    So we have the "Matt Smith All-stars" we also need the "Walt Williams All-stars" guys that were hyped to no end and never made it to BYU they include obviously Walt himself, Seta Pohahau, Magnum Mauga, Travis Brown and Eddie Scipio.

    Finally we have the "Ben Olson All-stars" big time recruits that actually show up at BYU but either never live up to the hype or leave shortly after arriving. Ofa Mohetau, Jacob Bower, Matangi Tonga, Bernard Afutiti, and Shannon Benton. (This is a big list Michael Morris, Joe Griffin and Chad Barney all deserve honorable mention)
    Brian Soi belongs on this list.

    Barney was alright. Besides he was a JUCO transfer.

      Barney was a 5* recruit though no?

        Was he that high? I don't recall. I know he was NJCAA both years at Dixie.

          Yes, but as a safety. He was forced to be a CB at BYU out of desperate necessity. He probably would have been a solid safety.

          • Chad was a cool kid. I had some classes with he and Kukahiko. Those two guys together were pretty funny.

                Would you classify Jake Murphy and Brock Stratton as "Walt Williams All-Stars" or would they need their own sub-category as mid-year early mission returnees who were big names who never enrolled? Tough call. I'd throw Mulivai Pula in with the Walt Williams guys though. To Surfah's credit, Brian Soi was a great inclusion.

                Some other names for the "Ben Olson All-Stars" include: Jessi Taufi and his USC offer, Tayo Fabuluje , David Hola, G Pittman, Levi Mack, Tico Pringle, and of course, the infamous Ryan Kessman. I don't think any of those guys are on par with the hype guys like Ofa and Afutiti had though.

                  What about Jordan Cameron? Which group would he fall into?

                    Ah yes, he may be in the most important group of all. He is the MVP of guys whose SILF.

                        I had no idea you wanted to be with somebody who has been with a Heisman trophy winner. Whatever floats your boat though!

                          He wants to be eskimo brothers with Matt Leinart (If you do not watch The League you will not get that reference).

                            I'm just tryin' to get me some of that baby daddy monthly stipend. Besides, it's not often a girl can say she's been with a Heisman trophy winner AND a guy who won his fantasy football league last year.

                              It makes one wonder how many of the '03 Cougs were Eskimo Bros with Rey Braithwaite?

                                Being Eskimo brothers with someone can get you a long way in life. Just ask Taco.
