A lot of those highly ranked recruits are hitting their peak in high school or early in college.

Or more recently Stephen Carr of USC.
Additionally, development includes being in the right place right time and right situation (team, scheme, culture etc ...)
Both Luc and Carr looked and played like monsters in high school. But that's high school.
