ReRank Breakdown: 2014 Arkansas State Recruiting Class

The 2014 recruiting class for Arkansas State had a total of 24 recruits, with no blue-chip prospects in the mix. The original class rank of 116 reflects a low expectation for talent, and the S2S rerank moving slightly up to 105 suggests that while there were some positive contributions, overall performance did not significantly exceed the initial assessments.
The class produced a total of 9 contributors and 1 All Conference performer, indicating a moderate level of success in developing talent. Notable outcomes included Blaise Taylor’s achievement, which highlights the potential for unheralded recruits to rise above expectations. However, many recruits with higher original rankings did not achieve the same level of success, as seen with Carderious Dean, who was only able to contribute minimally.

Overall, the 2014 recruiting class for Arkansas State met expectations, particularly given the low initial ranking. The slight improvement in the S2S rerank reflects a solid number of contributors, although the lack of highly ranked players achieving significant accolades points to a limited ceiling for this class. The takeaway from this recruiting cycle is that while there were some hits, the overall talent pool was not conducive to outperforming the established expectations significantly.
