CINCINNATI — Our Rankings Risers series is reserved for the rarest of circumstances. It’s not just about seeing a player who we know is going to go up in the next rankings. It’s about seeing a player whose jump is so obvious and so glaring, that it just can’t wait.
It’s also not the product of a single evaluation. It requires multiple members of the staff to view the prospect’s trajectory with the same undeniable trajectory that warrants immediate action.
So far this spring, it’s only happened twice, and once in the class of 2027. Now, it will happen for the second time. That’s because King Rachal will debut in the national rankings, inside the top 50.
