Irwin is probably the biggest outlier of our five-stars as his highest ranking is No. 89 elsewhere, which I find a bit ridiculous (we have him No. 31). I'm also puzzled by the rankings of Harris, whose highest ranking elsewhere is No. 36 overall (we have him No. 8); not sure what else he has to prove, and I see him as a potential Heisman candidate (no I'm not doing a Beano Cook here) for Alabama in a few years. Guice is also puzzling as his highest ranking elsewhere is No. 45 despite his size and speed. Yes, Leonard Fournette is at LSU, but he won't be for long. Guice has a high bust factor for a five-star for many different reasons, but his talent is too much to overlook. Richmond is also not highly coveted by other websites with No. 58 being his highest ranking (we have him No. 12), and McCloud isn't popular either with his highest ranking being No. 87 elsewhere (we have him No. 23).

So the question that begs to be answered, and that I get a lot off the record, which is the most ridiculous ranking I've seen elsewhere this year? I'd have to go with Valentine-Okeke at No. 22 and as a five-star. I just don't see it, and I think it's a big-time reach. This isn't shots fired. This is simply my opinion having been in this business for more than 15 years and scouted thousands of players. He's a big, great-looking kid who really doesn't know how to play football yet; he will either be a kid who pans out in 2-3 years or busts out altogether. But it's much harder to find a glaring example of something I find ridiculous this year compared to last year.
