The 2015 recruiting class for New Mexico State displayed a mix of outcomes that reflect the program's overall development patterns. With an original class rank of 129, the expectations were modest, and the subsequent S2S rerank to 63 indicates an improvement in recruiting effectiveness. The class featured a total of 14 recruits, none of which were blue-chip prospects, highlighting the challenges faced in attracting higher-ranked talent.
Among the recruits, four players who were originally unranked became college starters, showcasing the potential for player development within the program. Additionally, two ranked recruits failed to meet their expectations, demonstrating that not all higher-ranked prospects translate into significant contributions on the field. This blend of hits and misses illustrates the importance of coaching and player development over simply recruiting rankings.
Overall, the 2015 recruiting class for New Mexico State somewhat exceeded expectations, particularly with the performance of unranked recruits who became college starters. The S2S rerank improved due to the presence of multiple contributors who solidified their roles on the team despite the lack of blue-chip talent. The key takeaway from this class is that effective player development can yield positive outcomes, even from recruits who were not highly regarded at the time of their recruitment.
