Which CU recruits who didn't pan out for whatever reason most excited you?

I'm probably forgetting some guys but here's my list:

Tamasi Amituani, DT
--This guy was not something CU was used to getting. I expected him to be a dynamic force

Darrell Scott, RB
---Mega recruit. I was thinking the next Salaam. Beast.

Marcus Houston, RB
--Hated how his career went. The injuries. The EB issues. If he stayed healthy I think he could have been special.

Antonio Alfano, DL
--Was super jacked about him. CU just can't have nice things sometimes.

Lynn Katoa, LB
---I was thinking here's the next great CU backer. Also thought the same about Jon Major but at least Major played. This cat didn't.

Craig Ochs, QB
---He showed flashes but I thought he'd be the next great one.

Brian Calhoun, RB
---Thought he'd be a stud.

Ashaad Clayton, RB
---Man, the hype was serious. I thought MT got a diamond.

P.S. No Russell Lovett mentions!
