or maybe I'd pick an offensive lineman. They often don't pan out. The number of 5-star tackles who never saw the field in college is pretty big. Most of the time they need to redshirt, they need to grow, they need to learn a very complex blocking scheme. it's hard to do.

Alex Collins. If he can't even run down his own mom, how can compete with SEC speed?

I didn't think it was possible for a joke to be worn out within an hour of it's gensis, but i was wrong.

If foster cant get qualified, its him, if he can, I think he will be great, mediocre at worst

Jones at MSU and the possible future state of thier program could be a bust

Jones is a good one too. I thought about throwing his name out there.

He'll have a lot of his shoulders from msu fans

Nkemdiche is the obvious answer. Sure he'll probably be the #1 overall pick in 3 years,


that =/= Bust

Montravious Adams.

Every time he went to a national recruiting or all star event he was "hurt."

He soft.

Nkemdiche won't be a bust but I could see treadwell for sure. He's even a bigger headcase than diche. Unfortunately, Chri Jones is a dramatic kid as well.

Anybody who says Foster is a bust needs to watch his highlights. The guy is the most college ready LB in years.

Not about his physical prowess it's about his mental toughness

Suddenly he doesn't have mental toughness because Trooper recruited him to Auburn- then he switched back when Trooper left? We don't know Rueben Foster. You and I have no way to know what kind of mental toughness he has.

I'd say it’s because he lacks his own voice, he is easily manipulated, lacks in the mental aptitude area and would probably fail a Rorschach test.

couple those together and he lacks "mental toughness" I guess. it doesn’t take a genius to play and excel at football, however it does take a competent person to maintain the ability to play as an amateur
