ReRank Breakdown: 2013 New Mexico Recruiting Class

The 2013 recruiting class for New Mexico demonstrated a notable trend in the development of lower-ranked recruits. The class included three players—Garrett Hughes, Teriyon Gipson, and Dakota Cox—who not only met but exceeded expectations by achieving All Conference recognition despite their lower initial rankings. This suggests a successful identification of talent that may have been overlooked by other programs.
Conversely, the outcomes of some higher-ranked recruits, such as David Guthrie and Clayton Mitchem, indicate that expectations were not fully realized. While both players became College Starters, their performance did not elevate them to a higher distinction, reflecting a gap between recruitment projections and actual on-field impact. The presence of a Bust designation for Solomon Normore further emphasizes the potential risks associated with recruiting top-tier talent that does not pan out.
Overall, New Mexico's ability to develop lower-ranked players into impactful contributors is a positive takeaway from this class, signaling a focused effort on player development and scouting potential.

Overall, the 2013 recruiting class for New Mexico met expectations when assessing the performance of lower-ranked recruits. The S2S rerank improved significantly, moving from 85 to 64, highlighting the success in identifying players who could perform at a higher level than anticipated. However, the presence of ranked recruits who did not significantly impact the program indicates areas for improvement in recruitment strategy. In summary, New Mexico's 2013 class showcased strong development of lower-ranked talents while revealing the inconsistency of higher-ranked recruits.
