ReRank Breakdown: 2012 South Florida Recruiting Class

The 2012 recruiting class for South Florida showcased a blend of outcomes that reflected varying levels of development. With a total of 18 recruits and a blue chip percentage of 11, this class featured some notable successes. The presence of players like Aaron Lynch, who excelled to become an NFL Starter despite being originally unranked, underlines the potential for unheralded recruits to outperform expectations significantly.
However, the class also included several recruits that did not reach the heights suggested by their rankings. Sean Price and Tevin Mims, both of whom were ranked in the top 150, delivered outcomes that were commendable but fell short of the anticipated impact associated with their initial assessments. This contrast highlights a significant aspect of recruiting: while some players exceed expectations, others, particularly those with higher rankings, may not develop as projected.

Overall, the 2012 class for South Florida met expectations in some areas while falling short in others. The S2S rerank improved slightly from 53 to 48, indicating a marginal increase in perceived talent after evaluating actual performance. The outcomes reveal a mix of both success stories and underwhelming performances, particularly among higher-ranked recruits. The class demonstrates the unpredictability of recruiting, where initial rankings do not always correlate with eventual success on the field.
