The 2014 recruiting class for Southern Miss demonstrated a mix of outcomes that reflect both the challenges and successes of the program. With no blue-chip recruits in the class, the team focused on developing talent from lower-ranked players. The S2S rerank moving up from 80 to 48 suggests that the overall talent level was higher than initially perceived, indicating effective player development and coaching.
Despite the class's potential, the outcomes revealed several players who did not meet their recruiting expectations. Notably, highly ranked recruits such as Norman Price failed to secure NFL opportunities, representing a significant gap between anticipated and actual outcomes. Conversely, lower-ranked players like Korey Robertson managed to carve out successful collegiate careers, showcasing the program's ability to develop talent beyond initial rankings.
Overall, the 2014 recruiting class for Southern Miss met expectations, particularly considering the lack of blue-chip prospects. The S2S rerank reflects a positive adjustment in the evaluation of player potential, highlighting successful development processes within the program. In summary, while there were some notable misses among the higher-ranked recruits, the presence of several contributors and starters indicates a balanced outcome for this recruiting cycle.
