USA and CAN Alternates/Next Up Ranking 2025-26

[haribobo]

I wanted to start a thread to name/honor the skaters who could or should be next up for GP spots, Senior B spots, and JGP spots. This is a bit complicated to do which is also what makes it fun. I feel this is important because some skaters will achieve a high score in the summer but for whatever reason do not always get an assignment, but I think they deserve more recognition for that. I am planning to use scores from this season and compare to last season's top scores, but I may mention other top skaters who have not yet competed if it seems appropriate. I am bringing the GP alternates list into play since that has some effect on this list as well.
