ReRank Breakdown: 2012 Arkansas State Recruiting Class

The 2012 recruiting class for Arkansas State featured a total of 29 commitments, with an original ranking of 52 and a significant jump to a S2S rerank of 93. This indicates a notable improvement in expected player development and performance across the board. The class yielded an impressive number of players who exceeded their original recruiting expectations, particularly with six players achieving All Conference honors, a commendable achievement for a program of this size and stature.
The overall outcomes reveal a strong pattern of developing lower-ranked recruits into key contributors on the field. With a blue-chip percentage of only 3%, the success of this class can be attributed to the effective development strategies employed by the coaching staff. Players like Tres Houston, Jemar Clark, and Michael Gordon exemplify this success, as each transitioned from relatively low rankings to All Conference status. The class, however, did include several ranked recruits who did not fully meet expectations, as evidenced by the outcomes of Eddie Porter, Dexter Blackmon, Chris Humes, and Rocky Hayes. Their contributions as College Starters fell short in comparison to what was anticipated from recruits of their caliber.

Overall, the Arkansas State 2012 recruiting class significantly outperformed initial expectations. The S2S rerank moving from 52 to 93 suggests that player development was notably effective, particularly for lower-ranked recruits who became All Conference players. Conversely, the presence of several highly-ranked players who only reached College Starter status reflects a mixed bag of outcomes. In conclusion, while the class had its misses, the number of hits indicates a successful recruiting effort that delivered strong results on the field.
