I know Mike Kitchen transferred due to lack of playing time. I don't know about the others.
Question Concerning 1999 Recruiting Class
- Thread starter goldmember
- Start date
Not sure what you mean by "what happened to them" - my guess is you're looking for where they transferred to, maybe?
Here's what I recall on each:
Selwyn Scott - actually started his first game as a true Frosh at boundary DB, in the Navy game in '99. Didn't start in another game (I think J. Cox took the job), and I read where he "failed out" the following summer. Don't know what happened to him after that.
Winfred Brown, Rod Middleton, and Mike Kitchen all transferred. I think Kitchen got the most playing time that year, he was in a couple of games, and would probably be seeing lots of action about now
If I remeber correctly, there was some sort of incident with Middleton and one of his coaches. Don't know where any of them wound up.
Hamilton - I'm pretty sure he's the kid who tore up his knee in a pickup basketball game the summer before he was to arrive on campus. I think he delayed coming to GT until his knee rehab was up, but either he didn't make it on campus, or left right afterwards the next yr.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful - my guess is that you knew all this already, but just in case you didn't, thought I would pass it along.

Selwyn Scott flunked out and now plays for Morris Brown
Winfred Brown transferred to Tulane
Roderick Middleton got kicked off the team by O'Leary....after going into the double secret dog house for a verbal altercation with an assistant coach
