That class had a number of promising DBs

that never really amounted to anything.

Freddie Parrish - Scout #7 Safety, 4 Star - Transferred to Stephen F. Austin (had to look that one up). Played as a frosh but did not do anything past that. Was from Long Beach Poly, they have a reputation for guys that don't do much in college.
Labrose Hedgemon - Scout #25 CB, 3 Star - I think he was suspended for a bit along with Ashley McConnell, Dwight Stephenson. Never really did much
Isaiah Gardner - Scout #18 RB, 4 Star - Played running back in high school, committed here without ever visiting, transferred to Maryland in short time. Remember him being our "fastest player"
Ambrose Wooden - Scout #14 CB, 4 Star - Probably did not live up to his hype, but wasn't a bad player.
Tom Zbikowski - Scout #6 Safety, 4 Star - Almost forgot him. I won't include Chinedum, as he was a WR coming in.

It's interesting how different Weis and Willingham recruit DB's. Weis recruits guys that played DB in high school. Willingham really didn't care. Gardner was a RB, Wooden was a QB, Zibby was a QB, etc. I even remember Lambert playing LB.

I am glad we don't follow those recruiting standards anymore.
