Well Alaeze and Bright made it to a school -- Melvin got hit with the attempted murder while he was at Illinois. Bright is at Shaw University. Would'veadded Jerrell Powe but he actually got into Ole Miss and apparently has grades under control. Three others: Sian Cotton, part of LeBron's crew, went to OSUas a d-tackle, failed out after a year. Dareus Hiley: Ted Ginn a year before Ted Ginn. OSU, failed out after a year. Marques Slocum: F--- lion.
 
Bogans? ouch.

he had a helluva college career man...averaged 15 a game for 4 years. had a disappointing junior year, somewhat...but other than that...

he put up good #'s under Tubby, playing in a system in which not too many guys put up eye popping stats. Bogans is 4th on UK's all-time scoring list.

nice call with Rod Rhodes, Jay.

Derrick Caracter.

From that page:

Crompton: "I can scramble well. I've got a pretty good arm and can throw it deep on the run. I haven't been tackled by the first guy in three years. I have great vision too. I want to get stronger, especially my lower body. I also want to read defenses quicker."

In Duhon's four years, Duke compiled a 123-21 record, making Duhon the second winningest player in Duke and Atlantic Coast Conference history, behind Duke's Shane Battier (131 wins). He helped the Blue Devils win three ACC Championships. Duhon was a finalist for the 2004 Wooden Award, the Naismith Award, and Rupp Trophy awards. He left as the only Atlantic Coast Conference player to record 1,200 points, 800 assists, 475 rebounds, 300 steals, and 125 three-point shots.

I'll admit, Duhon most def. didn't fully live up to the billing...SURE, i'll give you that...BUT

Dude IS NOT AN "ALL TIME BUST" though...the thought/accusation alone is straight laughable.

I'll be back with some TRUE busts.

Uhh...that's typically what a bust is. A player who doesn't live up to their billing. I'm not the one trying to place them on scales...so I don't know what a "true" bust is. A bust is a bust.

I'm sorry, but your own title reads "ALL TIME COLLEGE BUSTS", keword: "ALL TIME"

Just take the L on Duhon and keep in movin'...this is a good thread. Did you even look @ the class of 2000 PG's link that you claimed was a "very deep class" that was posted?

Marcus Taylor (ahead of Duhon on that list),
Taliek Brown,
Andre Barret,
and Omar Cook
round out the top 5 PG's.

You obviously have some lack of comprehension.

At the time obviously...it was a DEEP class. It's easy to look after the fact and laugh but back during that time frame that class had a lot of hype behindit. What L am I taking? Chris Duhon was a bust a Duke...you haven't said or proven anything for me to refute that. Let's agree to disagree and keep itmoving.
 
Eric Montross from UNC. He was pretty hyped coming into UNC (McDonalds AM ect). Dude was buns in the NBA. Yea he played a few years. But he never lived up tohis hype either.

They wouldn't be in the conversation at all. They did work in college.

And I can't tell who that is from that picture Matt
