Alabama:
Julio Jones 08: boom (NFL all-pro and college star). Underachieved in college, best recruit on Bama's team in the Pros.
BJ Scott 08: total bust-did nothing in college
Tyler Love 08: total bust-did nothing in college
DJ Fluker 09: boom (college star and 1st rounder)
Trent Richardson 09: boom (college star and 1st rounder) Played well in College behind a large OL. Too slow to the LOS in the Pros (bust at this level)
Dre Kirkpatrick 09: boom (college star and 1st rounder). 2 INTs in College, about the same in the Pros
Nico Johnson 09: somewhat boom (solid college starter, 4th rnd draft pick). Not a bust, but not a boom.
DeMarcus Milliner 10: boom (college star, 1st rounder). Good in College, bust in the Pros
Cyrus Kouandjio 11: slight boom (college star, 2nd rounder)-although did not live up to hype
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix 11: boom (college star, 1st rounder)
Dee Hart 11: bust(transferred, doing well at Colorado St)
TJ Yeldon 12: boom (college star, 2nd or 3rd rounder). See Trent Richardson
Landon Collins 12: boom (college star, 1st rounder)
Eddie Williams 12: total bust due to arrest and expulsion

I never implied this list had anything to do with success in the NFL. If you want to nit pick the Alabama list, do that to every team as well. If you really want to pick apart multi millionaires like Julio Jones, Trent Richardson, Dre Kirkpatrick, and Dee Milliner, be my guest. They have achieved every dream expected of a 5 star player. National titles, 1st round picks, mega millions contracts, starting positions in the NFL, etc.
