Overall, the San Diego State 2010 recruiting class demonstrated a notable capacity for development, especially among unranked recruits. The class featured a total of 27 commits, with a zero blue chip percentage, indicating a focus on lower-ranked players and unranked prospects. This strategy appears to have yielded positive results, as many athletes transitioned into significant roles, particularly as College Starters.
The outcomes from this class reflect a general trend of players exceeding expectations. Notably, several recruits who were originally unranked achieved College Starter status, highlighting the coaching staff's ability to develop talent effectively. Additionally, ranked recruits such as J.J. Whittaker and Jake Fely not only met but exceeded their recruiting expectations by earning All Conference honors.
The San Diego State 2010 recruiting class largely met and, in many cases, exceeded expectations based on their original rankings. The S2S rerank improved from 81 to 66, suggesting a successful development trajectory for many players, particularly those who were unranked at the time of recruitment.
