One-year metrics for this recruiting class
The 2015 recruiting class for Fresno State showcased a mixed bag of outcomes against original expectations. With a class ranking of 73 and a subsequent S2S rerank of 111, the overall performance of the recruits illustrates a decline in projected effectiveness. The blue chip percentage was notably low at 9%, indicating a reliance on lower-ranked recruits.
Several recruits, particularly those who were originally unranked like Tyquwan Glass, demonstrated the potential for development within the program. Glass's emergence as a college starter suggests that Fresno State effectively nurtured talent that might have been overlooked by other programs. However, the presence of multiple players with higher original rankings who did not meet expectations raises concerns about recruiting efficacy.
Fresno State also saw a few players, such as Chason Virgil and James Bailey, who did manage to start at the college level but underperformed relative to their original rankings. The outcomes indicate that while some players were able to develop into contributors or starters, the overall class failed to capitalize on its higher-ranked prospects.
Overall, the 2015 recruiting class for Fresno State underperformed relative to expectations. The S2S rerank moving down from the original ranking reflects that while the program found success with some unranked recruits, it did not reach its full potential with its higher-ranked prospects. The takeaway from this class is a reminder of the unpredictability of recruiting and the necessity for programs to maximize development opportunities for all players, regardless of their initial rankings.
