With all the USC talk lately, reminded me of a USC Basketball Player that was insane, so good his nickname was Baby Jordan!
I haven't played against too many guys that were as explosive on Offense, or as athletic. And a great guy to top it off.
Harold Minor
I can't remember what position he was drafted, but I believe it was Lottery.
He's one of those players that always made me ask "How did he NOT make good in the NBA"?

Anyone else remember him?
Who else you got?
In college football, John Capoletti, won the Heisman, played for the Rams, did nothing.
How 'bout Sam Bowie who was drafted ahead of Michael Jordan.
1) Ryan Leaf, QB Washington State
2) Tony Mandarich, OT Michigan State
3) Brian Bosworth, LB Oklahoma
4) Akili Smith, QB Oregon
5) Lawrence Phillips, RB Nebraska
6) Heath Shuler, QB Tennessee
7) Blair Thomas, Ki-Jana Carter, Curtis Enis - RBs Penn State
8) Bruce Pickens, CB Nebraska
9) Andre Ware, QB Houston
10) Todd Marinovich, QB USC
Their list of top 10 worst NFL draft choices of all time.
Decent list, but I don't agree with about half of it.
When I was in College I used to play against Randy White in the off season. He was an average role player type. I never thought much about it, until I saw he was a top 10 pick!
I don't think that was his fault, That's bad scouting!
Shawn Bradley, NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE thought he was going to be a superstar, but he's lasted a LONG time in the NBA. I consider his career a success for his abilities.
Mark Macon, yes he flopped. Big time! What a machine in college, what a bust in the league.

As a Bears fan, Cade McKown (aka Cade McClown), Rasham Salam (pot head) and Mr. Durable (Curtis Enis) come to mind
1984 NBA Draft. The Dream goes #1 and Portland passes on Jordan for Sam Bowie. Who the fuck is Sam Bowie?
1. Akeem Olajuwon - Houston - Houston 2. Sam Bowie - Kentucky - Portland
3. Michael Jordan - North Carolina - Chicago
5. Charles Barkley - Auburn - Philadelphia
16. John Stockton - Gonzaga - Utah
Ron, there is not a Charger fan around that would not agree that trading Eli for Rivers and the draft pick that got us Merriman was the best deal in sports. Now the worst deal was Ryan Leaf.
Tony Mandrich. My Packers I think had the 2nd pick in the draft that year. They chose Tony Mandrich who didn't amount to shit. Barry Sanders was drafted 3rd by the Lions. What a blown opportunity by the Packers.
