*Our rankings are based off of analysis of all three junior rankings metrics, and WAGR (for int'l athletes) for the athletes which we have received confirmation of commitment. We may not have full information regarding all of the top int'l athletes; please send us any information that we may be missing!
6/30: The only new addition to our teams this month is Pavel Tsar to Notre Dame, giving them one top-50 and two top-75 recruits. In the top 10, things are a bit murky after the top 2. Alabama's Hinson has been sidelined due to injury, and his status is unknown at this time. There are teams such as Clemson, Georgia, BYU, Arizona State and North Carolina that each have one highly ranked recruit with an additional recruit who has yet to break through this year. Other teams such as Princeton, Texas, TCU. and UCLA have several solid top-30 or top-50 recruits for a well rounded class. We've moved Texas up to #6 ahead of UCLA and Georgia this month, and look to move teams around as some of the supporting recruits hopefully break through this summer.
4/30: Duke enters our list of teams to look at, as they have a trio of top-100 recruits. New commits haven't affected our top-10, but recent tournament performances and athletes idle from play may cause a shift soon. Vanderbilt continues to distance itself from the rest, with Hartman and Riebe in our top-5. Auburn has lost some ground but remains #2. Clemson has had a mixed bag of results in recent tournaments, and all Princeton commits continue to be ranked in the top-25 on JGS. Cal is one to watch, as Kim and Loree have started their seasons strong. Georgia's Culbreth continues his consistent play, and his future teammate's performance will determine the Bulldogs' placement. The same holds true for BYU, as Akina continues to knock it out of the park, but Shelley has been idle. TCU and Oklahoma have similar player profiles, and we should watch for a rise from Texas A&M & Arizona State.
5/16: There is no new movement on our list, as performance at the Mayakoba Invitational or recent commitments have not changed the rankings. Several commits have qualified to US Open sectional qualifying: Auburn's Logan Reilly, Georgia's JD Culbreth, BYU's Kihei Akina, and TCU's Austin Hofferkamp.
5/30: No new commits have affected our rankings, but Vanderbilt and Auburn continue to solidify their place at the top of our list following May results from Will Hartman, Jon Ed Steed, and Logan Reilly. We're keeping an eye on Texas' duo of Simmons and Villanueva, the latter has turned in steady performances as of late. We expect some movement from teams 5-8 in the upcoming months.
