Recruiting rankings don’t matter in the sense that they don’t affect how good a player will actually end up being. However, teams that get preferential treatment by recruiting services gain undeserved momentum that ends up helping them in their recruiting endeavors. This bias from the recruiting services also takes away credit/recognition from other players and teams who quite frankly deserve it more. The most egregious example of bias from the recruiting services is how they handle The University of Texas, which led to them jumping ahead of Texas A&M football in the 2019 rankings.
