The 2013 recruiting class for Southern Miss displayed a mixed level of performance relative to expectations. While the overall class was ranked 94th initially, it saw improvement in the S2S re-rank to 60, which indicates some players exceeded their anticipated contributions. The class featured a range of outcomes, with several players achieving notable success, particularly among those who were unranked or low-ranked.
The standout performance came from Nick Mullens, who emerged as an NFL Starter, showcasing significant development that surpassed his original ranking as the 2228th recruit. Additionally, the presence of multiple contributors and college starters, such as Dylan Bradley and Devin Farrior, highlights a successful recruitment of lower-ranked players, suggesting the program's ability to develop talent effectively. However, the class also included several higher-ranked recruits like Fred Moore, who failed to deliver on their projected impact, resulting in a mixed bag of outcomes.
Overall, the Southern Miss 2013 recruiting class met expectations to some extent, given the upward movement in the S2S re-rank. The presence of high-performing players like Mullens contrasted with the disappointments of some higher-ranked recruits, resulting in a diverse set of outcomes. The takeaway from this class is that while there were some standout performances, the underwhelming results from top recruits highlight the unpredictable nature of recruiting effectiveness.
