https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Marinovich
For those too young to remember him.
From:
Todd flourished and broke the all-time Orange County passing record and later the national high school passing record by passing for 9,914 yards, including 2,477 his senior year.[2] He received numerous honors, including being named a Parade All-American, the National High School Coaches Association's offensive player of the year, the Dial Award for the national high school scholar-athlete of the year in 1987, as well as the Touchdown Club's national high school player of the year.
To:
Marinovich entered the 1990 season as a redshirt sophomore and a Heisman Trophy-candidate. However, the pressure he felt off the field began to manifest itself in personal problems that affected his performance on the team. His play became erratic. After finding out Marinovich had been skipping numerous classes, then-USC head coach Larry Smith suspended him from a game against Arizona State. He developed an ear infection that prevented him from practicing.[4] His relationship with Smith became increasingly rocky --culminating when Marinovich began yelling at Smith in full view of a national TV audience during the loss in the John Hancock Bowl. Marinovich was arrested for cocaine possession a month later. Tired of the program and having previously considered his options, Marinovich soon left for the NFL after his redshirt sophomore season.

He made it to and started in the NFL. Did well when he played at SC. But yeah, I see your point.

I'm not sure a lot of folks got the point of the thread.

I believe the answer is Ronald Curry
dude was the consensus #1 recruit in both football and basketball

Adam McConathy comes to mind.
He signed with LSU then transferred to Texas and I think ended up at La Tech.

his freshman highlight video was legendary
ok. so were his other three years. my favorite recruit of the past 5 years or so. in no way is he a bust. he has definitley lived up to his high ranking. has been good since the minute he got to WV.

I think he just read the thread of the title (Most hyped recruits) and not the body of the first post (about how they were disappointments).
I really don't see how anyone compares to Alaeze, going from a top 5 national recruit to state prison in 27 months.

I remember everyone talking about Ron Powlus, but I think they talk about all Notre Dame QB's.
