Most of the people named aren't really correct.
I'll start with '05 because naming players from the class of '09 after they've played all of one game isn't really all that fair.
'05:
Derrick Williams
Patrick Turner
Melvin Alaeze (legal problems)
Fred Rouse
Martellus Bennett (in college, looking to be turning it on in the NFL now)
Reginald Youngblood
Marlon Lucky
Callahan Bright
Jason Gwaltney
RP
Tray Blackmon
Demetrice Morley
Kevin Grady
Antone Smith
Dan Doering
Crazy to think McFadden was ranked 23rd overall in that class. That may be Rivals' worst evaluation year ever.
06:
CJ Spiller (he's on the cusp, but has never been what people thought he'd be)
Mitch Mustain
Allen Bradford
Ricky Sapp
Al Woods
CJ Gable
Brandon Warren
James Aldridge
Carl Johnson
Tebow was 22nd in that class...
07:
McKnight (could be turning it around)
Everson Griffen
Torrey Davis
Chad Jones (to date)
Terrance Toliver (to date)
Chris Donald
Ben Martin
Cameron Newton
A few of these guys aren't outright busts. Many of them still have a chance to make something of their careers... they are just guys that have not performed up to their expectations.

Most of those are decent players. I was assuming that a bust was a complete bust.

A Freshman AA who changed positions and schools. He caught a TD on Sat. and is beginning to make strides for Tennessee.

Martellus Bennett was a freaking 2nd round pick...explain to me how a guy "busts" in college and ends up being the 4th TE drafted, as a Junior none the less.

Starting at USC as a Junior?
