The 2014 Tulsa recruiting class featured a total of 23 recruits, with no blue-chip prospects and an overall class rating of 79.45. The original ranking of 86 indicates a class expected to struggle relative to peers, yet the S2S rerank to 76 suggests some degree of improvement in talent evaluation or performance during their tenure at the program.
Several recruits emerged as significant contributors, with four players achieving All Conference status, which indicates a higher level of performance than anticipated. This reflects positively on the coaching staff's ability to develop talent, particularly among lower-ranked players. The presence of multiple contributors and several college starters highlights the capacity for effective player development, even within a class that was initially viewed as underwhelming.
Conversely, the outcomes of some higher-ranked recruits reveal the challenges inherent in recruiting, as some players did not fulfill their projected potential. Notably, Deandre Murray, originally ranked 928, experienced a disappointing outcome classified as a "Bust," illustrating that even higher-ranked prospects can sometimes fail to deliver on their promise.
Overall, the 2014 recruiting class for Tulsa can be characterized as having met expectations. The movement from an original class rank of 86 to a S2S rerank of 76 suggests that while the class had its challenges, there were notable successes among lower-ranked players, particularly in the All Conference categories. The ability of several recruits to significantly outperform their initial rankings indicates that the coaching staff successfully identified and developed talent.
In summary, the 2014 class demonstrated a mix of outcomes, with standout performances from lower-ranked recruits highlighting the program's potential for growth and development.
