8/2: There are some big moves in our rankings this month. Florida's addition of international star Joshua Bai and Trevor Gutschewski's win at the US Junior vault the Gators into the #2 spot all the way from our 'close behind' list. The only question is, with four 2025 recruits, how will they be under the proposed roster limit of nine? Alabama remains in our top 4 as Andrew Hinson has returned to competitive play and has played solidly at open AJGAs. Texas moves ahead of Princeton, as Brandler has been the one consistent player in the Tigers' group this season. UNC Chapel Hill joins our top-10 as their 2nd recruit, Mack Edwards, has improved his play and ranking, especially at the US Junior. UCLA moves down to #10, as Loree has not had as much success in 2024 as in 2023. Georgia and TCU drop out of our top 10, but are close on the heels of BYU and UCLA.

8/30 We're getting close to our final recruiting class rankings on signing day, and we've been looking closely at the 2nd and 3rd recruits' performance on each of the teams. Texas has moved into the #4 spot, as both recruits are within the top 15 of individual rankings and have had a solid season. The top three teams have solidified their spots before signing day, and we don't expect their rankings to change. Numbers 5-8 are all similar with one top-10 recruit and a solid supporting golfer, and these four teams could move around easily in the next two months. Princeton remains at #9, as Zhao has slipped in the rankings this year, but Brandler's game is much better than his ranking. After analyzing our 'close behind' teams, we moved Notre Dame to the #10 spot, as the Irish have two solid top-30 players and a third who plays better than his JGS ranking indicates. The last spot may come down to Notre Dame, Georgia, and UCLA at the time of signing day.

10/13 Oklahoma State vaults into our top-10 and clocks in at #4 with the re-classing and addition of Henry Guan to this class. Guan is our #1 recruit and will be joined by top-50 recruit Jaxon Bandelier.

10/16 The news of the day was the surprise commitment switch of top-10 recruit Chase Kyes from Alabama to Tennessee. Alabama drops out of the rankings, and Tennessee leaps into the Tide's previous spot at #6. Kyes' future Vol teammate, Canadian Luke Smith, is a top-50 recruit whose talent is better than his current JGS ranking.
