The 2014 recruiting class for San Diego State displayed a mix of outcomes, with a notable portion of players surpassing their initial recruiting expectations. The class was originally ranked 76 but saw an improvement in the S2S rerank to 44, indicating a positive assessment of player development within the program. The presence of multiple players achieving the status of College Starter reflects a commendable effort from the coaching staff in maximizing the potential of the recruits.
While several players underperformed, particularly among the higher-ranked recruits, the emergence of contributors such as Donny Hageman and Fred Trevillion demonstrates the ability of lower-ranked players to develop into key assets for the team. The class included a total of 26 commits, but the blue chip percentage was 0, suggesting a reliance on developmental recruiting rather than attracting top-tier talent. This strategy appears to have paid off with several players reaching starting roles.
Overall, the 2014 recruiting class for San Diego State met expectations, particularly in terms of player development, as evidenced by the number of College Starters. The shift in the S2S ranking reflects the program's ability to cultivate talent, especially among lower-ranked recruits. While some higher-ranked players did not perform as anticipated, the success of unheralded recruits balanced out the overall class performance.
In summary, while the class had its misses, the presence of multiple hits indicates a successful overall outcome in developing players who contributed positively to the team.
