The 2015 recruiting class for Tulane saw a mix of outcomes that reflected varying degrees of success against the original recruiting expectations. The class was ranked 93rd at the outset, and the subsequent S2S rerank to 109 indicates a decline in perceived talent level as the players progressed through their collegiate careers. The absence of blue-chip recruits (0% blue chip percentage) suggests that Tulane's recruiting strategy relied more on developmental players than on immediate impact talent.
Despite the overall challenges, there were notable successes within this class. Keyshawn McLeod and Leeward Brown emerged as college starters, exceeding the expectations set by their lower rankings. This demonstrates Tulane's ability to develop talent and find value among recruits who may not have been highly regarded at the time of their commitments. On the other hand, the presence of ranked recruits who did not perform up to expectations highlights the inherent risks associated with recruiting, particularly when the class lacked elite prospects.
Overall, the 2015 recruiting class for Tulane underperformed relative to its original expectations. The S2S rerank moving down from 93 to 109 indicates a recognition of the limited impact this class had on the program. While the 19 total commits included a few hits that provided starting contributions, the majority of the ranked recruits failed to make a significant impact, resulting in a class that did not capitalize on its initial potential. The key takeaway is that while there were some developmental successes, the overall class performance fell short of expectations.
