This is just a hunch, but it seems to me that the rankings rate athletic ability too high - at least compared with the difference it seems to make on the court. I tend to find that a lot of the guys in that 5-25 range end up being athletic but not as multi-dimensional as the guys you get in the bottom half of the top 100. It makes a big difference if you have early declarations enabled too, because a lot of these guys end up sticking around until their junior or senior years.
