People who make their living sizing up high school recruits for the next level overwhelmingly know what they're doing: Coaches who pass on future stars while handing out scholarships to future busts tend not to last very long. And even the online recruiting rankings, when taken as a whole, have a consistent track record of predicting who's going to make it and who's not.
