First, I trust Kirby and staff over the rankings. However, all of these points totals are fairly useless when using only the top 20 signees in an unlimited signers era.
There is a massive difference between a class of 32 players with 25 or more upper tier 4 stars or better and a class of 22 that has the same average rating player but ten less of them.
All of the recruiting services need to ditch the 20 signer arbitrary limit and just give total points for all players signed. It will rank teams that sign more kids higher, but it should as anyone would rather have 32 kids averaging 4 stars than 22 kids averaging 4 stars. The 32 kid class is usually going to produce more starters, draft picks, all-Americans, etc. just off of sheer numbers.
