The 2012 recruiting class for Troy displayed a mixed bag of outcomes relative to their original recruiting expectations. The class was initially ranked 97th, which suggested a moderate level of talent, but the S2S rerank improved significantly to 80. This indicates that the program experienced some level of success in developing its recruits, particularly those who were lower-ranked.
Several recruits emerged as "Hits," notably players like Jeremy Spikner and Wayland Coleman-Dancer, who became college starters. These outcomes illustrate that Troy was able to cultivate talent that exceeded their initial rankings, particularly among lower-tier recruits. Conversely, the class also included players who fell short of expectations, particularly in the case of ranked recruits who did not significantly outperform their projected roles.
Overall, the performance of the 2012 class shows a blend of development successes and tempered expectations. The ability to cultivate players from lower ranks into starting positions is a positive indicator for the program's recruiting efficacy.
In summary, the Troy 2012 recruiting class met expectations overall, with a mix of strong performances from lower-ranked recruits and some misses from higher-ranked players. The S2S rerank improved, which suggests that the coaching staff was effective in developing talent that was initially overlooked. The key takeaway is that while the class included notable successes, it also highlighted areas where higher-ranked recruits did not reach their full potential.
