What are the biggest bust in recruiting since 2010 for your team and why?

As a Dawg fan, I feel there have been a handful that have never lived up to their hype. Issac Nauta (scheme/OC), Crowell (kicked off team), Gibbs (transfer), Netori Johnson (Nomad on team).... I am sure there are some missing as this is just my opinion for UGA.

LSU’s was Russell Shepard. We may have been able to salvage his college career had we been able to use him correctly as a WR or wildcat type QB, but our staff never could quite figure it out.

Russel Shepard although he’s carved out a nice nfl career on special teams

Justin Fields

eta: lol, how was he not a recruiting bust for UGA? Unlike Fromm, he couldn’t win a starting job as a freshman and didn’t want to compete to be an SEC starter so he left for the wide open Big 10 spot with the most talented team in the country. He was the anti-Joe Burrow.

Now, feed me downvotes.

Matt Elam - Just sheer laziness. Especially when you compare him to guys like Mike Edwards and Josh Allen who thrived under Stoops.

Morgan Newton - I honestly can’t explain how he ended up so bad at QB. He was higher rated than Randall Cobb.

Both provided quality starts at OM. Nkemdiche wrecked teams in college in including Boise State and Bama.

I am the one who gave you your first downvote.

If you dont like it, we can head to Sonic and work it out. No social distancing, no mask. Old school style

For us, Ray Drew and Marlon Brown are at the very top of that list.
