That's definitely a year that proves my theory wrong as they seemed to get it mostly right.

Your thought process here is faulty. The purpose of recruiting rankings is not necessarily to “get it right”. They are ranking HS kids based on certain athletic traits and abilities along with how they produced in HS. The players ranked higher are considered to have a better chance at success at the next level and possibly the pros. A higher probability not a guarantee, that’s what people miss. Over time a much higher percentage of 5* do succeed but there’s far fewer of them than 3 *. There’s also other factors like development, how hard the kids work, injuries and many others that can’t be quantified or predicted
