ReRank Breakdown: 2016 Buffalo Recruiting Class

The 2016 recruiting class for Buffalo, originally ranked 99, faced challenges in meeting expectations as indicated by the S2S rerank of 73. The class produced a mix of outcomes, with several recruits underperforming relative to their rankings, particularly those who were expected to contribute more significantly based on their original ratings.
Several players, including Caleb Wilson and Tyrone Hill, were ranked but did not deliver on their potential, with Wilson being labeled as a "Bust." In contrast, the class did feature some standout performances, notably Kayode Awosika, who emerged as an NFL starter, showcasing that even lower-ranked recruits can exceed expectations dramatically.

Overall, the Buffalo 2016 recruiting class underperformed based on original expectations, as indicated by a significant number of recruits failing to make a notable impact. The S2S rerank reflects this trend, moving down due to the lack of high-performing players from the class. While there were hits, such as Awosika, the overall output did not align with the initial recruitment projections.
This class serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of recruiting outcomes, illustrating that even programs with diverse talent can struggle to translate potential into performance.
