re: 5 star recruits of the SEC: Boom or bust?

I would call Trent Richardson a bust at this point. Great college career but NFL work aint gonna last very long and then he will have to depend on that Bama education he got...

NFL bust based on his 1st round selection? Absolutely. But this is a list to evaluate college careers, how well their colleges developed them and whether a 5 star ranking translated into a high draft pick for these kids. There is no way you can say that Rivals "messed up" by giving Trent 5 stars when he was a college star, Heisman candidate, and #3 overall pick. If you want to make a list of SEC 1st rounders and their NFL success, feel free.
