when the SECCG MVP is on your list of busts, your doing pretty good I guess.

I wouldn't call him a bust from a ability standpoint. He was more of a mental bust.


Crowell is in the same boat.


Bryce Brown too.

Agreed upon al except Bryce Brown and RP

I think he would have tried to go pro day one if could have. Plus he is active right now in the League. Thats what the stars about right. Who is most likely to make it or be drafted high. He didnt get drafted but he is a fool on the field.

RP would have been great if he coudl stay on teh field.

Also Crowell is still playing college ball.

That list is stupid though. Some of those SEC schools don't get 5* like LSU/Florida. Naturally we'll have a higher bust % when we get more 5* consistently. I was impressed by Bama's bust ratio though. Only two? What does that say about Nick Saban and his staff? Amazing job developing and finding the elite talent. I guess that's why you're a modern NCAA dynasty.

RP wasn't a bust when you consider without him we wouldn't have won the 07' MNC

Al Woods should be on the list as well. Although i cant remember if he was earlier than class of 03'
Was Amp Hill a 5*? He would definitely be a bust.

Only replied to the OP so not to insult anyone, but the defense some of you have for some of these players is downright comical.

However unfortunately and untimely injuries and lapses in judgement are, a bust is still a bust. Unfortunate, yes. Doesn't change the fact that their time here was disappointing one way or the other.

What about Dubose from Florida? From class of 09. LSU wanted him I believe, but I only remember him really returning kicks for Florida.
