No love for Perry??

 

[Briancuse]

Off top of my head:
Rob Konrad
Johnnie Morant
Cecil Howard
Doug Hogue
Tommy DeVito

Morant for sure I knew him and played against him growing up. He was a special talent and really good guy.

I don't have a top 5 list, I tend to take football recruiting with a big grain of salt, but remember Kentarious Womack? I fully talked myself into that kid becoming the next great quarterback at SU.

1. Donovan McNabb

He was supposed to bring balance to the force

 

[NineOneSeven]

He was a carbon copy of his #5 predecessor!

Dude played 12 games senior year and threw 10 touchdowns... ridiculous how different the game was

 

[Chip]

In no particular order:

Johnnie Morant
Dulayne Morgan
Dwight Freeney
Scott Freeney
Delone Carter

Honorable mention goes to Lavar Lobdell.

OP and using the words ‘all time’ go together like lamb and tuna fish

 

[RICuse44]

Dulayne Morgan
Johnny Morant
James Mungro
Rob Konrad
Johnny Miller

I really thought dulayne Morgan was the second coming of LT when he was recruited. Same number at least

And as a recruit he was a complete afterthought.

Didn’t he replace Nunes and debut by beating WVU on the road with a TD winning pass? I think that was RJ. That was so good. I worked on a Heisman sign after that win.

Nobody had Robert Washington? I seem to recall great craziness with him and his committal, short as it was.
