ReRank Breakdown: 2013 SMU Recruiting Class

The SMU 2013 recruiting class featured a mix of outcomes that illustrate varying levels of player development. With an original class rank of 72, expectations were modest. However, the S2S rerank moving to 103 indicates that the overall performance of the class did not meet initial expectations, particularly among the higher-ranked players.
Among the 26 recruits, several players emerged as significant contributors, with four hitting above expectations by becoming All Conference or College Starters. This suggests that despite a lack of blue-chip recruits, the coaching staff was effective in developing talent from lower-ranked categories. Conversely, the notable busts among higher-ranked recruits like Traylon Shead and Kolney Cassel illustrate the risk associated with relying on top-tier rankings alone.

Overall, the SMU 2013 recruiting class met moderate expectations with several players outperforming their initial rankings. The S2S rerank indicates a decline, likely due to the underperformance of some highly-ranked recruits. However, the presence of multiple hits within the class demonstrates that the program was able to capitalize on lower-ranked talent effectively. The key takeaway is that while the class had some notable successes, it ultimately did not fulfill its overall potential.
