The 2013 recruiting class for Texas Tech reflects a mixed outcome with a significant number of players achieving roles as college starters. Notably, two recruits—Devin Lauderdale and Baylen Brown—exceeded their recruiting expectations by becoming starters, highlighting the potential for development within the program. This indicates that while the original class ranking was relatively low at 48, the Texas Tech coaching staff successfully developed talent from lower-ranked recruits.
In terms of outcomes, the class overall appears to have met expectations, especially given that the S2S rerank improved significantly from 48 to 91. This upward movement suggests that while the initial assessments of the recruits were cautious, the coaching staff was able to harness their skills effectively. However, the presence of two ranked recruits—Demetrius Campbell and Tyler Middleton—who were labeled as "Bust" emphasizes the need for continued evaluation of recruitment strategies.
Overall, the Texas Tech 2013 recruiting class met expectations, with several players stepping into starter roles despite a lower original class ranking. The improvement in the S2S rerank indicates effective development and utilization of the recruits, particularly those who were initially undervalued. Thus, while there were notable misses among higher-ranked recruits, the hits in the class show promise for future recruiting efforts.
