10/16 It's been an exciting few days after multiple commitments from top players were announced, adding two new teams to our top-10. Tennessee enters at #3 on our list after our #2 ranked recruit Tyler Watts announced his future home, followed by top-30 recruit Pennson Badgett the next day. Not to be outdone, Alabama received their 2nd commitment in this class by top-10 recruit Phillip Dunham. He joins Bailey Sutter, who has quietly slid into the top-15 of the JGS rankings after a consistent season. Oklahoma clocks in at #8 as they picked up their second commitment in Max Emberson, a Californian who is #23 in the JGS rankings. He joins a formidable teammate in #11 Coltrane Mittag.

10/19: Auburn enters our top-10 list at #8, as they picked up their 2nd verbal commitment in this class from Indiana's Alex Holder, who is just working his way into national competition after a solid performance at the US Junior. The Tigers' top recruit is top-15 JGS ranked Smith Summerlin, who has several years of elite competitive results.

10/25 UNC Chapel Hill enters our top 10 list with their second commitment of this class, Preston Hage. He joins Asher Vargas, who has had a strong summer and sits just out of our top-10 individual list. After calculating our new individual rankings, we realized that we didn't give Pepperdine's athletes enough credit (yes, our bad), and we moved the Waves up to #8 on our list, just ahead of UNC at #9.

11/16 Virgina enters the top 10 at #6 with the commitment of Hugo Le Goff of France, who is 160th in WAGR rankings. The Cavaliers are making this an international class, as Le Goff joins Canadian Jager Pain, currently 28th in JGS. Auburn drops out of the top-10.
