re: Is there a bigger f-up than Marshall Faulk being told he had to be a DB?

Was just chatting with some friends about LA players leaving the state, and how Faulk was told by LSU that he'd have to change position. Granted, almost every school told him that and that's why he went west (correct me if I'm remembering this wrong). My friend said that back in that time people had the perception that RB's had to be bruisers and Faulk was a little undersized in everyone's opinion.

What are some other examples of "WTF were you thinking" with recruits?

Sometimes it’s just impossible to quantify a players instincts and athleticism and how that transfers to the field at the next level. If it were just one school that made this assumption with Faulk, I’d question it. But there were quite a few.
