David David was just available in Stagg. So was George Washington. George Washington playing for James Madison? LOL Now if James Madison comes along........ he is a bank buster.

Other notables:

Charlie Brown
Doug Douglas
Harry Pitts
Jesus Church
Jerry Lewis
Randy Savage

A while back I recruited a RB and a LB specifically because they had the same name as two guys on my team, just so I could have CS change them.

LB ended up as Steel Wall and the RB was Quick Silver

Came across another James James one time, but couldn't recruit him b/c he came back as poor potential.  Definitely would have been a tie-breaker though!

I took over a team in Hayes that had Oscar Myers at TE.

Best one though was trying to recruit myself one year. But I rejected a campus visit from myself. LOL
