Thanks, I think you hit it especially good on 1) --> 3). I sort of question your 4) and 5) since you could say the same thing about QBs, RBs, WRs, OL, DL, LBers, CB, S In other words, if they hung recruiting services for hitting most of the time correctly, they would be hanging innocent people.

BTW, if what you said about that they aren't qualified to rate kickers and punters and snappers, then fine, let's go with that. Then, the logical result of that should be they should not rate them at all and they should be removed from entering into the average rating of signees/commits. I agree with you BTW pretty much on your answers but it makes them look stupid and mathetically naive to then drop teams who sign punters, placekickers, and snappers...and it can definitely do a number on the average rating column.

So why get excited or upset with recruiting rankings at all?

a lot of services have discussed this before.

However, I don't think they strategically want to do that and just hand over that 'market' to other services that do fully evaluate those positions.

I will say that they can justify those rankings because a punter or kicker rarely drops a team because they only rank teams based on the top 20 or so kids.
