Not a bad list. Why is Derek Hsue's name on there twice, at 7 and 19? A couple big mistakes include Arhum Saleem and Anders Larson should be higher, both around 10. Will Kurth should be lower near 25.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThank you for noticing our mistake about Derek. We fixed it and moved everyone up a spot.
Thank you for your feedback on the other players as well.
Yours in squash,
Squash Ezine
This is a horrible list. There are quite a number of 2019ers, and 2017ers. This appears to be pulled directly from the US junior rankings, and would not be indicative of actual recruitment value. This is thoughtless filler content.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very poorly constructed list. Maybe with a little more thought and research, these outrageous errors might have been prevented. This makes me question the credibility of your blog.
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty accurate list I think. Shows potential as well as upward trend of rankings. Well done
ReplyDeleteyou got the first two correct. After that this is probably one of the worst put together lists I have ever seen. Please do some research before you post crap like this
ReplyDeleteThe list is good. Like all lists of this kind, it can be debated.
ReplyDeleteIgnore the angry parent(s) writing these comments. The worst part of junior squash is enduring the behavior of 'adults.'
pretty accurate. There are a few that I would debate, but overall, I'd say a really well done job.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the list for top 100 Junior Girls???????
ReplyDeleteSame thing I said,. I guess great minds think alike.
DeleteIt's cool somebody made a list like this but this is just humorously wrong. The only spot that is right is the #1 spot and I'm pretty sure he's a class of 2017. If you had checked results of any of the players you would've realized this. For the sake of your blog you should probably just take this down.
ReplyDeleteNope, Khan is old for his year, but he is a junior this year and class of 2018. And this list could use some improvement, they should release a revised list.
DeleteThis is a revised list that I feel is better.

Deleteand why are pierson and zane so high...especially when max martin beat pierson in the nationals
Deleteand why is anders larson so low
DeleteThis is an embarrassment to junior squash players that have worked really hard all season. The rankings are already on U.S. Squash and stand for themselves. What is the purpose of this?
ReplyDeleteOne simply cannot compare 17's to 19's. It is like comparing apples to oranges. To say James Watson, Cody Cortes, or Jordan Brail have more recruiting potential than Thomas Kingshott, Max Martin, and Anders Larson is a disgrace. If the 17's players wanted to prove themselves as top junior players, they would be playing in the 19s.
You are 100% right. And Hsue too. He's been competing against 15 year-old. Sure, he won Nationals, but he beat James Watson!
DeleteOk I have edited this list to a more accurate one.

you guys should definitely post these lists every few weeks since players like me are aging up a little bit late since they are young juniors. otherwise, seems like a decent list but shouldn't be solely based on rankings, but also rating and individual matches.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you do a list of who has been recruited to which schools? It's just about done for the Ivies...
ReplyDeleteWhere is the class of 2019? You should put that up soon
