COACHING MATTERS
If you go by your comment earlier that the class is 2 years removed from paying off, the results you posted above seem to follow the trend that the recruiting class ranking does matter and impacts win column.
Coaching/system is the most important factor in CUSA. The class rankings could be the difference of 26 players signed vs 20. Class ranking is not based on who signed higher rated players...mostly who has the largest class. Not always the case but more times than not.
I will trade out a #1 ranked class for a middle of the pack class for a good coach running a exciting system, that can put 40 points on the scoreboard.
Nothing is always....
part of each class will never step on the fb field
Below is Western bottom 25 ranked recruits since 2010 (lowest ranked) and 3 of those played in the NFL and 3 or 4 others started on 2 conference championship teams
Joe Brown 2014 0.733

RE: Football recruiting
4 years is when the recruit pays off. Their junior and senior seasons will be their most productive. Measure the success 4 years from the signing class.

Rivals is a more passive system where 247 seems to be more proactive. You really need to have an active Rivals site admin for your school's site to get good content upgraded on time. Our Rivals site is way off because we haven't had an admin for about a year now.

We are usually ranked higher in 247 and lower in Rivals. Rivals is definitely the better site. 247's computer formula seems to give everyone 3 stars and projects recruits will commit to teams that haven't even offered them a scholarship. Very odd.

If you have an active Rivals admin for your site who is competent then it can be a great asset.................but if you don't..........

The crystal ball feature on 247 sports is definitely a marketing ploy.

RE: Football recruiting
Today is the day. A lot of buzz around what many believe is Kiffins first true signing class. Kiffin said he would initially recruit JUCOs/ Grad transfers to fill in the holes and eventually transition to heavily recruiting from high schools.

RE: Football recruiting
Some of Marshall commitments will not sign. On rivals they have 30 commitment while can only add 25. MALIK TOLBERT for example has academic issues and MU might not want to waste a S'ship. Good kid but didn't excel in classroom. Colleges can only give out 25 in a year.
Edit: Tolbert told did sign so I was wrong. Great pickup by MU.

247’s system is updated more frequently and the projections are made by “experts”, usually media, you can check the prediction percentage on their respective pages. 247 is much more reliable. Too many schools are inactive on rivals making their rankings, commits, decommits have very little value.

Since Marshall accepts NQers, the kid can sign and be a NQer, NQers do not take up a scholarship, they are required to pay their own way as a NQer and can not use athletic facilities or practice with the team. Also coaches have a limited amount of time they can interact with NQers. They also do not count against the APR until they are officially part of the roster.
Marshall and Doc himself have been pretty successful taking NQers. Brenden Knox (2017-present), Frankie Hernandez (2015-18), Jaquan Yulee (2017-present), Darius Hodge (2018-present) are just a few that Marshall has taken over the past few years. If you wanna go further back then there is Vinny Curry (08-11, 2nd draft pick Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Bucs) and Mike Bartrum (1989-93, 13 yr NFL vet that played for KC, GB, NE and Philly)

COACHING MATTERS
Obviously coaching does matter, but your own stats prove recruiting also matters. 3-4 after recruitment the classes reflect their value.
Also, the completeness if a class is important. Look at FAU for example, we struggled because of an incomplete team (poor kicking, entire O Line injured). The completeness (number of recruits) is definitely a factor, but if you choose to focus only on the quality of recruit, 247 also has a metric for that. The 2011 class for that last example was ranked #2 and they lead you to winning seasons during their upperclassman years. Besides that didn’t Brandon Doughty play for like 10 years? I’m sure if you average it out for all teams you will see there is a major correlation between recruiting and on the field success.

NCAA screwed up by allowing the early signing period in football. What had turned into an NFL Draft like day of football has been watered down and neither day really has the impact of just a few years ago.

So do they actually "sign"? It's the same as going to JUCO to get grades up but you bring them to Marshall right? They can leave and go wherever they want without transfer rules effecting them at the end of the year, no?

RE: Football recruiting
Yes, the mindset is get kids in school, on track academically and moving forward toward their degree than going Juco. Juco academics are sketchy mostly and a joke at worst. Most NQ’s seem to have the GPA, as they did/will graduate HS; most just flubbed in the ACT or SAT.
