Most Likely to Succeed?

PrintI remember in junior high and high school we voted a classmate as Most Likely to Succeed. He/she was the one we expected to go on to great things and probably become famous. Our winner was Herb Ritts, who was a great guy (I managed his campaign for class president, which he lost in controversial balloting) and went on to become a world-renowned photographer. (You've probably seen his shots of Madonna, Richard Gere, and many others.) Sadly, Herb is no longer with us, but his art lives on.
I would like to ask BN readers to vote Most Likely to Succeed. This is to predict who will make the most important contribution to society (and possibly become famous). This will be very challenging for you, because the finalists on the ballot are Alfred Aboya and Daniel Hackett.
Please provide your vote and rationale.

aboya
I dont understand why hackett is on the ballot at all really
I mean, aboya is already at work on his masters and has a pretty reasonable shot at actually becoming the president of cameroon
does daniel hackett have anything aside from a tattoo that says ‘italian stallion’?

LOL
this is a joke. It’s called sarcasm. I think Mitchell and OSU fell for it…
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Joke or no joke
Mitchell’s dry humor was pretty funny.

Depending on your definition of success
If it’s to be made famous by being an a-hole, then I could see Hackett as accomplishing that Spencer Pratt-type reality show douchebag.
Difference #1
Bruin players look up to Alfred, Trojan players look out for Daniel. Example: Bruins constantly praise AA2’s leadership; OJ Mayo breaks Hackett’s jaw and Dwight Lewis gets in a public hissy fit with him.
Difference #2
Alfred has to leave family and culture and enroll in school in a second language with no connections, Daniel gets in without a scholarship because his pop got a paid gig with the school.
Difference #3
Alfred is playing after earning a bachelor’s degree (and working on a masters), Daniel is considering leaving the rarified intellectual experience at USC to go pro early.
