Top prospects dont stay 4 years?Thats some B.S. Again, this has nothing to do with pro careers.
You just said he had a solid career at UK.... so how is he a bust. Just because you heard a lot of good things about him doesnt mean he was expected to light the world on fire. Anyone who was a college AA can not be counted as a bust... plain and simple.
You were wrong about Duhon, and youre wrong about Bogans.
Maybe under YOUR definition of bust. But a bust is someone who doesn't live up to their billing. If Lebron James is averaging 18 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds through his first 6 years. That's a solid stat line. Probably a few all star games here and there. But it would make him a bust because what he's doing NOW matches the level of expectation from him. Hall of Fame output. Not "solid".
When you're the #1 or #2 prospect in your class (in HS Basketball specifically)...and you've stayed in school for 4 years...something didn't go as planned. I challenge to show me a single example in the past 10 years that suggests anything different.
The billing depends on what you hear. Its allll relative. If someones from your area of course youre going to hear a lot of praise about him because he'sa local product. The question is ALL TIME college busts. Keth Bogans is no where near the top of this list. Just because he was predicted to do geat thingsand didnt live up to other peoples expectations doesnt make him a bust. He was productive and had a good career. Busts are players who are expected to performand dont even come close to expectations.
The rest of that first paragraph is so poorly worded and puncuated it doesn't even look like english.
Being 1 or 2 in your class only means that youre the best or 2nd best in your graduating HS class. It doesnt mean youre supposed to be an amazing player. Some guys peak early and reach their athletic maximum in high school.... its happens all the time. You cant expect everyone to progress to a hall of famer. So now the PLAN is if youre a 1 or 2 ranked recruit youre supposed to leave college early? These kids making the decision to leave early has really changedthe viewpoint of what's supposed to happen in college basketball.
Shannon Brown stayed 3 years, not 4, and he was the 3rd overall ranked player in his class. He's not a bust.
First of all...calm down. All that extra %%@! really ain't necessarily. _'s be gettin way too amped up online.

If John Wall goes to UK and plays 4 years and is an all american in year 4...are you going to tell me he wasn't a college bust?
Keith Bogans was a college all american his SENIOR year...meaning that's when he reached his highest level...as a SENIOR. Again...when you're a #1 or #2 prospect in HS Basketball...you're expected to be damn good from day one.
He wont be. You might think hes a bust because he isnt in the league but AS A COLLEGE PLAYER, he is no where near a bust.
Youre expected to be good from day 1?! Absolutley not... youre still a freshman.

McGee wasn't his fault, though... Dude thought he was comin to A&M to fling the ball around like Reggie McNeal did, and Fran flipped thescript and went to that zone read option *#*%#+++ and wasted him away... McGee was one of the best high school passing quarterbacks Texas had ever seen atBurnet... Him and Shipley straight killed dudes... And Fran turned him into a runner because he was a good athlete and McGee just took too many hits and gotbeat to hell...
i went to dematha and played basketball ... anyone who thought bogans was going to be a superstar in college or the nba lost their mind ... he wasa solid player and deserves to be where he is and get AA honors (what this thread is about by the way) because he can defend and hes a thick dude who canhandle the wear and tear of college and the nba ... but EVERY time that team needed a bucket it was going to forte in the corner for a baseline J or down lowto collins or scott or owens ...
Intramural?
