ReRank Breakdown: 2011 East Carolina Recruiting Class

The 2011 recruiting class for East Carolina showcased a mix of outcomes that reveal both strengths and weaknesses in player development. With a total of 26 recruits, the class had a modest blue chip percentage of 4, indicating a reliance on lower-ranked prospects. Despite this, there were notable successes, such as Zeek Bigger, who was recognized as an All-Conference player, demonstrating that even lower-ranked recruits can exceed expectations.
The overall assessment of the class indicates a trend where many of the recruits, particularly those ranked outside the top tier, managed to secure starting roles at the collegiate level. This is evident with eight players achieving College Starter designations. However, the presence of several highly ranked recruits who did not meet their potential, such as John Lattimore, James Blanks, and Leroy Vick, illustrates that not all ranked recruits translate into successful college players.

In summary, the East Carolina 2011 recruiting class met expectations in certain areas but also revealed significant misses among its higher-ranked recruits. The S2S rerank dropped from 74 to 109, reflecting a decline in anticipated performance as measured against actual outcomes. The class's ability to produce several College Starters indicates some success, yet the number of Busts among higher-ranked players suggests that recruitment strategies may need reassessment. Overall, this class serves as a reminder that rankings do not always equate to performance on the field.
