That's another really good point - the rating system isn't weighed necessarily the same for each position, and a class ranking is heavily dependent on player/position distribution, which a lot of coaches don't get right. I think offer lists are also another good factor to consider.

If all of your glaring and debilitating weaknesses are on the paper thin offensive line, but you don't really address those needs and add a 5* WR, a 4* QB, and three 4* RBs, your class will probably look good on paper, but that weakness is going to grow to be something you can't overcome the next year, and the G5 teams on your schedule are going to hang around until the fourth quarter.

I want to say that something like that hit someone, maybe Tennessee? It was not too long ago, a school had a great haul at the skill positions but didn't do nearly as well because they were thin in the trenches.
