A lot of people see 5*'s as can't misses, but a lot can happen, from injuries to arrests.

I'd say Mizzou's best get the last 5 years was Sheldon Richardson, biggest bust was DGB,

Tennessee has only signed 5 (using 247 or Rivals). None have really been busts.

OT JaWuan James-Started every game at Tennessee all four years. First round pick last month.

WR Da'Rick Rogers-SEC's leading receiver as a sophomore. All-SEC performer. Dismissed after sophomore season though. I guess the biggest bust.

WR Cordarrelle Patterson-One and done JUCO. Set Tennessee single season AP yard record in only year here. 1st Team All-SEC. 1st round pick and pro bowler as a rookie in 2013.

RB Jalen Hurd-Enrolled in January. Will likely split carries this fall.

WR Josh Malone-Enrolled in January. Monster spring game. Likely starts next to Marquez North at WR in the fall.

We have one currently committed (WR Preston Williams) and another likely committing next month (DT Kahlil McKenzie).

Biggest bust - Enrique Davis.

Most successful - will be one of Tunsil, Nkemdiche, Treadwell or Conner.

Yes Johnson barely did anything and was always getting drawn offsides and Shepard showed flashes but combinations of inconsistency and bad utilization is what makes him a bust

Trovon Reed. He's playing as a DB this year, so he may redeem himself.

Only had two: Jadaveon Clowney and Marcus Lattimore.

Had high 4* busts: RB Jarvis Giles and Stephen Garcia (semi-bust, off-field legend).

These guys at least made moderate contributions, and provided some leadership. Busts maybe, but definitely not our biggest busts ever.
