ReRank Breakdown: 2013 Toledo Recruiting Class

The 2013 recruiting class for Toledo demonstrated a mix of outcomes that reflect both significant successes and notable disappointments. The class was originally ranked 77th nationally, and the S2S rerank to 44 indicates a considerable improvement in perceived talent and performance following their collegiate careers. This climb in rank is supported by the emergence of players like Kareem Hunt and Logan Woodside, who not only contributed to Toledo's success but also achieved high outcomes relative to their initial rankings.
The class included a total of 22 recruits, of which only a small percentage were blue chip prospects, indicating a reliance on mid-tier talent. The blue chip percentage of 5 highlights the program's strategy to develop less heralded recruits into contributors and stars. While players such as Hunt and Woodside exemplify successful development, the presence of multiple highly ranked recruits who did not perform as expected points to challenges in player development and fit within the program.

Overall, the Toledo 2013 recruiting class met expectations, particularly when considering the outcomes of several low-ranked recruits who exceeded their original projections. The S2S rerank improved due to the significant contributions from players who developed into standout performers, overshadowing the disappointments from a few higher-ranked recruits who did not produce. The takeaway from this class is the effectiveness of Toledo's recruitment strategy in developing talent, particularly among lower-ranked players, while also highlighting the need for improved outcomes from higher-ranked prospects.
