The 2013 recruiting class for Central Michigan demonstrated a noteworthy level of development, particularly with multiple players achieving the status of College Starter. This is significant given the team's original ranking of 118 and the subsequent S2S rerank to 84, indicating a clear upward trend in player performance relative to their initial recruiting profiles. The emergence of five players as College Starters, despite the overall lack of blue-chip recruits, highlights effective player development within the program.
The outcomes reflect an ability to cultivate talent from a cohort that was not heavily touted in the recruiting landscape. With no blue-chip recruits, the program successfully transformed several lower-ranked players into key contributors, showcasing their recruiting strategy's effectiveness. While the class had some notable misses, particularly among ranked recruits who did not perform as expected, the overall trend suggests a positive trajectory for the program's development initiatives.
Overall, the Central Michigan 2013 recruiting class met expectations, particularly considering the number of players who became College Starters. The S2S rerank improved due to the development of these players who outperformed their initial rankings. The class's ability to yield multiple contributors from lower-ranked positions is a clear indicator of effective recruiting and player development strategies.
In summary, the 2013 recruiting class for Central Michigan showcased the program's capability to develop talent, leading to solid on-field contributions despite a challenging recruiting landscape.
