Augustus?!? He didnt always handle himself well in the media, but WOAT?...come on. The guy was talented and showed it on the court a lot. He was also frustrating at times in games, yup. But WOAT? No chance.
A career stat line of 8.4ppg, 5rpg, and 1apg on 43.5% shooting overall while making 33.5% from deep and 80% from the line just isnt WOAT stats. Not awesome, but not WOAT.

Just overall bad players....

John Reik
Henig
Bunky Kaeton

Worst in terms of performing to hype....

I hate to say it, because I'm so glad he chose us, but it's got to be Malik Newman if he's done at MSU, right? His impact in recruiting and perception was very big though. Just didn't come close to living up to the hype. Definitely not the overall WOAT if hype isn't factored in though...far from it.

Poster boy for lazy coaching. McAdams was awful and he started four years. Croom never replaced him. He never paid attention to details. It seemed like we lost 2-3 games a year under Croom due to special teams.

This is a good one as far as stats not telling the story. Again, hate to pile on somebody that was asked to do something they shouldn't have to do, but talk about running up some big time tackling stats on tackles 4-6 yards down the field. He really had a hell of a nose for the ball, just wasn't quick enough to get there early. He also played with some bad teams so his DL probably didn't give him a lot of help as far as occupying blockers.

Gary Frank. Although his lackluster career could be attributed to his propensity to lay the points and take the opposing team.

After I posted this I looked up McAdams's stats. He's the school leader in punting yards, but his average per punt is pretty bad. Then again, a few 20 yard punts and the like will do that to you.

Disagree about Henig big time

Michael Henig is one of the few MSU quarterbacks who beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa. He had a fabulous game that day and he had many other very good games. He is branded by that terrible performance against LSU at Scott Field, but most MSU players have had one or more bad games. He was a very decent SEC quarterback and your claim that "he never should have played on an SEC team" is--how shall I put it without being insulting?--misplaced.

Blake McAdams

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

I honestly think we'd have been better off with 10 on the field than with Bradley in coverage.

Hi, I'm Odell Bradley, you might remember me from such films as the 2003 LSU highlight reel, or the 2003 Alabama highlight reel, or the 2003 Tennessee highlight reel, or the 2003 Auburn highlight reel....

Odell Bradley was the sort of player that never made the tackle, but was always there to help up the guy who made the tackle, assuming there was a tackle.

I always thought Adam Carlson was a horrible kicker to start 3 years. Did have one good year, but he was basically a 50% kicker outside of 2007 - and it really didn't matter what the distance was. Seems he was the same from 25 as he was from 45.

Overhyped recruits that really never played - Robert Elliott, Co-Eric Riley, Damien Robinson. They were all 4-star recruits by scout and rivals that played full careers (Riley was juco), but never made an impact in a single game.

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.

Wesley Morgan?
