For Bama, it's the kids who make the real stupid mistakes and get kicked off the team like J.Elder.
He never stepped foot on campus but I always think about LeBronski Hutchins just because I thought it was a cool name. I think it was grades. I know some guys who would say Chris Keys in recent memory, just knowing of how much talent he had.
Recruits in general. Fred Rouse is one. For me, it's Jimmy Clausen. For a guy called a decade prospect for a QB, he was pretty underwhelming IMO.

Who was the receiver for LSU that was so fast? Xavier something. Classic example of a track guy trying to be a football player.

BJ Scott's non-success was partly a biproduct of being a "tweener" and not getting honed in at one position right off the bat.
Tyler Love is the real answer here. The guys priorities were beer and hanging around the frat houses.

Isn't BJ Scott going to play in the NFL? What a bust!
As has been discussed hundreds of times...BJ was huge- he was a big part of the 2008 class...really helped with Julio and others.
Personally, I hate threads like this that label Bama kids 'busts'....
Because they didn't live up to some silly recruiting service's expectations...
many times there are injuries involved. Oh well. I know...I dont' have to read this thread..
Oh well. Hope BJ Scott gets a shot in the League.

Yeah probably wasn't the nicest question but just got to thinking about how this class could end and sometimes those star ratings can get us excited gor nothing I know I have seen a lot of 3 stars turn out to be superstars here but tyler love did jump out had hoped he would have worked out
