Mike Ford, RB, USF. South Florida's first 5 star recruit just couldn't stay on the field. He had a really promising freshman year but could never stop getting suspended until he ultimately got kicked off the team after his jr year.

Hopefully not Garrett Gilbert.

Yea, but problems were there before. iirc he signed to go to bama and couldnt qualify academically, then he came here and while hewas a pretty good back here, he was still outworked by Moise, Ben Williams and others. I don't know if I would call him a huge bust. Hopefully Scott will work out though.

#1 QB in the country and #5 overall in the class of 2003.

#1 WR in the country and #7 overall in the class of 2002.

Those are the two that came to mind. I even had a green Ryan Moore Miami jersey. It's still in my closet right now as a matter of fact.

2. Willie Williams Williams had lots of football talent but even more off-the-field problems, including multiple arrests that sidetracked his career. The former Miami Carol City five-star was the top-rated outside linebacker and No. 6 prospect in the 2004 class. Williams bounced around to different schools and was dismissed by Louisville in 2007 after being arrested for marijuana possession, felony tampering with physical evidence and driving without a license. According to reports, Williams was arrested 11 times before enrolling at Miami in 2004.

Williams ended up at a NAIA school about 20 minutes from here. He had a monster year, setting many school and NAIA records in the process. Somehow he even ended up on an nfl practice sqaud (GB if im not mistaken)....but I think he ended up getting prison time....for armed robbery if I remember correctly.
