These rankings are only ever decent for very elite players. If you're not an elite FBS program pulling in top 300 recruits, I don't think it's worth your time looking into these things. Also the recruiting websites don't pay any attention to new york recruits. ESPN doesn't have a single NY high school player evaluated for the class of 19.
Jeremy Rucket is from Lindenhurst and was a 4 star TE recruited by Ohio State . I watched him play last season and he is the real deal. But for the most part, yeah. The NE is not a breading grounds for recruits.
