I wouldn't even call Justin Vincent a bust. Yea he didn't live up to expectations after 2003 but he still had one hell of a year in 2003.
My vote: RP

I don't really think you can call a kid who was the MVP of the SECCG and the BCS National Championship Game a "bust."

didn't realize that he was a five star d.b. if i'm not mistaken, he was recruited as a d.b. and later converted to running back.

nope. RB all the way. And the MVP of the SECCG and the BCSCG can't be labeled a bust, sorry... not possible.

always a running back. he also had to sit out a year after high school.
frankly I don't like the term "bust", but Vincent probably comes as close as anyone. Hill was seriously injured, RP was a screw-up, but talent-wise wasn't a bust. Carter was an example of recruiters valuing speed more than football ability.

Adam McConathy the All-World LB out of West Monroe. Transfered to Texas because his daddy was up the coaches asses at every practice and I remember him saying that they were not using his son correctly. Pulled him out of LSU and went to Texas were I don't think he ever started or played.

They're two different types of DTs.

Hey Dude, JV helped win the 2003 NC game as a Freshman before ripping up his knee. In 2003 he was considered maybe the best running back period, and like I said he played the best game of his life in the NC . We don't beat OKL without him.

agreed...JV was a great back for us that year....not his fault his knee got all messed up
