Hits & Misses

Hit: Josh Hubner (K) — Originally ranked 119. Outcome: All American. Hubner significantly exceeded expectations, achieving All American honors as a kicker despite being a lower-ranked recruit. Miss: Brent Walker (OT) — Originally ranked 755. Outcome: Bust. Walker, a higher-ranked recruit, did not meet expectations, resulting in a classification of "Bust" for his performance.

Development Story

The Arizona State 2011 recruiting class consisted of 16 total recruits, with a low blue chip percentage of 6%. This indicates a heavy reliance on lower-ranked prospects, a strategy that can yield varied results. The class was originally ranked 59 but saw a slight improvement in the S2S rerank to 50, suggesting some positive outcomes from the recruits despite their overall low ranking.
In evaluating the outcomes, several players surpassed their recruiting expectations, notably Josh Hubner, who was recognized as an All American. This highlights a potential trend where lower-ranked recruits may have found success in the program. However, the presence of a ranked recruit like Brent Walker who fell into the "Bust" category reflects the risks associated with higher expectations for certain players. This juxtaposition illustrates the unpredictable nature of recruiting.

Outcome Summary

Overall, the Arizona State 2011 recruiting class largely met expectations but also showcased a few notable successes and failures. The S2S rerank moving up indicates that while the class had its share of challenges, some players did exceed their original recruiting projections. The takeaway from this class is that while Arizona State managed to find talent among its recruits, the reliance on lower-ranked prospects resulted in a mixed bag of outcomes.
