Texas busts taken in the top ten...
 
Someone posted a list of University of Texas players taken top 10, who all turned out to be busts. Anyone know where that was posted, or could refer me to a good source?

and jammer hasn't been the 'game changer' he was billed as. not necessarily a bust, but not 'all world' like he was supposed to be.

GAH. knew I was missing somebody.

you can't say vince is a bust yet. QB is tough and some of these guys don't figure it out for several years. its not lookin' good though.

Texas is just one of those schools that doesn't prepare players very well.

I believe all the top 10 guys were covered...if you take it to just 1st round or the school in general the list is not impressive...

They prepared pretty well for the 2006 Rose Bowl.

And that has what to do with the NFL?

Roy Williams is a multiple pro bowler, and now that Davis has switched to guard he has been to a pro bowl and is a top five guard.

Not a Texas fan at all. (CU) but ill bet this thread seemed like a good idea in theory, but when researched it wasn't as loaded with big name busts like imagined. Jammer is decent enough to have been labeled a minor probowl snub and Leonard Davis is a recent probowl guard. Benson is gonna be a starting HB somewhere next yr and Vince Young will get a few more chances before eventually busting. Meanwhile Roy Williams has turned out better than most recent top 10 WRs, he's part of the better case scenario discussion.

Pretty piss poor list that makes the point the other way. HSN1 if I may ask. Who is your favorite college team?
