The 2010 recruiting class for Buffalo resulted in a diverse range of outcomes, reflecting a mix of both hits and misses. The class had a total of 19 recruits, with no blue chip prospects, leading to a lower initial class ranking of 109. However, the subsequent S2S rerank to 64 suggests that several players exceeded their initial projections, indicative of effective player development within the program.
Among the recruits, Adam Redden and Okoye Houston emerged as notable hits, achieving All Conference and College Starter status respectively. These outcomes demonstrate the potential for skilled development, even from lower-ranked recruits. Conversely, there were instances of underperformance among ranked recruits like Jasen Carlson and Dante Burton, who failed to capitalize on their higher expectations, indicating that not all recruiting efforts yield the anticipated results.
Overall, the Buffalo 2010 recruiting class can be characterized as having met expectations, particularly in light of the substantial improvement in the S2S rerank. The ability of several unranked recruits to become college starters or earn All Conference honors points to a commendable development strategy. However, the presence of ranked recruits who did not live up to their expected outcomes highlights a mixed bag of results. The key takeaway is that while Buffalo managed to develop talent effectively, the inconsistency among ranked recruits remains a critical area for future improvement.
