I don't think 1 player in this list really lived up to expectations/recruiting hype.
Blake would probably have had a better career if he would have started off at another position (safety?) and stuck with it for 4 years.
Cyrus Jones...meh.
Derrick Henry...Looks like Tarzan, runs like Jane. Would probably be a better TE.
Eddie Jackson...the jaws of life won't be able to remove the image of him falling down while OSU's WR scores a TD
Good Lord. Another one of these Bama fans.

Cyrus Jones...meh. our best corner
Derrick Henry...Looks like Tarzan, runs like Jane. Would probably be a better TE. our leading rusher
Eddie Jackson...the jaws of life won't be able to remove the image of him falling down while OSU's WR scores a TD. the guy that worked his arse off to recover from a spring camp acl injury. shocking he is not at 100%
seriously, just how retarded are you?

Oh, I don't know. First Team All SEC, First Team All American, SEC record holder, 2nd round draft pick, NFL 1,000+ yard receiver.

Imagine how many yards a REAL QB would have put up in this offense...especially since Kiffin was so quicl to dump the running game.
Best corner on 2014 Bama = Best dentist in England
DH may have been the leading rusher, but he's far from elite.
I will give EJ a little bit of a break for being injured, but the guy was a 5-Star athlete in the 2012 class...he should have put something on the field by now.

Ace sanders turned out to be pretty deadly for us

Except Eddie Jackson was a three star athlete in the 2013 class, and you don't know what the hell you're even talking about.
I swear there's a portion of the Alabama fanbase that takes the cake as being the dumbest and least informed.

A&M's ATH have done ok the last few years.
2010
-Hicks, Solid starter at TE for years. Never put up big #s, but wouldn't say he didn't pan out.
2012
-Pope, Solid WR. 454 yards this year. Panning out once he got PT.
2013
-Sezer, not panning out. ST only.
-RSJ, 465 yards, 4 TDs as a RS Freshman. Good, but not living up to 5* billing yet.
-Washington, decent LB. Will need to keep getting better or will end up riding the pine.

Darren McFadden was listed as an athlete.

Always wondered what McFadden would have been like at safety. Imagine him coming at you full speed lol

Do kids that are so athletic, they can play multiple positions...Do those kids every work out?
Seriously, GumpDyke? Real or fake, it's obvious this guy is either kid, or lives in his parents basement. Either way, his mom still tucks him in at night

Nick Marshall turned out OK. Broke the Auburn single game records for passing and for total offense.

That's still one of, if not, the greatest punt returns I've seen in my life.
