[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 307365, member: 2451"] Overlooked? Underrated? Hmm well the posters have mentioned everyone from a modern era that I could think of at the moment. From Dodd's time, Gerry Bussell was an All American defensive back, Rufus Guthrie was an All American guard who played pro ball. Joe Auer was a fine two way halfback and defensive back who score the first touchdown in Miami Dolphin history. When asked what he was thinking as a he crossed the goal line (on a kickoff return no less) he said he was concerned about all the noise bothering "Flipper" the Dolphin mascot (a real dolphin kept in some kind of pool). From the modern era, I was thinking about Uzzi Ormegori (ah hell I can't spell it) who was a fine guard early in the Johnson era. Somewhat lightly recruited and unheralded players who overachieved is something of a Tech tradition. There are bunches of them. What we seldom have are players that were highly recruited and for whatever reason did not pan out. (Note: I said "highly recruited" think 4 and 5 stars) We don't have near as many of those for the simple reason those kind of players rarely come here. [/QUOTE]
