The 2010 recruiting class for Oregon State demonstrated a notable shift in development outcomes, moving from an original ranking of 64 to a re-ranked position of 24. This significant improvement indicates that the program was able to maximize the potential of several recruits, particularly those who were initially unranked. The class featured a mix of outcomes, with a few standout performances, including two recruits achieving notable NFL statuses.
The success of D.J. Alexander and Sean Mannion highlights the program's ability to develop talent effectively, especially among those who were not highly ranked at the time of their recruitment. Their successful transitions into professional football serve as a reminder of how ranking does not always predict future success. However, the presence of two ranked recruits, Thomas Molesi and Donnell Welch, who were labeled as busts, illustrates that not all expectations were met.
Overall, the 2010 recruiting class for Oregon State outperformed expectations, as indicated by the S2S rerank moving significantly higher. The re-ranking reflects successful development efforts, particularly with unranked recruits achieving high outcomes. The class's ability to yield significant professional talent, even from lower-ranked and unranked players, underscores a positive trend in recruitment and player development for the program.
Takeaway: Oregon State's 2010 recruiting class showcased a strong developmental capacity, yielding multiple hits and a marked improvement in overall talent outcomes.
