Some of that is "smoke and mirrors" as a large number of recruits can skew the rankings compared to the quality of recruits in a smaller class. Schools with larger classes might be losing a lot of senior whereas the smaller classes might have very few seniors so there are a lot of variables. Now if you want to look at how many 4 and even 5 star kids a school might be getting...

Here's a good example. South Carolina is ranked pretty low because they have only 9 commitments but look at the quality of these guys. We'd love to have most, if not all of them
