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.

Bryce Brown has been in Knoxville lately. Left KSU. Supposedly training for the NFL draft.

His problem isn't his talent. It's the mental part and a lot of his problems aren't actually his but the people around him..

Jimmy Clausen
you wish you've made the money he has.

from wiki: On July 28, 2010, Clausen signed a four-year, $4.2 million contract with the Panthers, which includes $2.53 million in guarantees

Speaking of Clausens whatever happened to Rick? I liked the guy and hoped he would do well at Tennessee. Then as far as I'm concerned he pissed in the punch bowl with his obnoxious diatribe after the Vols beat the Tigers.

I recall when I was younger, one of the most hyped players was Robert Hammond from Opelousas. He attended FLA State and did not live up to expectations.
