ReRank Breakdown: 2014 West Virginia Recruiting Class

The 2014 recruiting class for West Virginia presents a mixed bag of outcomes, showcasing both hits and misses among the recruits. The class originally ranked 37th but saw a significant drop to 106 in the S2S rerank, indicating that many recruits did not meet the expectations set by their initial rankings. This discrepancy suggests challenges in player development and performance compared to their anticipated impact upon arrival.
Among the recruits, the "Hits" category included players like Edward Muldrow, Jaleel Fields, Jaylon Myers, and Keishawn Richardson, who all contributed positively to the team despite their varied original rankings. These contributors demonstrate that while the overall class struggled to meet expectations, there were individual success stories that emerged, particularly from lower-ranked recruits, highlighting instances of effective development within the program.
Conversely, the number of "Bust" outcomes among ranked players—specifically those who failed to make a significant impact—indicates a concerning trend for the program. With a substantial percentage of the class not achieving their projected contributions, the class overall underperformed in alignment with the original expectations set forth by their rankings. This trend poses questions for the coaching staff regarding recruitment strategies and player integration moving forward.

Overall, the 2014 class for West Virginia underperformed compared to its original expectations. While the S2S rerank dropped significantly, it reflects the challenges faced in maximizing player potential. However, the emergence of several contributors from the class provides a silver lining, suggesting that while many recruits did not meet their expectations, effective development practices enabled some to exceed initial projections. In conclusion, the class had a disappointing overall performance, but the identified contributors indicate potential for future development success.
