ReRank Breakdown: 2014 Syracuse Recruiting Class

The 2014 recruiting class for Syracuse presents a mixed bag of outcomes compared to expectations. With a total of 24 recruits, the class was originally ranked 57th, and after performance evaluation, the S2S rerank moved slightly down to 60. This indicates that while some players developed well, overall, the class did not meet the initial expectations set during recruitment.
The standout performers, such as Steve Ishmael and Zaire Franklin, exemplify the potential within lower-ranked recruits. Their achievements, particularly Franklin's recognition as an NFL Pro Bowl player, highlight the development capabilities of the Syracuse program, despite the overall class ranking. Meanwhile, the presence of several recruits who underperformed relative to their rankings reflects a need for more consistent development across the board.

Overall, Syracuse's 2014 recruiting class underperformed against expectations, evidenced by the slight drop in the S2S rerank. While there were notable successes, particularly with players who demonstrated significant growth, the number of recruits labeled as "Bust" indicates that many did not meet their projected potential. The takeaway from this class is the importance of development and maximizing the output from both high and low-ranked recruits.
