ReRank Breakdown: 2013 Rutgers Recruiting Class

The 2013 recruiting class for Rutgers displayed a mix of outcomes, showcasing both successful development and underperformance relative to original expectations. With a total of 21 recruits, the class produced a variety of outcomes, including several players who became college starters. Notably, Chris Laviano was able to meet expectations by becoming a college starter despite being a lower-ranked recruit. This highlights a positive aspect of Rutgers' development strategy, where coaching and player development can lead to successful outcomes regardless of initial recruiting rankings.
In contrast, the class also included significant misses, particularly with highly ranked recruits such as Lester Liston, who did not progress beyond a contributor role. This discrepancy suggests that while Rutgers was successful in developing talent from lower-ranked recruits, they faced challenges in fully realizing the potential of their higher-profile signings. Overall, the class reflects a program that has made strides in player development but still has room to improve in maximizing the talent of its top recruits.

The Rutgers 2013 recruiting class largely met expectations, with a S2S rerank that improved from 43 to 39, indicating some positive development and impact from the recruits. However, the presence of both hits and misses suggests a nuanced outcome where certain players did exceed expectations while others fell short. The overall takeaway from this class is the importance of development and coaching in harnessing the potential of recruits, regardless of their original rankings.
