In summary, it looks like the USFL/WFL lost some talent. All of the players listed the past couple of days are just the recent retirees, we still have our previous retirees that are still on the ballot. I will need to pare down the new nominees a little bit so the ballot isn't too cumbersome.

If anyone has any opinions, or feel I missed someone, by all means let me know in the comments.

Oklahoma QB Tony Smith LDE Joe Braatz

Memphis named their retiree and I didn't see any possible nominations from Houston or San Antonio. I did see my former LB Jim Leclair retired and I would love to add him to the list but his career numbers say he was just pretty good.

I checked Houston.....2 retired and were just good players nothing Hall worthy. You can start the bust for Tony Dean but hopefully it's 10 to 12 years years away.

Hold the phone........

I double checked WR James Connelly and believe he deserves consideration.

Total TDs 86 (10th alltime)

Kickoff return yards 4529 (8th alltime)

See, that's why I ask for nominations. For some reason, I only saw his rushing stats and moved on, yet other RB's I checked receiving/returns. My bad, thanks for pointing this out.

QB Smith IS & always will be a SA Gunslinger.
The 1st overall pick in Franchise history "signed" a one day contract to retire in the Green & Blue. :)
