The 2007 recruiting class for South Florida saw a notable shift in performance relative to original expectations. The class, originally ranked 73rd, experienced a positive adjustment to 46th in the S2S rerank, indicating that several recruits performed better than anticipated. This is particularly evident in the case of Terrell McClain, who emerged as an NFL Starter despite being ranked 464th initially, showcasing the program's ability to develop talent from lower-ranked positions.
However, the class also featured ranked recruits who did not fulfill the expectations set by their rankings. Alton Voss, ranked 603rd, was labeled a Bust, which reflects poorly on the anticipated contributions from higher-ranked players. The class contains a mix of contributors and lower-impact players, with a total of 20 recruits but no blue-chip prospects. This absence of high-profile recruits suggests a reliance on developmental talent rather than immediate impact players.
Overall, the South Florida 2007 recruiting class met expectations, primarily due to the successful development of lower-ranked recruits like McClain. The S2S rerank improved, indicating that while some players underperformed, the class as a whole showed potential through effective player development. The key takeaway is that while there were notable hits, the absence of higher-ranked players contributing significantly limited the overall impact of the class.
