Interesting article on collegefootballnews.com:
http://cfn.scout.com/2/940369.html
Of the 28 five-star recruits from '06, Scout thinks that 12 lived up to the hype, 7 clearly didn't, and 9 fell somewhere in between. The 7 guys who were busts crashed and burned (injuries, academics, lack of production) as bad or worse than D. Scott.
As you'd expect, most of the '06 five-stars went to top programs. Fla., Michigan, LSU and Texas all have a bust or two. CU has plenty of company when it comes to failing to turn a five-star recruit into a star player. (And, of course, it's much harder to turn a guy into a star in a program in which most of the other players are three-star guys.)
