Joe Mauer was the best QB recruit in the nation. Committed to Florida State.

His decision to go pro in baseball probably altered FSU's fortunes for the better part of the next decade.

Mike Hampton turned down a full ride to FSU as a DB.

The story goes that someone in the braves clubhouse was bragging about being the fastest guy in MLB and Hampton looked at him and said you aren't even the fastest person in this room. He then dusted the guy in a footrace. I forgot what player it was.
