ReRank Breakdown: 2014 Rice Recruiting Class

The 2014 recruiting class for Rice showed a notable improvement in terms of outcomes compared to their original recruiting positions. The class was originally ranked 91st but experienced a significant rise in the S2S rerank to 41, indicating that many recruits developed well within the program. The lack of blue-chip recruits (0% blue chips) highlights a reliance on developing lower-ranked players, which the outcomes support.
In total, there were 20 commits, and while there were no blue chip players, Rice managed to produce outcomes that included an NFL starter in Calvin Anderson. This demonstrates that the program successfully developed talent that may not have been highly regarded at the time of recruitment. Multiple players achieved a "College Starter" outcome, indicating that a fair number of recruits contributed meaningfully to the team.

Overall, the class met expectations by improving from its original ranking to a higher S2S rerank. The presence of an NFL starter and several college starters indicates effective player development, especially for a class that had no blue chip recruits. The takeaway is that Rice's recruiting strategy focused on developing talent from lower ranks, resulting in a respectable outcome for the 2014 class.
