The 2014 recruiting class for Western Michigan displayed a mixed outcome in terms of performance relative to original recruiting expectations. With a total of 29 recruits, the Broncos managed to produce several notable players, including three who achieved high outcomes such as All Conference recognition. Asantay Brown and Jarvion Franklin highlighted the class with their significant contributions, showcasing the ability of the program to develop lower-ranked recruits into impactful players.
However, the class also included several recruits who failed to meet expectations, especially those who were more highly ranked. Chance Stewart, ranked 424, did not deliver the anticipated results, marking a considerable decline from his initial recruitment status. This trend indicates that while the program was able to identify talent in lower-ranked players, it struggled to convert higher-ranked recruits into successful contributors on the field.
Overall, the outcomes reflect a slight underperformance against the expectations set by the original class ranking. The S2S rerank of 77 suggests a minor decline in perceived talent level post-evaluation, which aligns with the number of Busts in the class. The ability to identify and develop talent among lower-ranked recruits remains a positive takeaway for the program.
The 2014 recruiting class for Western Michigan underperformed expectations, primarily due to the number of highly ranked recruits who did not succeed. The S2S rerank moved down due to the lack of impactful contributions from these higher-ranked players, which was offset by the success of several lower-ranked recruits. In conclusion, while the class had notable successes, the overall performance did not align with the original expectations.
