ReRank Breakdown: 2014 Ball State Recruiting Class

The Ball State 2014 recruiting class, ranked 126th originally and moving up to 115th in the S2S re-rank, reflects a modest level of success in player development. With 19 total recruits and a blue chip percentage of 0%, the class was not heavily favored to generate elite talent from the outset. However, the emergence of players like Corey Lacanaria as a College Starter indicates that the program was able to cultivate some talent effectively, even among unranked recruits.
Analyzing the outcomes, there were several contributors who achieved outcomes that met or exceeded their expectations, while a few ranked recruits fell short. The presence of multiple contributors from lower-ranked players highlights a potential strength in the program’s ability to develop talent beyond initial evaluations. However, the class also featured a notable Bust in David Morrison, which suggests that not all recruits were able to translate their high school potential into collegiate success.

Overall, the 2014 class for Ball State met expectations, showcasing a balance of players who developed into contributors while also experiencing some disappointments with ranked recruits. The S2S rerank upwards indicates that the program may have found success in developing talent that was overlooked by recruiting services. The takeaway from this class is that while there were challenges, the development of players like Lacanaria illustrates the potential for growth within the recruiting framework.
