ReRank Breakdown: 2015 Rutgers Recruiting Class

The 2015 recruiting class for Rutgers displayed a mixed bag of outcomes relative to the original expectations set by their rankings. With an original ranking of 57 and a total of 28 recruits, Rutgers had a low blue chip percentage of just 4%. This indicates that the majority of their class consisted of lower-ranked players, which typically translates to lower expectations for on-field success. Despite this, the class managed to produce some notable hits, particularly with players like Jonah Jackson and Blessuan Austin, who not only contributed at the college level but also advanced to professional careers.
The S2S rerank of 77 suggests that although the class did not significantly exceed expectations overall, there were individual performers who developed well within the program. This indicates a potential for improvement in player development, as evidenced by the successful transitions of players such as Jackson and Austin into impactful roles. The presence of multiple contributors and college starters also points to a moderate level of success in developing talent, even if the overall class outcome remained average.

Overall, the Rutgers 2015 recruiting class met expectations, with a balanced distribution of contributors and college starters among its ranks. While the class had several underperformers, the successes, particularly of Jackson and Austin, highlight areas where the program has excelled in player development. The movement in the S2S rankings reflects a recognition of growth potential, suggesting that the coaching staff was able to maximize the abilities of certain recruits. The clear takeaway from this class is that while not all players met their expectations, the hits indicate a positive trajectory for the program's recruiting efforts.
