6/6 Vanderbilt and Georgia continue to solidify their spots at #1 and #2, and Tennessee is a solid #3 as Pennson Badgett has started to improve his consistency. Phillip Dunham has showed strong play as of late and keeps Alabama in the #4 spot. Virginia has moved up one spot to #5, as Hugo Le Goff has rised to the top 75 in WAGR, and Jager Pain has started off 2025 with steady play. We are keeping an eye on BYU, as Drake Harvey has had some solid finishes in the past month and could challenge Texas for the #10 spot. We've added TCU to our watch list with the addition of Cameron Kuchar's verbal commitment. Look for some movement in our top-10 in June-August.

3/30: Due to the recent play of UNC's Preston Hage, the Tarheels move up to the 5th spot, while Texas drops to #10. Arizona State enters the top 10 at #8, with the improved play of Oscar Couilleau and an addition of their 4th recruit in the top 800 in WAGR.

2/2: The only addition to our current list of teams is Hampton Beebe, who re-classed from 2027 to 2026 and committed to Auburn. There have been no tournaments that have affected individual rankings, thus no changes to team rankings.

12/27: It's been quiet on the 2026 commitment front, and now that Blades Brown is turning pro, there may not be many shakeups in the rankings. Changes in rankings in 2025 will occur according to the performance of current commits.
