The Arizona State 2012 recruiting class demonstrated a mix of outcomes, with a total of 26 recruits contributing to the program. The original class rank of 31 suggests a modest expectation, which was not only met but also reflected in the S2S rerank of 61. This indicates that while the class had its strengths, it did not fully capitalize on its potential, as seen through the varied outcomes of the recruits.
The outcomes reveal a pattern where the program developed several players into contributors and college starters, with a few excelling beyond their initial rankings. For example, Salamo Fiso's transition to an All Conference athlete illustrates successful development, highlighting the coaching staff's ability to maximize talent. Conversely, the presence of a miss like Steffon Martin reflects the challenges in realizing the full potential of higher-ranked recruits.
Overall, the Arizona State 2012 recruiting class met expectations but did not significantly outperform them. The S2S rerank moving down to 61 indicates that while some players developed well, the majority did not exceed their initial projections based on recruitment rankings. The class produced a commendable number of college starters but lacked a strong representation of elite outcomes. In conclusion, this class can be seen as a solid but not overwhelmingly successful recruiting effort for Arizona State.
