Love still looks like a TE. Couldn't believe how skinny he looked when he came in for a few plays earlier this year.

Obviously the recruiting services got it wrong but I guess they figured he had talent and a good frame to put on some weight but it just never happened.

Roster lists him at 6'6 307. I don't see how that's possible. Some tall tackles may look lean but he really does look like a TE.

Enrique Davis for sure, can't believe the barners haven't offered him up yet. What about The RB from the state of Kansas that went to UT and got kicked off the team? Janzen Jackson is another one too.

Chris Davenport is a much bigger bust than Tyler Love. Is he even still on the team?

I was going to say Enrique but scout showed him as a 4* when I went back to look. But whether he was a 4* or 5* he needs to be on this list, he sucked that bad.

Yea, he left USC. Hardly played while he was there.

He could end up at SDSU.

Nukes Richardson Announces his Retirement Nu’Keese Richardson’s wild ride in football appears to be finished. His journey began with small-town stardom in Pahokee and took him as high as Neyland Stadium, followed by stops in Virginia and Kansas. What’s next for Richardson? A job. “I ain’t playing football anymore,” he said in a brief interview. “I don’t want to. I just decided I’m ready to work. Things happen. I’m over it.” He did not specify what kind of work he will be doing, but said he is relocating from South Florida to New York. Richardson has family in the Syracuse area. Richardson is 21 years old and still has eligibility, so his retirement might not be final. If he is still in football shape and can qualify academically, a school might take a chance on him. He was an all-America wide receiver at Pahokee High School in 2008 and was committed to Florida before switching to Tennessee on signing day. He was with the Volunteers less than one season in 2009 before an arrest led to his dismissal. He transferred to Hampton, an FCS program, in Spring 2010, but never played for the school. His last attempt to restart his career was at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College. While his college career did not go the way he wanted, Richardson left Pahokee as one of the most accomplished football players in Palm Beach County history. He was exceptional. Urban Meyer and Lane Kiffin fought over this guy. He was the No. 3 recruit in the area (behind No. 1 Jon Bostic and No. 2 Lonnie Pryor) and was rated the No. 9 receiver in the country by Rivals.com. In his senior year at Pahokee, Richardson played quarterback, receiver, defensive back and returner. He accounted for 20 touchdowns and helped the Blue Devils win a state championship.

Tennessee has had the most easily. Outside of Eric Berry and maybe Da'Rick, every 5* we've signed has busted.

Ryan Perriloux ? - 2005 (more head case than flame out maybe)


His flame definitely burned bright when he was named the MVP of the SEC Championship Game.
That got everyone's hopes higher than any recruiting ranking could have.

His leaving probably hurt the program more than any other recruit's not living up to expectations did.
