ReRank Breakdown: 2013 Houston Recruiting Class

The 2013 recruiting class for Houston showcased a mix of moderate success with several notable hits among lower-ranked recruits. With no blue-chip prospects in the class, the expectation was relatively low. However, both Tyus Bowser and Greg Ward Jr. emerged as NFL starters, demonstrating that Houston was able to develop talent effectively even from lower rankings.
The overall outcomes indicate a class that met expectations for a group ranked in the lower half of FBS. The S2S rerank moving from 52 to 47 suggests a slight improvement in the perceived quality of the class based on player performance, particularly with the two standout players who achieved high outcomes. While the notable hits reflect successful development, the contributions from those ranked higher, such as Parris and Walker, indicate that some expectations were not met.

Overall, the Houston 2013 recruiting class met expectations, particularly through the emergence of several players who became significant contributors. The S2S rerank improved due to the success of Bowser and Ward, both of whom became NFL starters despite their lower original rankings. This class illustrates that effective player development can lead to strong outcomes, even in the absence of highly-rated recruits.
