I would also add Jermain (sp) Sharp to that list. Couldn't hack it at LSU or Southern. He had the God given talent to be an All American.
Tito Horford. A can't-miss 7-footer that was the most sought center in the country and Dale signed him. During fall practice Dale scheduled a couple of exhibition games around the state to promote LSU basketball. BMOC Tito informed Dale that he wasn't going to do any out-of-town games. So Dale informed Tito that he was history and get the hell out of here. So much for Tito Horford. Never played a single game.
Anybody else find it a little ironic that we've got this thread discussing some of :lsup:'s biggest athletic disappointments and another thread that has annointed Russel Shepard as a Heisman trophy winning National Championship quarterback? http://www.tigerforums.com/tigers-den/86784-shep-wins-espy.html :geauxtige:geauxtige:geauxtige
btw, i know the tito story. its debatable that he was ever a tiger. besides, he did play in the nba for a while.
