So which players almost made five-star status on Rivals.com? You could easily just look at the player ranked right behind Sweat at No. 34, but there's more to it than that. Sure the players that lost their fifth-stars were discussed as five-stars -- that's how it works. Does Edoga deserve to keep that fifth star now that we have seen so many offensive linemen against the best in the country in pads? That's the kind of question he faced as did Hyatt, Barnett, Orange (Texas) West Orange-Stark safety Deionte Thompson and Evans (Ga.) Lakeside safety Rashad Roundtree, and all came out on the wrong end.

Players who were discussed as five-stars included Beckner, Masina, quarterback Deondre Francois from Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy, and that was pretty much it. Now, if I was simply doing the rankings myself, some things would be a bit different. I'd probably go out on a limb for linebacker Leo Lewis from Brookhaven (Miss.), because he has a chance to be special; and I would probably make Francois a five-star because quarterback is such an important position and he has all it takes to be great. The guy with the biggest potential bust factor of the five-stars in my opinion? Defensive end CeCe Jefferson simply because he's such a tweener. He is so good playing inside, but he doesn't have the size to do that at the next level. On the outside, he's not a long guy like you'd want in a rush end, and he's much more comfortable working off contact than beating people with speed. His film is great, he's fun to watch in person, but what position will he play? Last year, I said it was Speedy Noil for numerous reasons, and he had 46 catches for 583 yards and five scores as a freshman at Texas A&M, so what do I know?
