Your Least-Favorite School When Evaluating Prospects?
I know Clemson is a big one for people. The reputation is that their players are soft. Probably some truth to that one. USC is another school whose prospects a lot of draftniks don't seem to like.
My personal least-favorite school when looking at prospects is Ohio State. It started when the Colts took 3 OSU players in one draft and they all failed miserably. I decide to dig a little and really their prospect record is pretty bad. You've got Vernon Gholston, one of the worst busts in modern football history. Ted Ginn Jr. was a pretty bad pick at #9 overall. Brian Robiskie, Beanie Wells, AJ Hawk, Donte Whitner, I'm sure there are others. They've had good guys like Nick Mangold and James Laurinaitis but overall I look at coming from OSU as a bad thing.

Notre Dame for me. I thought Brady Quinn was going to be a very good QB, as with Clausen (thought the character issues were overblown), I thought Golden Tate could've sneaked into the first round and been a dynamic playmaker, John Carlson would be a top 5 TE and Jeff Samardzjia would actually decide to be an NFL player lol. So...with my history of picking ND prospects I sure do hope Michael Floyd goes to the Jets

Yeah have to go ND...Clemson and OSU are overstated just a tad at this point...I don't know what position I would go to ND for.
Look at the guys you listed for OSU int he original post...most of those guys are still in the league and even starting.

USC QBs are automatically over rated by 10 picks at least. Same goes for Notre Dame

USC isn't bad anymore, but it used to be horrible because when a player is surrounded by that much talent it can make them look better.
My least favorite now is any sucky school that I have to watch film of to get the guy im scouting

Oklahoma is like that for me. Adrian Peterson was the one guy from there I had a total hard on for, but other than that I get skeptical about their top prospects.

Its gotta be KU... oh wait... you wanted NFL prospects... they dont have any
honestly, when it comes to LSU, i'm a big skeptic. i know they have had some players, but the list of busts is much larger, IMO

Va Tech Hokies always look better before the draft than after they get to the NFL.

Michigan breaks my heart, because they used to have NFL talent. Way to destroy a program, Rich Rod!

I love every school, how can anybody be a draftnik and hate certain schools, that is just ridiculous.

I think the big 3 are Clemson, Ohio State, and Notre Dame.
Most of the others have been thrown around already. I hate to include USC though, because they have had many more successful players than the other 3.
