Beg to differ on Spencer Ware. He was a really good RB, it's just that CLM has always spread the wealth at RB.

Spencer Ware 10: mostly bust (decent college career, 6th rounder and then released)
Spencer Ware was not a bust. He was a very good RB at LSU. He was released due to injury not poor performance.

It is hard to call Coleman a bust given his circumstances. I hope he overcomes and goes on to be a great one.

LSU has probably had more 3* and 4* booms than any other school in all of CFB.
Would you update the list to include all of these "booms" Les and his staff evaluated, recruited and developed over the same time period?
Odell Beckham, Jeremy Hill, Ego Ferguson, Trai Turner, Kiki Mingo, Eric Reid, Kevin Minter, Bennie Logan, Tyrann Mathieu, Morris Claiborne and Michael Brockers would all qualify as major "booms" that were all 3* and 4* rated players that were developed into 5* players on the field by Les and his staff.

Craig Loston was not a bust - solid two year starter in the SEC who is now on the active roster of an NFL team.
Especially if you rate Ronald Powell as a "somewhat boom" in the same list.

Russel Shepard 09: total bust
He has been in the NFL since he left LSU. He is undoubtedly a bust, I just find it strange that he has made an NFL team every year.

Alabama:
Julio Jones 08: boom (NFL all-pro and college star). Underachieved in college, best recruit on Bama's team in the Pros.
BJ Scott 08: total bust-did nothing in college
Tyler Love 08: total bust-did nothing in college
DJ Fluker 09: boom (college star and 1st rounder)
Trent Richardson 09: boom (college star and 1st rounder) Played well in College behind a large OL. Too slow to the LOS in the Pros (bust at this level)
Dre Kirkpatrick 09: boom (college star and 1st rounder). 2 INTs in College, about the same in the Pros
Nico Johnson 09: somewhat boom (solid college starter, 4th rnd draft pick). Not a bust, but not a boom.
DeMarcus Milliner 10: boom (college star, 1st rounder). Good in College, bust in the Pros
Cyrus Kouandjio 11: slight boom (college star, 2nd rounder)-although did not live up to hype
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix 11: boom (college star, 1st rounder)
Dee Hart 11: bust(transferred, doing well at Colorado St)
TJ Yeldon 12: boom (college star, 2nd or 3rd rounder). See Trent Richardson
Landon Collins 12: boom (college star, 1st rounder)
Eddie Williams 12: total bust due to arrest and expulsion

Bama DB's are the biggest busts ever in the NFL
None of those guys are booms or will ever be booms
