Fournette will not be a bust
Barring injury, he's not likely to be a bust, but the expectations being placed on him by many fans are unreal. He'd have to be the greatest running back in NCAA history to match the plaudits some LSU fans are heaping on him. I get the excitement, but the older fans should know better -- we've all seen can't-miss prospects struggle for a while when they reach the next level, be it college or the pros. LF is going to be running into some damned good defenses over his college career.
Edit: My pick for bust is Lorenzo Carter. He has the tools, but his tapes have been underwhelming. I suspect he's going to have a very tough adjustment to the college game.

Roc Thomas. Kid is injury prone and probably wont make it through an entire season at the college level.

Yeah, LSU fans have already proclaimed LF a combination of Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker. He could be one of the best SEC backs of the last 25 years and still not live up to expectations.

He won't see the field much. Not because he's a bust, but because we return 20/22 deep on defense and we have a good rotation of Dlineman this year.
Same goes for Sony Michel. He's going to be 5th on a depth chart of unbelievable backs.
Both will be studs next year (2015) when they see the field
