The 2013 recruiting class for UAB showcased a mix of outcomes, with a total of 21 recruits. Despite the low original class rank of 107, the program was able to develop players like Jordan Howard and Jamari Staples into contributors at the collegiate level. Howard's recognition as an All Conference player indicates that UAB was able to maximize the potential of some recruits, particularly those who were lower-ranked.
However, the overall development of this class reflects a more challenging narrative when considering the lack of blue-chip recruits (0%) and the S2S rerank moving down to 117. This suggests that while certain players exceeded expectations, many others did not reach the performance levels anticipated based on their original rankings. The presence of several recruits with outcome scores indicating a lack of impact, particularly among ranked recruits, highlights the difficulties UAB faced in developing talent from this class.
Overall, the 2013 recruiting class for UAB met some expectations with the presence of standout contributors like Howard and Staples, but it also fell short in terms of overall effectiveness given the number of recruits who did not perform as anticipated. The S2S rerank moving down indicates that the class did not develop as strongly as hoped, particularly among the higher-ranked recruits. In summary, while there were notable hits, the class largely underperformed expectations based on initial rankings.
