No Lane?? Free article:
CHICAGO -- The second Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge presented by Under Armour took to the field on Saturday at Soldier Field. The Rivals.com team of analysts broke down the prospects by position. Here are the top wide receivers.
1. Malachi Dupre, River Ridge (La.) John Curtis: Dupre did everything right all day. He ran fantastic routes of all kinds, beat defensive backs seemingly with ease and caught almost every pass thrown his way. Five of the six receivers rated ahead of him by Rivals.com were also on the field, and Dupre was clearly the best -- at least on this day. The 6-foot-4 recruit was not only catching slants or beating smaller corners. He was going deep, creating separation and making big play after big play.
Malachi Dupre performed well in all facets on Saturday at Soldier Field.
2. KD Cannon, Mount Pleasant, Texas: Cannon is fast, and even though he's only 5-foot-10 he plays bigger and has no problem catching the ball against bigger cornerbacks. Did we mention his speed? The four-star was especially fantastic during one-on-one drills, where he was virtually unstoppable because he doesn't slow down into his cuts and has a great ability to create separation. Even during drills, Cannon stood out. He had an excellent day catching the ball and separating himself toward the top of this list.
3. Christian Kirk, Scottsdale (Ariz.) Saguaro (2015): Probably no receiver had highlight moments like Kirk, who is undersized but it doesn't really matter. He never gets handled at the line, he runs past every cornerback, and he had multiple deep receptions that would have gone for touchdowns. He can run all the routes and set up cornerbacks, but the 2015 prospect is best when he's on fly routes deep down the field and he almost always comes down with the ball. Kirk has no problem ever getting open, and it all depends whether the quarterback can get him the ball.
4. DaMarkus Lodge, Cedar Hill, Texas (2015): Lodge was arguably the most productive receiver all day. He caught everything. And there were a lot of passes because Lodge got open all day, whether it was in one-on-one or 7-on-7 prep. He didn't seem to show off incredible speed, but he set up corners well. He would go inside or outside, find a way to create space and get open and then catch the ball. Early in the day, Lodge was seriously in the running for top receiver. Others stepped up, and he continued to do well and lands high on the list.
5. Justin Brent, Indianapolis (Ind.) Speedway: Every time someone would look up, Brent was getting open and catching passes. After a slow start, the Notre Dame commit really dominated midday and later, too. The four-star was another of those receivers who was especially productive and, every time he showed up for a rep, he would win it. His victories became so consistent that it would be a surprise if he didn't get himself open and catch a pass. Not only that, but there were times when he was closely defended and still came down with the ball.
6. Artavis Scott, Tarpon Springs (Fla.) East Lake: Scott has lots of speed, and he used it, especially during one-on-one drills. If a pass was overthrown, he could find another gear to catch it. If a cornerback stayed with him early in the route, Scott would put on the burners and create separation. The four-star is not only exceptionally fast, but he has soft hands and catches a lot of passes. Scott cannot be defended one-on-one. There needs to be help over the top, because if there isn't he has the athleticism and speed to get open.
7. Johnnie Dixon, West Palm Beach (Fla.) Dwyer: Dixon has all the tools. He ran crisp, fluid routes, and even though he isn't the fastest he can get open because his route running is so good. Dixon was excellent, especially on out routes, catching the ball and then bursting down the sideline. Throughout the day, Dixon was consistent. He caught a lot of passes, and he did a tremendous job in drills and one-on-one drills against many different corners, large and small.
8. Erik Brown, Fontana (Calif.) Summit: Brown has emerged as arguably the top receiver in California, and this was an outstanding opportunity for him to shine on a national level. The four-star did not disappoint. What were especially impressive against top-notch cornerbacks were Brown's speed and his continued ability to catch the ball in a crowd. Sometimes cornerbacks stuck with Brown, but he has great vision and outstanding hands and he does an excellent job of making nice plays.
9. Allen Lazard, Urbandale, Iowa: Lazard was hot and cold throughout the day. He's a hard route-runner, a load coming across the middle, and he has good hands but didn't especially stand out. The Iowa State commit is a big target so that helps, and he heated up later during one-on-ones especially because he could use his size against smaller cornerbacks. However, as the top-rated wide receiver, a little more dominance was expected.
9. Travis Rudolph, West Palm Beach (Fla.) Cardinal Newman: Rudolph was really smooth and caught the ball really well, and his double moves made some people look foolish. The four-star makes quick, efficient cuts, and that's tough for any cornerback to defend. Plus, he caught the ball really well all day and showed consistent hands, which just adds to the difficulty in covering him.

Got this from Kyle pumariega's twitter
https://twitter.com/KylePuma
Apparently there is a die-hard Cane up in Chicago with Ermon Lane trying to recruit Lane to sign with his team:
"Sony trying to convince me to go to Georgia Bull Dogs with him. We would be unstoppable BUT.... I have 8 months to think about everythin"

Demetrius Knox puts announced that Miami has made his top 5.
Knox has reportedly manhandled all defensive lineman at the event including consensus top players Dashawn Hand, Andrew Brown, and Lorenzo Carter. These pperformances on Saturday have led to knox being ranked the number 1 Offensive Lineman at the event. He probably made himself some money here.

Top DL
CHICAGO -- The second annual Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge presented by Under Armour took to the field on Saturday at Soldier Field in Chicago. The Rivals.com team of analysts broke down the best prospects by position. Here are the top defensive linemen.
1. SDE Da'Shawn Hand, Woodbridge (Va.): The No. 1 prospect in the country did not disappoint on the first day of camp. He clearly dominated during the one-on-one session and was eager to make his way to the front of the line. Against the best, he made everything look effortless. His first step, his quick hands and his strong counter moves were pulled off with grace, and offensive linemen were pretty much rendered helpless.
2. DT Andrew Brown, Chesapeake (Va.) Oscar Smith: Brown got off to a rough start against Demetrius Knox, but he did bounce back with a solid performance on the day. His speed and strength made him tough to handle, and when he did get beat he made sure to get right back up and jump back into the mix. He was a true competitor with a high motor and ended the day by getting back at Knox before one-on-ones came to an unexpected and abrupt end.
3. SDE Kentavious Street, Greenville (N.C.) Rose: The five-star defensive end showed off the explosiveness that has made him one of the top prospects in the country. He won each of his reps during one-on-ones as he stayed low and kept good leverage. It should also be noted that he appeared to have improved his weight distribution since RCS Richmond.
Derrick Nnadi had a tireless work ethic.
4. SDE Davon Godchaux, Plaquemine (La.): After a strong performance at RCS Houston, Godchaux was one of the more intriguing prospects coming into the Five-Star Challenge. During position drills, he shot his hands well and showed the quick first step that caught everyone's attention in Houston. Then, during one-on-ones, he used that speed and quickness to get the edge.
5. DT Derrick Nnadi, Virginia Beach (Va.) Ocean Lakes: When it came to competing and motor, Nnadi stood above the rest. He showed tireless effort, taking more reps than every other defensive lineman on hand. He also won the majority of his reps using his strength and leverage to overwhelm most of his competitors.
6. DT Thomas Holley, Brooklyn (N.Y.) Abraham Lincoln: After a strong showing at RCS Newark, Holley took a big jump in the rankings. The Rivals100 defensive lineman made quick work of his opponent during one-on-ones as he shot his hands and made quick counter moves to get into the backfield.
7. SDE Solomon Thomas, Coppell (Texas): Thomas has been among the top prospects in the country and is known for his solid technique and superior strength. He showed both on the afternoon as he was able to get inside his opponent and get behind the line.

I understand Knox ate Brown up yesterday. I hope he get on board. We still need guards for this cycle and he is smart and a beast.

No Sony you can do what makes most sense, stay home with Lane and dominate for the home team not go far away to play for the most underachieving program of the last 20 years.

Everyone thinks Lane is far and away the best receiver but a lot of people have said its closer than most think. Rudolph & Dixon are right there with him. A DB from SFExpress said Rudolph is the best of the three

Top skill position players at the event
CHICAGO -- The 7-on-7 tournament and Big Man Challenge were held Sunday at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge presented by Under Armour. Here are the top skill players overall.
1. QB Kyle Allen, Scottsdale (Ariz.) Desert Mountain: Allen was outstanding -- clearly the best quarterback -- and not only did he lead his 7-on-7 team to the championship but he hardly threw any incomplete passes early in the day.
Kyle Allen drew consistent praise from Rivals.com analysts.
The Texas A&M commit showed poise, a great arm and he made all the passes.
2. CB Marlon Humphrey, Hoover, Ala.: Humphrey does everything right at cornerback. He presses at the line, he's physical, sticky in coverage, doesn't bite on double moves and once the ball is thrown, the five-star uses his hands well to knock down passes. Rarely beat all weekend, Humphrey was outstanding in all settings.
3. WR Malachi Dupre, River Ridge (La.) John Curtis: Dupre was the best overall wide receiver this weekend and really impressed during Saturday's one-on-ones, where he could not be defended by only one cornerback. He was also solid during 7-on-7 play going across the middle, on out routes and even going deep. Dupre is pushing for a big bump in the rankings.
4. LB Tre Williams, Mobile (Ala.) St. Paul's: Williams made plays all day. He stepped in front of passes, had at least one interception, defended well in coverage and was active at all times. This setting is sometimes tough for linebackers because they have to drop back in coverage a lot, but Williams did not miss a step.
5. WR Ermon Lane, Homestead, Fla.: Lane has outstanding size and he used it fully to his advantage in the 7-on-7 tournament. It was nearly impossible for him to be defended, especially early on, and he was tough deep and on out routes. He turned in a strong performance and showed off lots of skills.
6. WR Travis Rudolph, West Palm Beach (Fla.) Cardinal Newman: Rudolph is so smooth and agile that he gets open with ease and then catches everything thrown his way. Every time someone looked up, it seemed they were commenting about Rudolph, who made numerous big plays and moved the ball down the field.
No. 1 WR Allen Lazard acquitted himself well on Sunday.
7. WR KD Cannon, Mount Pleasant, Texas: Cannon is so productive. He was great during one-on-ones on Saturday and continued to do well in the 7-on-7 tournament. He has the ability to break free from coverage at any moment, get behind the coverage and make a big play.
8. WR Allen Lazard, Urbandale, Iowa: Lazard made numerous plays throughout the day and was especially tough on out routes and going deep. He's athletic when he needs to compete against a cornerback for a jump ball and he uses his size well in those moments.
9. CB Adoree' Jackson, Gardena (Calif.) Serra: Jackson is a super athlete who played more wide receiver than cornerback in the 7-on-7 tournament and did well. He dropped some passes but overall he caught a bunch of touchdowns, is an explosive athlete and at any moment could break deep for a score.
10. QB Deshaun Watson, Gainesville, Ga.: Watson struggled early in the day with his accuracy but then bounced back in a big way and led his team to second place. There is no question Watson has a strong arm and can hit his spots, especially if he can control his passes just a little more.
11. CB Tarvarus McFadden, Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage: McFadden was outstanding and has a knack for being in the right place at the right time, with at least two interceptions on the day. The 2015 prospect could become an even bigger recruit after this weekend since he was so productive in the secondary.
12. LB John Houston, Gardena (Calif.) Serra: Houston is smooth in coverage and is fantastic going sideline to sideline, maybe better than most linebackers in the 2014 class. He has also grown and developed physically in the last year, so if he gets bigger Houston could be even more impressive.
13. CB Jalen Tabor, Washington (D.C.) Friendship Collegiate Academy: Tabor was a late addition because he was supposed to be at a family engagement, but the four-star made the most of it. He was excellent in coverage, physical, tough and he did a great job making plays on the ball on deep passes.

Rivals free article top big men
CHICAGO -- The 7-on-7 tournament and Big Man Challenge were held Sunday at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge presented by Under Armour. Here are the top big men overall.
1. Da'Shawn Hand, SDE, Woodbridge (Va.): Once again, he just made everything look easy. He did not dominate every opponent, but he was easily the most athletic of all the prospects on hand. He was fluid in his movement and is natural at the position.
Da'Shawn Hand's athletic ability again was on display at Soldier Field.
2. Damien Mama, OG, Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco: Mama put in a lot of work over the two days of the event. He went several times and tested himself against the best. He was very consistent, showing surprisingly quick feet, a strong punch and a strong base.
3. Demetrius Knox, OG, Fort Worth (Texas) All Saints: Knox made a strong impression over the two-day event and had an edge on Offensive Line MVP honors before a hamstring injury took him out of the timed events of the Big Man Challenge. He arrived in Chicago in great shape and lost only one one-on-one rep over the weekend.
4. Kentavious Street, SDE, Greenville (N.C.) Rose: The five-star defensive end came through big for Team Tumblr on Sunday. He used his speed and quickness to get the best of his opponents in one-on-ones, and he was among the leaders for his squat through the timed events.
5. Solomon Thomas, SDE, Coppell (Texas): The Texas standout was on point throughout the day. He used a combination of speed and strength, as well as several countermoves, to handle business in one-on-ones, and he was among the best in the timed events, pushing himself as well as his teammates.
6. Mitch Hyatt, OT, Suwannee (Ga.) North Gwinnett: Hyatt was a bit of a surprise on the day as he answered the bell on the first rep with a big win over Hand. He played with great technique, and he displays great pad level. He continued to win several reps throughout the day while taking on some of the top competition
7. Casey Tucker, OT, Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton: Tucker came in and held his own. He showed strong feet and handled the speed rush as well as the power. He stonewalled his Hamilton teammate Qualen Cunningham on his first rep and got a couple of nice pancakes.
8. Damian Prince, OT, Forestville (Md.) Bishop McNamara: Prince drew some tough challengers on the day and answered the bell with wins over Hand and Street. His length, feet and quick punch allow him to set up his hands and gain control of most situations.
9. Zach Rogers, OG, Lewisville (Texas) Hebron: Rogers stepped up big for Team Rivals. He started the day with a strong showing in one-on-ones and closed taking several reps for injured teammates in the timed events. He got great leverage and stonewalled some of the best in the nation.
10. Lorenzo Carter, WDE, Norcross (Ga.): Saturday got off to a slow start, but Carter picked it up on Sunday. He won three of five one-on-ones, showing balance, quickness and speed. He also stepped things up during the timed events for the Big Man Challenge.
11. Derrick Nnadi, DT, Virginia Beach (Va.) Ocean Lakes: Nnadi just got the job done. In one-on-ones, he could not bull rush and he adapted well. He won four of five one-on-one match-ups with surprising agility to go along a strong first punch, and he was a leader throughout the Big Man Challenge.

He arrived in Chicago in great shape and lost only one one-on-one rep over the weekend.
4. Kentavious Street, SDE, Greenville (N.C.) Rose: The five-star defensive end came through big for Team Tumblr on Sunday. He used his speed and quickness to get the best of his opponents in one-on-ones, and he was among the leaders for his squat through the timed events.
5. Solomon Thomas, SDE, Coppell (Texas): The Texas standout was on point throughout the day. He used a combination of speed and strength, as well as several countermoves, to handle business in one-on-ones, and he was among the best in the timed events, pushing himself as well as his teammates.
6. Mitch Hyatt, OT, Suwannee (Ga.) North Gwinnett: Hyatt was a bit of a surprise on the day as he answered the bell on the first rep with a big win over Hand. He played with great technique, and he displays great pad level. He continued to win several reps throughout the day while taking on some of the top competition
7. Casey Tucker, OT, Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton: Tucker came in and held his own. He showed strong feet and handled the speed rush as well as the power. He stonewalled his Hamilton teammate Qualen Cunningham on his first rep and got a couple of nice pancakes.
8. Damian Prince, OT, Forestville (Md.) Bishop McNamara: Prince drew some tough challengers on the day and answered the bell with wins over Hand and Street. His length, feet and quick punch allow him to set up his hands and gain control of most situations.
9. Zach Rogers, OG, Lewisville (Texas) Hebron: Rogers stepped up big for Team Rivals. He started the day with a strong showing in one-on-ones and closed taking several reps for injured teammates in the timed events. He got great leverage and stonewalled some of the best in the nation.
10. Lorenzo Carter, WDE, Norcross (Ga.): Saturday got off to a slow start, but Carter picked it up on Sunday. He won three of five one-on-ones, showing balance, quickness and speed. He also stepped things up during the timed events for the Big Man Challenge.
11. Derrick Nnadi, DT, Virginia Beach (Va.) Ocean Lakes: Nnadi just got the job done. In one-on-ones, he could not bull rush and he adapted well. He won four of five one-on-one match-ups with surprising agility to go along a strong first punch, and he was a leader throughout the Big Man Challenge.
