The 2014 recruiting class for Idaho showcased a mix of contributions, particularly from players who were originally unranked or lower-ranked. The presence of four players exceeding expectations by becoming college starters is a positive development for the program. This suggests a potential trend where coaching and player development are effectively elevating talent that may not have been recognized at the time of recruitment.
While the class had some standout performances, the overall outcome indicates challenges with higher-ranked recruits. The class's original ranking of 106 and a significant bump to a 92 in the S2S rerank reflects a modest improvement but emphasizes that the program still faces hurdles in consistently attracting and developing blue-chip talent, as evidenced by the absence of any blue-chip recruits in this class.
Overall, the 2014 recruiting class for Idaho met expectations, with a notable number of contributors and starters emerging from the group. The S2S rerank indicates slight improvement, primarily due to the development of players who outperformed their recruiting rankings. The takeaway is that while the class had several hits that contributed positively, the lack of ranked recruits who significantly exceeded expectations underscores the need for continued focus on recruitment and player development strategies.
