ReRank Breakdown: 2013 Ohio Recruiting Class

The Ohio 2013 recruiting class experienced a notable shift from their original ranking of 110 to a S2S rerank of 46. This improvement indicates that the program managed to develop talent effectively, particularly among lower-ranked recruits. The class included 21 commits, all of whom were not classified as blue-chip prospects, aligning with the overall strategy of the program to seek potential value in less heralded players.
A significant aspect of this class was the performance of its unranked recruits, particularly Tarell Basham, who became an NFL Starter. His success illustrates that Ohio capitalized on talent overlooked by other programs. Overall, the majority of the recruits achieved at least a College Starter level, reflecting a solid development pipeline that enabled players to contribute effectively.

The Ohio 2013 recruiting class met expectations, as indicated by the substantial improvement in the S2S rerank. While some ranked recruits underperformed, the emergence of unranked players like Basham showcased the program's ability to develop talent effectively. The class as a whole demonstrated that Ohio could find value beyond traditional rankings, contributing positively to the team's depth and performance.
Takeaway: The 2013 class illustrates Ohio's strength in identifying and developing talent, particularly among lower-ranked and unranked recruits.
