High school rankings are notorious for not producing talent beyond that level. Freshman declare with the intent of spending a year and hitting the league. Look at how the top #15 shook out with their ESPN HS ranking and subsequent draft spot and keep in mind that some of the top 15 are still in school (or a dummy like Alexander who declared).
