Massively overrated in HS? Just not picking up his responsibilities?
How can you go 5 star to not seeing the field with this crap line?

Overrated, overweight, injury plagued. If you can’t play on this OL as a 3rd year guy, something is seriously wrong.

I think his injury set him back immensely on learning the position at the college level.

One of the many development whiffs by o and cregg. Had he gone to bama or Oklahoma he's definitely starter quality by now

Thomas committed to LSU in the summer of 2016 when Miles was still coaching and had offers from basically everyone.

Chris Davenport - 0 starts and only 23 games played (mostly on special teams) in 3 years, transferred to Tulane

Anthony Johnson - mostly because he was the #1 DL recruit in the nation and was supposed to be better than Glen Dorsey

Clifton Garrett - ended up at a JUCO, then UAB but couldn't qualify. Not sure if he ever played again

Tyron Johnson - ended up ok but never did anything here

Maea Teuhema - kicked off team his freshman year. Didn't he end up with serious legal issues too?

He hasn’t learned how to play with pads. He dominated all camp series.

I'm pretty sure all of those guys were 5* guys too. It's not like they were some risky takes. They had offers from everyone.

I limited it to former 5* recruits. It would take a lot longer to go through high 4* busts. Busts happen when you're evaluating high school kids playing against other high school kids. OL is probably one of the harder positions to evaluate at the high school level.
