    You might wait until his time at LSU is done before you label him that, he was just a Soph.

    I agree. Plus the fact that as a track recruit he is doing a great job.

    Uhhh... Josh Booty was an All-SEC quarterback that left early for the NFL. Not exactly a bust. Neither was Cecil Collins, the guy had talent and was playing, he was just a dumbass and a criminal.

    A bust is a player that is highly touted but never performs. Like Chris Pettaway. Pettaway was an high school All-American offensive lineman out of Florida who was LSU's top recruit about 20 years ago. He was a "cant miss" blue chip prospect. He stayed at LSU for four years and never even lettered. That was a bust!

    How he was ever all SEC still mystifies many and he left because he was loosing his job to Rohan Davey.

    Remember a WR with speed by the name of Devery Henderson?

    A 5*, 6.1 potential recruit should come in, start and contribute immediately... especially at the skill positions. So far, he's done nothing. Blame coaching if you want to, but such a recruit should be having 40 and 50 catch seasons by now.

    track recruit?

    He was recruited as an RB, but what's your point?

    You should have qualified your statement with, "Thus far," and then I would have agreed with you.

    I'm not blaming anyone just saying he has the ability to be a really good player before he leaves. He has underachieved to this point but hasn't reached bust status yet.
