Alot of fans will disagree with me on this but Trent Thompson for UGA was a pretty big bust.
He had one decent season, then got addicted to opioids or something similar after a surgery and was never the same player.
He had loads of potential, was the #1 rated recruit in GA and maybe the country IIRC. Problem was he wasn't motivated to be the best and would not put in the extra work which is demonstrated when the draft came. He should not have left early but even if he would have stayed another year he probably wouldn't have improved all that much.
