The Temple 2016 recruiting class demonstrated a notable improvement from its original ranking of 76 to a S2S rerank of 26, indicating a successful development trajectory for many players. The class included a total of 28 recruits, with a blue chip percentage of only 4, suggesting that the majority of players were not highly regarded prospects at the time of recruitment. However, several recruits emerged as significant contributors, particularly in starting roles.
Among the recruits, a number of players exceeded their initial expectations. For instance, both Karamo Dioubate and Quincy Roche became key contributors, with Roche attaining All American honors, which is a clear indicator of exceptional performance relative to his original ranking. Conversely, the class also featured several players who did not meet expectations, such as Chris Tucker and Taiyir Wilson, who were ranked but ultimately ended up with low outcomes.
Overall, the Temple 2016 recruiting class met expectations, highlighted by the significant number of college starters and one All American designation. The S2S rerank increased substantially, reflecting the development of players who had been undervalued in the initial recruiting process. This class exemplifies the potential for growth among lower-ranked recruits, showcasing effective player development within the program. In conclusion, the class's outcomes suggest a positive trend in recruitment efficacy.
