ReRank Breakdown: 2013 Marshall Recruiting Class

The 2013 recruiting class for Marshall demonstrated a mix of outcomes, with a notable emphasis on development despite a low blue-chip percentage of 0. The class originally ranked 57th but saw an increase in its S2S rerank to 82, suggesting a positive trajectory in player development within the program. Notably, the class produced one standout player, Neville Hewitt, who transitioned from an unranked recruit to an NFL Starter, indicating the potential for talent identification beyond the rankings.
The majority of the recruits in this class achieved outcomes categorized as "College Starter" or "Contributor," which reflects a solid development pipeline. However, the presence of multiple misses among highly ranked recruits, such as Angelo Jean-Louis and Deon-Tay McManus, illustrates a gap between expected and actual performance. These players did not reach the levels anticipated based on their original rankings, instead settling into more modest roles within the team.

Overall, the Marshall 2013 recruiting class met expectations in terms of development, albeit with some notable misses among its higher-ranked recruits. The increase in the S2S rerank suggests that the coaching staff effectively developed players, but the outcomes for the top recruits did not align with their initial rankings. Consequently, while the class did not fully capitalize on its high-profile prospects, it still managed to produce a competent group of contributors that helped sustain program competitiveness.
Takeaway: This class exemplified the potential for development at Marshall, with a clear need to improve on the outcomes of its highest-ranked recruits.
