Rivals Rankings Week: Top 10 for class of 2019 revealed

[Russ Wood]

Six days ago we began working on rankings updates and yesterday Rivals.com revealed the new Top-10 for the class of 2019.

​

The complete class of 2019 Rivals150 update will be released today.

Thursday Rivals will release the Top-10 for the class of 2020 and Friday is targeted for an update, and expansion to Top-125 for the 2020 class. Although, based on two of the first three emails I received this morning we may expand the class of 2022 the full 150.

I'm personally against going to 150 now but I think I'll be outvoted.

Btw, in case someone was wondering, since Hyatt has not officially reclassified to the 2018 class, he will appear in the class of 2019 rankings update.

What type of consideration is there for current play vs projection into their freshman/sophomore year in college??

There is always some back-and-fourth about where we see guys down the road in college. It can be a pretty robust discussion at times (class of 2019 guys I'm talking about). In fact I think this update was the most robust, if you feel me.

Eric Bossi and Corey Evans are really, really good at that part of the evaluation. I try to learn from them. In fact I used some of the things I learned from them to fight for a kid in the Midwest in the 2020 class. I can't wait to see the final version to find out where he is ranked.
