Bringing the conversation over from the Pro Bowl thread about the caste system trying to cleanse itself of as many white players as possible I came across two players that were highly touted at the beginning of the season and have now been reduced to afterthoughts/fringe/not even worthy of being drafted:
Ryan Mueller of Kansas St - was a 2nd team all american in 2013 and had a solid 2014 campaign - no invited to the senior bowl or even the east-west shrine game. He is playing in the Medal Of Honor Bowl which must be a new very low level College football all-star game.
The same is the case for Brock Hekking - the loud, animated, brash and talented Nevada defensive end. I guess the long flowing blonde hair was enough of a deterrent for him to be invited to the senior bowl. He has also been invited to the Medal of Honor Bowl.
Both of these guys were receiving fairly high praise as draft prospects at the beginning of the season yet now have been written off as afterthoughts.
On a bright note - Bryce Petty was alot of fun to watch today, I think he answered alot of questions to all his doubters. He really reminds me of Nick Foles which to a sane person is a very very favorable comparison. Cook really impressed me with how he bounced back after a sluggish start - I am happy he will be back for his senior season. He does have to refine his game, he isn't as accurate as he should be but I like his overall game. It will be nice to have a white face up there in the Heisman convo next year.
Marcus Rush had a nice game today to cap off a very good and consistent career. He blocked the kick that led to the Spartans game winning drive. I hope he gains some momentum and opens some eyes with his talent as a defensive end.
