undebatable b/c RP realy never had a chance to shine.

I personally think RP was the bigger disapointment b/c he came in here with a lot more hype that Collins

At least Collin's made some money before he ruined his career.

Cecil was a beast. I think he was a bigger waste.

Exactly, he'll play at some small school this fall, and who knows...

Not really. Back then, Collins was Mr. Football in Louisiana and considered the best RB in the country. If he was being recruited today, he'd be a 5 star and one of the top 5 players.

cecil has serious mental issues, certifiable really

rp is just a waste, gave it all away to smoke some pot and sleep in a little.

therefore rp is the bigger waste of talent

I've never seen a running back dominate like Cecil Collins. I am too young to remember Hershel Walker, but Cecil was a freak. Perrilloux could have been great. Cecil was great...for five games.

Cecil

He could have been an NFL Hall of Fame RB. I don't think RP has the mental capacity to play football on the NFL level.

Deisel had more talent and has completely wasted it. Can Perrilloux still transfer to like a "McNeese State" and still play? Or is the NCAA involved now?

Cecil the Diesel. No Doubt. Cecil was one of the mosty dominating athletes to ever run the turf of Tiger Stadium. He had Michael Jordan / Tiger Woods natural ability and blew it. He was a once in a several generation athlete and blew it.

Collins was literally borderline retarded from an IQ perspective, so who knows what his upside was. I'd say RP.

RP is more of a waste. The top HS recruit in all the land never broke the starting lineup in Div 1 football.

Cecil played the equivalent of 2 1/2 games for LSU.

So far CC, he had another chance at McNeese and got kicked out there then yet another chance with Miami Dolphins before finally blowing everything and going to prison...

RP still has a chance to redeem himself...

Exactly, and he is talked as being one of the best LSU running backs ever. Perriloux has about the same amount of playing time nad has not dropped any jaws like cecil did.
