The 2012 recruiting class for San Diego State demonstrated a notable success in player development, as evidenced by the significant rise in the S2S rerank from 79 to 19. This shift indicates that the players within this class not only filled roster needs but also developed into impactful contributors over their college careers. The presence of players like Lloyd Mills, who achieved All Conference status despite being relatively unheralded at the time of recruitment, highlights the potential within lower-ranked recruits when effectively developed by the program.
The outcomes also reflect a mixture of success and disappointment. The class produced several high-performing individuals, yet it included notable misses among higher-ranked recruits, such as Aaron Boesch. His status as a "Bust" serves as a reminder that even those with high initial rankings can fail to meet expectations. The overall performance of this class suggests a solid track record of development, albeit with some challenges in maximizing the potential of higher-ranked prospects.
Overall, the 2012 recruiting class for San Diego State can be deemed as having outperformed expectations. The S2S rerank reflects a substantial improvement from the original class rank, indicating effective development and contributions from various recruits. The class's ability to produce multiple contributors and starters, alongside a notable All Conference player, reinforces the program's capacity to cultivate talent effectively.
In summary, the 2012 class showcased a strong development trajectory, with key players making significant contributions to the team.
