5 Star Challenge Thread (Updated Jun 9)

WR Johnnie Dixon, West Palm Beach (Fla.) Dwyer: We had seen enough of Dixon last fall to know he has the elite linear speed to get over the top of defenses. In Chicago, he showed the ability to get separation on speed outs and comebacks. He also displayed the toughness needed to make a play in traffic and over the middle. Dixon was at his best on vertical routes, and he turned around a few defensive backs on double moves. He caught almost everything thrown his way, and he proved he is more than just a vertical threat who relies on his speed.


OL Demetrius Knox, Fort Worth (Texas) All Saints Episcopal: It is hard to deny what was seen in Chicago, and that was Knox taking his game up a notch. He has looked the part and has shown glimpses, but over the weekend on Soldier Field he put together his best, most complete performance to date. The standout offensive lineman flat-out dominated his opponents throughout the weekend.

WR Travis Rudolph, West Palm Beach (Fla.) Cardinal Newman:- Rudolph was exceptional at the Five-Star Challenge. He runs excellent routes and explodes out of his breaks. One thing we noticed is he doesn't wait for the ball; he attacks it. His hands are as sure as it gets, and he understands how to get open against man or zone coverage. He isn't the tallest, but he can high point the ball against bigger defenders with his above-average vertical ability. We like his pedigree (cousin of Devin Hester), football IQ and reliability. There may not have been a more complete wideout performance in Chicago outside of Rudolph's.

i wouldnt say rudolph is better then dixon or lane but when you read things like this (and all 3 was competing) he makes it hard to say hes not a must get

Rudolph reminds me a little of Herb Waters when he was recruited, tweener could be a WR/DB, but just kept showing out and earned his offer. Realize Rudolph already had an offer, but seems to be proving he deserves to play WR.

IMO, the difference between Rudolph and Waters is size. They have similar smooth styles, but Waters is bigger. Rudolph looks a bit small out there. Dixon, on the other hand, is built like a college freshman running back.
 
Kd cannon has not eliminated the canes!

Can someone get the details from ITU?

He just had a top 12 so how many schools is he down to now?
