For uga richard samuel was a 5 star I believe and was a bust. Jasper sanks was another one.
Samuel was switched back and forth from LB to RB/FB and greatly misused by the coaching staff.
Sanks was a self-made bust because he couldn't stay off the weed.

Darius Winston for us. 5* CB who was a terrible tackler and bad in coverage. Never did much.

Why do you think Samuel was switched back and forth? Because he was an All American at both?
He was a looks like tarzan kid. High school (underaged) phenom. He was 17 when he started at UGA. He never was able to translate his athleticism to the football field except for 2 games (south Carolina as a freshman and Florida as a senior).
Definition of a bust recruit.
DGD. But as far as recruiting expectations, bust.
Thompson is more of a bust because he was #1 in the entire recruiting class at a position of need.
