How accurate are recruiting rankings?

Hard to say, really. Sometimes, they are right on the money; sometimes, they are way off. At best, they give an idea of what a player might become in college, under the right circumstances. However, they are based on relatively low levels of data - guys haven't necessarily been playing that long, or in that particular position; guys are still growing, so size and coordination can change; guys are entering an entirely new world - some will retain discipline and focus, others will lose it all; etc., etc., etc.
