ReRank Breakdown: 2016 UTSA Recruiting Class

The 2016 recruiting class for UTSA displayed a mixed pattern of development, with several contributors emerging from lower-ranked recruits. Notably, players like Carrington Kearney and Franklin Uesi significantly contributed to the program, despite their lower initial rankings. This indicates that UTSA may have effectively identified and developed talent beyond traditional recruiting rankings, which is a promising sign for the program’s evaluation and development processes.
Conversely, the class also included players who underperformed relative to their rankings, such as Austin Blake-Smith and Tanner Myers. Their inability to contribute at a meaningful level highlights a potential area for improvement in the recruiting process. Overall, while the class showcased some positive outcomes, it also reflects the challenges that come with recruiting expectations versus actual performance.

Overall, the UTSA 2016 recruiting class met expectations. The S2S rerank moved up from 75 to 89, suggesting a recognition of the potential and contributions from various recruits. The presence of several contributors from lower-ranked positions indicates successful talent identification, while the busts from ranked recruits suggest areas for refinement in future classes. The key takeaway is that while there were notable hits, the overall success was moderated by the underperformance of some higher-ranked players.
