The Wyoming Cowboys' 2012 recruiting class showcased a mix of outcomes that reflected both successes and shortcomings relative to initial expectations. With an original class rank of 103 and a subsequent S2S rerank of 69, the program demonstrated the ability to develop some talent effectively, leading to a total of 10 players achieving a College Starter status or better. This indicates a positive trend in player development, particularly for those who were not highly regarded coming out of high school.
Particularly noteworthy was Chase Roullier, who transformed from a low-ranked recruit into an NFL Starter, underscoring the program's capacity to identify and cultivate talent that others overlooked. However, the presence of several highly ranked recruits who did not meet expectations, such as Bernthaler, Awrabi, and Thompson, highlights areas where the program may need to refine its evaluation and development processes.
Overall, the outcomes for this class suggest that while Wyoming was able to develop some players effectively, there were notable misses among higher-ranked recruits. This dichotomy illustrates the complexities inherent in recruiting and player development, where rankings do not always correlate directly with future performance on the field.
Overall, Wyoming's 2012 recruiting class met expectations in some areas while underperforming in others. The S2S rerank improved, indicating that the development of certain recruits was successful, particularly with players like Roullier. However, the presence of multiple misses among higher-ranked players tempered the overall success of the class. In conclusion, this class serves as a reminder that effective recruiting can yield surprising outcomes, but consistency in evaluation and development remains a critical factor for future success.
