Biggest Recruiting Busts of the last decade
Our own Ben Olson makes the list @ #10.
I had high hopes for him, but we just never had the supporting cast to make him successful.

I’m not sure it is fair to have someone as injury plagued as Ben Olson on a list like this. It isn’t as if he “blew it”, he just couldn’t stay healthy which is common in football.
"Busts" lists
rarely make that distinction. If hype =/= results, then you’re a bust, whether it was injuries, poor play, getting kicked off the team, etc.

I understand why he's on such a list
But in my mind, I know the difference between a player like Olson, whose body let him down, as opposed to someone like Drew Gordon, whose heart and mind let all of us down.

I don't agree with their methodology either.
