One-year metrics for this recruiting class
The Arizona State 2015 recruiting class demonstrated a mixed development trajectory. With a total of 26 recruits and a notable blue chip percentage of 32, the class was initially seen as promising, ranked 20th nationally. However, the subsequent S2S rerank to 79 suggests a significant decline in overall effectiveness when measured against performance outcomes.
A key highlight from this class is the presence of multiple players who became college starters, particularly those who were initially ranked lower. For instance, Zach Robertson and JoJo Wicker not only became starters but also showed that the program could effectively develop players beyond their initial scouting evaluations. Conversely, the class also featured several ranked recruits who failed to meet expectations, including Brady White and Davon Durant, both of whom had high original rankings but ended up with low outcome scores.
Overall, the mixture of hits and misses indicates that while some players exceeded their recruiting projections, the class as a whole did not fulfill its potential, as evidenced by the S2S rerank. This reflects broader patterns in recruiting where high initial rankings do not always correlate with successful outcomes.
The Arizona State 2015 recruiting class ultimately underperformed expectations, as indicated by the significant drop in the S2S rerank from 20 to 79. While the class included several hits that developed into valuable contributors, the number of busts among higher-ranked recruits significantly impacted the overall class performance. The takeaway is that while there were successful developments, the overall class did not reflect its initial promise.
