Hootie was not one of the five. He had committed to Alabama and then decomitted. Many speculated that he or others were playing games to keep LSU from getting Jamal Adams. Didn't work obviously.

And:

Fournette saved a rough day for LSU head coach Les Miles. The high school all-star game was tabbed as "5 for 5" by LSU fans, as five 5-star recruits made their college commitment with the Tigers as finalists. Wide receiver Speedy Noil, defensive lineman Gerald Willis and cornerback Tony Brown spurned LSU for Alabama, Florida and Texas A&M, respectively. Fournette was joined by safety Jamal Adams in choosing LSU. Adams strengthens a defensive back class that was already one of the best the Tigers have ever had.

The "5" were Adams, Fournette, Willis, Brown and Noil:

quote:
“Les Miles was so shocked and surprised I was coming,” Jamal Adams said. Adams made his commitment public on Thursday during the second quarter of the Under Armour All-American Game at Tropicana Field, a 40,000-seat enclosed stadium near St. Petersburg’s downtown. Adams, a five-star safety from Carrollton High in Texas, was one of seven players who committed on national television on a brightly lit stage just off the field. Five had LSU has a finalists. The Tigers got two: Adams and St. Augustine running back Leonard Fournette, the nation’s top-ranked player. LSU lost highly rated in-state talents in defensive tackle Gerald Willis and receiver Devante “Speedy” Noil, both of Edna Karr, and Texas cornerback Tony Brown. Willis chose Florida and Noil picked Texas A&M. Brown says he’s heading to Bama.
