ReRank Breakdown: 2016 Washington State Recruiting Class

The 2016 recruiting class for Washington State had a mixed outcome, with a total of 28 recruits but no blue-chip players. The class initially ranked 89, which is reflective of the overall talent level perceived at the time of recruitment. The S2S rerank, moving up to 78, indicates some positive development among the recruits, although the overall class rating remains at 0, suggesting a lack of elite performance.
Most of the contributors from this class were unranked or low-ranked recruits who managed to make some impact. However, there were also several ranked recruits in the class who did not meet the expectations set by their recruiting profiles, emphasizing that rankings alone do not guarantee success on the field. The presence of contributors alongside a few college starters shows that the program managed to find value in its recruits, even if they did not align with their original rankings.

Overall, the 2016 recruiting class for Washington State met expectations but did not significantly exceed them. The S2S rerank adjustment reflects some improvement in player performance, with a few recruits developing into contributors and starters despite the lack of high-level blue-chip talent. The takeaway is that while the class did not feature standout players, it showed potential in developing lower-ranked recruits into contributors for the program.
