Tide Lands First (and Second, Apparently) Five Star Recruit, Sort Of

Quick recruiting update: DJ Fluker, the DT/OT prospect from Foley that committed to the Tide way back in November of last year, has earned a fifth star from Rivals.com:

Going into this Rivals100 revision, there were 26 five-star recruits. Two more five-star prospects have emerged in Booker T. Washington (Atlanta) cornerback Branden Smith and Foley (Ala.) offensive tackle D.J. Fluker

"Fluker is a prototypical NFL first-round choice as an offensive tackle. He's a 6-foot-7, 325-pound giant who can really move his feet, and that alone makes him special. He also has long arms and superior lateral movement, which will help him be a great pass blocker. And he plays with a nasty streak."

He's got a five star scowl, anyway...

UPDATE: As OTS points out, Trent Richardson is also rated a five star prospect by Rivals.com, giving the Tide two five star commits so far.
