The 2013 recruiting class for Kent State had notable outcomes, particularly in the area of player development. The S2S rerank of 79 suggests an improvement in talent evaluation and development compared to the original class ranking of 119. This indicates that the coaching staff was effective in maximizing the potential of certain recruits, particularly those who were lower-ranked or unranked.
Among the total 21 recruits, several players emerged as significant contributors or starters, such as Demetrius Monday and multiple college starters. This demonstrates the program's ability to cultivate talent effectively, particularly from recruits who were not highly regarded in initial rankings. However, the presence of a notable miss in Nathan Strock highlights that not all expectations were met, particularly for some of the higher-ranked players.
Overall, the Kent State 2013 recruiting class met expectations with a mix of contributors and starters. While some recruits excelled, leading to a positive outcome for the program, the inclusion of a high-ranked recruit who failed to perform highlights the unpredictability of recruiting success. The S2S rerank reflects improvements in recruitment strategy and player development, indicating a positive trajectory for the program.
Takeaway: The 2013 class effectively blended high expectations with surprising successes, showing room for program growth.
