Alonzo Lawrence. Remember how everybody was pumping him up as the next big thing after he shut down Julio Jones in one of those high school all-star game practices. Did he even play a down for us on defense?

He actually seems like he's pretty decent football player, showing out at the JUCO level but he only has a year of eligibility left due to all his transferring.

This. And I'm surprised we've made it to the third page and no one has mentioned Lectron.

They've been too busy calling Michael Dyer a bust.

Neither were a bust. Dyer had back to back 1000 yard seasons and Lectron got hurt. You're not a bust if you get hurt. Where's the damn sense in that?

He wasn't able to live up to his potential because of his injuries. It wasn't his fault, but one could still argue that he was still a bust because of it.

JRock was pretty damn good in college. Good enough to be picked #1.

Mitch Cumstein....

Yeah, he won 8 straight as a starting freshman, but he was under center with DMac, Felix and Hillis behind him. If you include all the disappointment that his entire career has yielded he's a no brainer.

His coach was the SEC bust.

For UGA, Brandon Miller is hands down the biggest 5 star bust in recent memory

I wouldnt' count Caleb or Ealey, both of those guys still contributed. Troupe is a great choice. I'm thinking more along the lines of guys who didn't do jack shite. Brandon Miller was a pretty big bust. Jakar Hamilton is a bust. Durrell Robinson was a bust.

but so much was expected of caleb i guess is why i wanna stick with him, our HS had friggin press 24/7 for the next herschel and the fanfare was every where we played

but if you go by those criteria then ya i'd go with troupe and miller. god miller was huge
