Of course. And over time, teams with better recruiting rankings do better than teams with poorer recruiting rankings. That’s a good general rule.
Pinkel did a good job over time developing his own system which yielded anomalous results. That doesn’t mean the recruiting rankings are useless. It’s just something you tell yourself to give yourself hope.

Recruiting Rankings matter in the sense that they have to match up with the coach and his process. If you're GP and you're from Toledo where you develop your kids for 5 years it's less important. If you are a blueblood who has the expectation to compete for a NC every year, rankings matter because of talent depth. But there is no doubt, having the biggest, fastest kids up and down your depth chart gives you a great advantage. But every once in a while, the coach who develops over 4-5 years sneaks in there(Washington,Oregon), we just need 1 to break through.

I never said they were useless. I said once you get outside of the top 15 or so classes they aren't very reliable.
Yes, the elit NC contenders are filled with top 10 classes but the elite prospects are pretty easy to identify and recruiting sites follow offers with their rankings many times.
Once you get past that though there is no evidence that say the 20th ranked class is going to outperform the 35th ranked class on a year to year basis. The ready made guys stand out. Trying to project guys is simply a crapshoot and there is only a certain number of obvious prospects each year.
