Not a ton of movement at the top this week with the top seven remaining completely unchanged. Sean McGinnis was one of the biggest movers this week, jumping from 48th to 27th. Matt D'Aquila is the highest ranked new addition to the list at 35th. There are now three sophomores in the top 30 on the list which is more along the lines of what I was hoping for at this time of year. I'm expecting a few more to cheat up into the mix and guys like Morgan Cupp, Tristan Forsythe, etc. have been up and around the list this year which makes me feel better. I think with just two independents on the list, that group is likely underrepresented in the rankings. I just don't have a great read on that league's development at this stage in the game. District One still has a strong hold on the rankings with 18 of the 50 spots belonging to D1 AAA. District 7 has 11 runners across various divisions and District 3 has 8.
