ReRank Breakdown: 2011 Iowa State Recruiting Class

The 2011 recruiting class for Iowa State featured a total of 24 recruits, with no blue-chip prospects. The class maintained its original ranking of 64, indicating that expectations were consistent with the overall performance. The outcomes of the recruits present a mix of contributions, with several players reaching the level of College Starter but lacking higher accolades typically associated with more highly ranked recruits.
Overall, the majority of the recruits were able to contribute positively to the program, with six players achieving the status of College Starter. However, the class did not produce any high-impact All-American or NFL prospects, which might have been anticipated given the diversity in recruiting rankings. The standout performance from Jamison Lalk as an All Conference player represents a significant exceedance of expectations, while the misses highlight the volatility in projecting success based on initial rankings.

Overall, the Iowa State 2011 recruiting class met expectations, as the outcomes reflected the initial ranking without significant deviation. The S2S rerank remained unchanged, indicating consistency in the assessment of the recruits’ performance. The notable hit from Lalk suggests that while the class had its strengths, particularly with lower-ranked recruits, the higher-ranked players did not convert their potential into standout performances.
In conclusion, while the class had solid contributors, the lack of high-end outcomes suggests a need for more effective development strategies at the upper tier of recruiting ranks.
