I was one of the co-authors of the blog post about converting elite prospects into draft picks.  We did a follow-up with more complete rankings and explanations:

Stanford does well because of a good balance of 4 and 5 star recruits and because of the school's investment into the program.  One of our findings, based on more robust regression techniques was that if there are too many 5-star players, the probability of being drafted as a 4-star player is reduced.  While that makes common sense based on playing time, it's not something that has been empirically shown.  GO CARD!
