2005 5*'s Boom or Bust

47. RB LaMarcus Coker, Tennessee – Coker’s stay in Knoxville was a short one. That’s bound to happen when you get suspended three times in less than a year. He showed flashes of stardom in 2006 and 2007, which are now popping up at Hampton, his new school. In his first season with the Pirates, he rushed for 622 yards and a score on 144 carries.
Worth the Hype? Nope

10. DB Demetrice Morley, Tennessee – It’s been a rollercoaster ride for Morley, who’s been in and out of hot water with the program. A starter as a sophomore, he was dismissed from the program two years ago for academic reasons, and forced to get a job to pay for tuition at Pellissippi State Technical Community College. Morley has made his way back to UT, starting at free safety in 2008, and has another year to improve his college brag sheet.
Worth the Hype? Not Quite

I honestly think that BB will be the real deal. I think you can check back in a few years and he'll be a boom.

How come my man Jonathan Crunkton was not on the 2005 bust list? That's blasphemy!

Don't worry, he's there. :pinch:

21. QB Jonathan Crompton, Tennessee – After waiting his turn for two years behind Erik Ainge, Crompton failed to distinguish himself as the starter in 2008. In fact, midway through the year, he got nudged to the second team behind sophomore Nick Stephens. In eight games, Crompton was only able to produce four touchdown passes and 889 yards. He has one final year with a new staff to turn things around.
Worth the Hype? Nope

I just have to wonder how many of these could have turned out differently with some serious discipline enforced right from the get-go. I look at the garbage that's gone on with B. Colquitt and think he should've been booted when he made it clear that he had no intention of stopping the drunk driving (after 2, 3 times maybe?). If he wasn't the MVP for several years...

Crompton, seems to be a product of a lot of factors. But Morley, and especially Coker, and maybe Banks - I just wonder. . .

Thanks for the post, Rex

I think that coaching and discipline are everything. In the top ten you have to believe that for the most part talent is fairly equal, so then, it comes down to coaching. I have always felt like Phil did less with more than any coach in football. Now that title goes to mark Richt.

and I probably wanted Turner more than anyone. he killed me when he chose USC.

My thoughts exactly. Fulmer was one of the worst in the country at coaching up talent. The majority were coached down unless they were just incredibly talented. Fulmer was a politician plain and simple.

If he keeps his head on and learns from these new coaches, DMo can play on Sundays. He's had a hard ride... it'd be nice to see him finish with a great year!
