9/1 It's honestly hard to rank the top 3 teams, as they are all outstanding and miles ahead of the rest. Georgia has moved up to the #1 spot, not only because of Mason Howell's US Amateur win & other accomplishments, but the improvement in Hamilton Coleman and Drew Woolworth. Coleman won the US Junior & is showing some improved consistency, while Woolworth has risen to #12 in the JGS rankings. Having a strong third recruit gives UGA the edge over Vanderbilt and Tennessee at the moment. Virginia moves up to the 4th position due to the improvement of their 2nd recruit, Jager Pain, who has had some fine finishes in 2025. Arizona State top recruit, Oscar Couilleau, won the Monroe Invitational and leads a supporting cast of three others to move up to #7. Pepperdine replaces Texas at the #10 spot, as they re-enter the top-10. Cal Berkeley joins our team to watch.

6/29 Tennessee flip flops with Georgia into the #2 spot, as Tyler Watts has been on a tear and Pennson Badgett enters our top-10 individual rankings. Mason Howell of UGA continues his strong play to keep the Bulldogs in the top-3.

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.
