Boise State's 2012 recruiting class exhibited a notable shift in performance compared to original expectations. The class was originally ranked 60th but saw a substantial improvement to a 31st rank in the S2S evaluation. This upward movement suggests that the program successfully developed talent, particularly in unranked and lower-ranked recruits.
The class included a mix of contributors and starters, showcasing the program's ability to maximize potential across various positions. Specifically, several players, such as DeMarcus Lawrence, not only contributed but excelled, achieving recognition at the NFL level, albeit without NFL status due to their unavailability for professional play. This indicates a strong development framework within the Boise State program that prioritizes player growth and performance.
Overall, the 2012 recruiting class for Boise State outperformed expectations, as indicated by the significant jump in the S2S rerank. The program's capacity to cultivate talent from lower-ranked recruits played a crucial role in this success. Notably, the presence of a standout player like DeMarcus Lawrence, despite being unranked for NFL status, further highlights the program's effective development strategies. The key takeaway from this class is that Boise State effectively identified and developed talent, resulting in a stronger than anticipated overall performance.
