ESPN had a FABULOUS show on Marcus Dupree  The Superstar Who Never Was  on  Sunday.  Showed his roots in Mississippi, the madness of his recruitment,  his stellar freshman year at Oklahoma and his departure from the the team.  All the time a pastor was counseling him, trying to get him to consider Southern Mississippi.  When Dupree left OU and just disappeared,  the pastor was counseling him.  Got him to transfer to Southern Miss  without telling Dupree that he\'d sit out a year,  then got him to stay on campus to workout for the NFL.  NFL wouldn\'t touch a sophomore, so then the pastor negotiated a deal with
The Breakers of the USFL. Â (Breakers\' GM non other than Randy Vataha). Then as Dupree\'s agent, Â he managed his money pretty much into oblivion. Â Â Some pastor. Â Dupree was badly injured, worked his way back for one season with the Rams, then retired. Â Drives trucks for a living. Â
Great show, btw, Â if you get a chance to see it. Â
