Remember the day where you get really excited about signing a top-flight recruit only to realize three or four years down the road that he was just massive bust??

Who do y'all consider to be the biggest busts of the last couple years....or those who have the potential to be busts?

BJ Scott. I still wish we had just kept him on offense and thrown him bubble screens or let him play Wildcat QB.

Well, Clay Travis went on Jox and declared Bryce Brown would win the Heisman. That should end this debate, now.

I'm more worried about what may happen to Isaiah. I think you could definitely throw guys like Caleb, Ealey, and Marlon Brown in the mix for some definite offense busts.

The problem is that Caleb and Ealey did have some talent but just couldnt stay out of trouble. I feel like Brown is a player that has just never developed into a significant receiver threat.

Darius Winston five-star corner lost his starting spot this season as junior.

i agree with ealey and brown but caleb wasn't so much the trouble maker but more so just stupid and injury prone with the occasional legal dissonance.

but i am holding out hope for crowell with the competition that accompanies gurley, marshall, and malcome

Cam Newton, the next whatever his name was from Ole Miss if I recall. Will be as good as Jamarcus Russell if hes lucky.

Aaron Boyd.

4-star WR that signed with UK (had offers from Arkansas, Oregon, Texas A&M, etc) and couldn't even break the rotation post-Randall Cobb/Chris Matthews. At Kentucky.

On a serious note Kodi Burns as a QB or Leon Hart.

Leon Hart was a 5 star Ot from South Carolina that never started a game at Auburn I believe.

i really think caleb king is deserving. if it weren't for the 5 star minimum ( ) i'd add israel troupe

4 star, one of the better prospects in GA and he's terrible. never started a game, has like single digit catches, pretty much only blocks, and isn't even really a solid STer

He can at least say he was on the team that beat UT.

The irony is he was the #1 player in the state in the class.

Of course we did have this WR converted to a QB that wasn't a bust.

You can add Raven Gray and Tray Blackmon to the list. Gray never played a down. Blackmon was a beast when he played, he just didn't see the field a lot.

couldn't help yourself couldn't ya? i mean he was a 4 star but i have to admit he never really came with much fanfare. people wanted him to replace joe cox because they didn't think it could be worse. he went in vs UF and proved us wrong against all odds.

gotta admit though was a solid fair catching punt returner

I would say Dyer. Even though he did give us two good years.
