Lmao at Harrison Bailey. He’s up there with Ryan Periloux as the worst 5 star QBs in history. Gimme a break man. He couldn’t win the starting job at UNLV but he didn’t get a fair shake at UT? He got way more than a fair shake. He never should’ve had a scholarship offer from a place like Tennessee, but he got one. Memphis and MTSU had QBs that were more deserving of a roster spot at UT than Bailey.As I look over the posts here on VN, it seems each year we (get) players who are deemed to be program changers; some are transfers and some are HS and JUCO recruits.
Not stating any criteria but asking, who are your top three candidates of players who did not seem to get a fair shake?
For me: Joey Matthews
Harrison Bailey
Brandon Stewart (Peyton was the correct choice)
I am QB heavy on my list but, I also think had Fulmer pushed, Jerry Colquit might have gotten his Sr year back. Also, Jalen Hurd could be on this list had Jones ran the I formation.
I always wondered why we didn't seem to try very hard to get another year for Colquitt.As I look over the posts here on VN, it seems each year we (get) players who are deemed to be program changers; some are transfers and some are HS and JUCO recruits.

I don’t follow much recruiting outside of UT but is it common for 5 star QBs to fall that far? Or is he like a once in a decade bust? I mean to go from a 5 star at an SEC program to UNLV to a walk-on at Louisville without any off the field issues or injuries (or not that I know of at least) seems pretty wild.Bailey got as fair a shot as anyone and he just couldn’t play football at the sec level.

I’m not real sure. I would think there are 5 star busts year in and year out tho. Hate to use the word bust really tho, try to reserve that for nfl guys. They’re 17 18 year old kids. Some will make it some won’tI don’t follow much recruiting outside of UT but is it common for 5 star QBs to fall that far? Or is he like a once in a decade bust?

Butch was right. I can’t said Lyle, but Jalen would love been a better RB in the NFL than what he was as a WR.
He got a chance. I think he was upset Jauan Jennings beat him out for the WR2 position and didn't want to sit and wait.Preston Williams never got a chance.
I think that drop in the endzone, the last play of the 2017 USCe game, might have messed with his confidence early on.Brandon Johnson was another guy I felt never got a chance, but he had so much potential.
Fulmer never got a fair shake as a GOAT guard. NFL slept on himAs I look over the posts here on VN, it seems each year we (get) players who are deemed to be program changers; some are transfers and some are HS and JUCO recruits.
