Is the hype sometimes warranted with the super recruits? I mean the guys that are consensus top 5 in the nation.

I was wondering what happened to the following guys:
Sentreal(sp?) Henderson - Went to miami I think, but is he still an NFL lock?
Clowney - Looks like the real deal at SC.
Bryce Brown - Working the late shift at McDonalds?
Dequan Bowers -
Jimmy Clausen
Andre Smith

-Clowney will undoubtedly be an NFL 1st rounder
-Bryce Brown was a bust. Frankly, you can't rank anyone playing HS ball in Kansas in the top 5. Hope Rivals et al learned their lesson.
-Dequan Bowers was I believe a 2nd or 3rd round pick of the Bucs and were it not for questions about his knee would have been a top 10 first rounder.
-Jimmy Clausen was probably overrated from the start, and went to ND where QB's go to die (Gunner Kiehl take note).
-Andre Smith was a 1st rounder

I think the rankings have been warranted for the most part, and anytime LSU is able to land top 5 prospects I'd be thrilled.

Nope. They have Beckham in their top 5 and he plays ball in MO.

Jimmy Clausen fell to the middle of the second round because he didn't interview well with NFL teams(like Mallet). He's probably not even good enough to be a reliable NFL backup right now.

Andre Smith got drafted pretty high but injured himself during off-season and missed his rookie season. He's now a starting right tackle I believe and hardly ever hear any mention of him.

Clausen is perhaps one of the 5 worst draft picks of all tiem.

Our boy Andrew Whitworth still holding on to the starting left tackle spot.

Recently, Notre Dame has been a school where QB's get their resumes built up, then get drafted way too high, and then fizzle as pros. Brady Quinn comes to mind and he has started less games than Jmarc. At least he has kept himself in shape to be a suitable backup in the NFL. Historically, the Irish have produced some big name QB's though. Joe Montana and Joe Theismann come to mind.

Henderson is still at Miami and is the starting right or left tackle depending on the game. He had a serious back injury that caused him to miss a lot of time. He'll be drafted but how high depends on how well he plays. He's been pretty good when on the field

Brown can be considered a bust and I think he has left KSU but Rivals didn't miss on his evaluation. The kid is extremely talented. Anyone who remembers his freshman year at Tennessee knows how skilled he was. He just has some kind of mental problem it seems.

Bowers is a stud.

Clowney will be drafted top 3 when he leaves

Clausen was never as good as he was made out to be. His hs affiliation,state of origin and bloodlines led to that. None of those Clausen kids were anything near as good as they were hyped to be.

Powell is starting for UF but has been a major disapointment. Suprises me a little.

McFarland has played but I'm not really sure how he's panned out so far but he's at most a soph.

Powe is in the NFL

Sims was very good at FSU and had a couple of good years with the Lions. He got traded and I don't know to where.

Bryce Brown has left K State and is heading for the NFL draft

Andre Smith was lazy and hurt at first and now he is beginning to come around for the Bengals.

Jimmy Clausen may never be a starting QB in the NFL

DaQuan Bowers is playing for the Tampa Bucs

Seantrel Henderson didn't start but played a lot last year at Miami, and has started all of this year. Look for him to come onto the national scene next year as a pro prospect

The rankings have been pretty good for the most part

Some bad ones....

I think Ernie Sims is with the Eagles now. Maybe not.
