Out of all the highly touted HS players who signed with LSU football over the years, who would you say was the biggest bust? Cecil the Diesel? Ryan Perrilloux?

Russell Shepard. This could be because of Les Miles though.

Gotta be Jonathon Giles. He got number 7 because they assumed he'd be that great.

Russell Sheppard has the second highest 247 ranking all time for LSU recruits. I don’t put all of the blame on him but he has to be considered.

Ryan Perrilloux?


Why would this even come to mind?

Without RP we don’t win a National Championship.

A bust should be someone who showed up and was bust. Anthony Johnson, Louisiana sack leader, was terrible at LSU.

That’s not fair. Dude was injured. Let this season and next play out before labeling him a bust.

Maybe not the biggest, but Amp Hill needs to be in this thread.

Man, no kidding. I thought he was the best thing since slice bread coming out of high school. Definitely a disappointment.

Cecil Collins and Ryan Perriloux were not busts. Cecil Collins had two incredible games then broke his ankle. Ryan Perriloux was the MVP of the SEC championship game. They both had incredible ability but were kicked off the team for off the field issues. 5 star linebacker Clifton Garrett is the correct answer here.

He was so misused at LSU by Miles it is criminal.

Hakeem Nicks, never played a down and put the team on probation after some position coach tried to get him an apartment. Ended up being a really good NFL player.
There was another DT, I can’t remember his name who was never eligible.
