ReRank Breakdown: 2015 Kent State Recruiting Class

The 2015 recruiting class for Kent State displayed a mix of outcomes that highlight both successes and shortcomings. While the overall class ranking was 92, which positioned them in the lower tier of the MAC, the S2S rerank of 99 indicates a slight improvement in expected player contributions as their careers progressed. This suggests that while initial expectations may have been modest, the program was able to identify and develop a few players who exceeded their recruiting profiles.
Notably, the class saw several players emerge as college starters, including Jim Jones, Theodore Eboigbe, and others. These individuals demonstrated the ability to perform at a level that surpassed their initial rankings, contributing positively to the team's performance on the field. However, there were also instances where ranked recruits, such as Carlos Pickett and D'Andre Smart, did not meet expectations, leading to their classification as "Bust." This dichotomy underscores a potential area for improvement in evaluating and developing talent among higher-ranked recruits.

Overall, the Kent State 2015 recruiting class met expectations in terms of developing players, with a notable number of contributors emerging from unranked or lower-ranked positions. The class's ability to generate multiple college starters reflects positively on the program's recruitment and development strategy. The S2S rerank moving from 92 to 99 indicates that while there were challenges, some players were able to grow beyond their initial projections. Ultimately, the class's performance illustrates that while there were clear hits, the presence of underperforming ranked recruits suggests that further refinement in recruitment strategies could enhance future classes.
