some reason he is my favorite target on NCAA 2008; digital version will prosser was money.

That Alabama team

was 6-7, and had Shula as its head coach. Mullen would've beaten that team 40-10.

We aren't exactly talking about the 2015 Alabama team.

That win is not impressive, at all.

Couldn't imagine anyone with significant playing time worse than Henig. The guy was just horrible. After he broke his hand we managed to win enough games with a true freshman that couldn't throw the ball more than 10 yards down the field to go to the Liberty Bowl. Beyond that, the freshman never saw significant playing time again after that year with us and transferred out. Pretty telling that the crowd let out a fairly noticeable cheer when Henig left the field for a short time from being hurt at home.

is what we called him. He could come in with 2 on and nobody out and throw 6 pitches and get 2Ks - then get absolutely blown out of the game with walks and HRs. Anything less than a 3 run lead I would just pack up and leave because the outcome was not good.

Agree completely and that is why the first response of Renardo is the undeniable winner.

I'll throw Johnny Walker's name in the hat. Don't particularly remember anything about him other than the annoying way Flick called his name when he scored and that he was one of the leaders of one of our worst basketball teams. I remember Vandy beating us at home by about 50 that year.

Bunky Kateon.

Came in as a freshman shortstop with all kinds of hype, and then he couldn't field a ground ball, much less hit.

That Mississippi State team won 3 games that year, lost to Tulane a year removed from Katrina, and didn't score a single point the first 2 games. We weren't exactly competing for west titles. If not for Maine, 2006 is probably Croom's worst team.

Of course we

sucked. So did Alabama. Beating them wasn't an accomplishment.

He really didn't beat them, anyway. Our D and running game won it.

Henig's QBR that game was 30...
