[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2768259, member: 73370"] i think overall the recruiting rankings in the case of large numbers are accurate. the problem is that we all know there are a number of kids who for a variety of reasons get overlooked or under rated. we have also seen a recent bias in the criteria as a result of the early signing date. take for example hookfin and andrew coker. neither player signed at the early date. coker was waiting to make sure tcu was the place for him and hookfin really didn't get much attention until his senior season. remember that hookfin was a mult-year starting offensive tackle for a large, well known high school in a highly recruited suburb of houston so he didn't come out of nowhere. he simply got better, but so did andrew coker and coker came out of high school with an nfl type frame while hookfin needed to gain weight. the biggest difference it seemed the drove hookfin to the 4-star rating was all the attention he got late, but did he get the attention because he was that good or all the other offensive tackles of note had signed? we saw the same thing with the linebacker out of virginia who goes from having no rating to a top-25 in the nation at his position. why does it matter? in regards to the accuracy of a large numbers perspective it does, but what is does do is either inflate or deflate class ratings which impacts the message delivered by media outlets suchs as espn, multiple schools hammer the message to recruits that the best want to play with the best and the class rankings matter, and friends i have who coach in high school have mentioned their kids are aware of the class rankings.
