Michigan basketball commit Derrick Walton is on the rise, according to one national recruiting site.

Fellow 2013 pledge Zak Irvin, however, is not.

Walton, a 6-foot, 175-pound point guard from Harper Woods Chandler Park Academy, was rated as the 48th-best player in Scout.com's most recent Top 100 for 2013 ranking. The four-star point guard is listed as the 10th-best lead guard in the class.

Irvin, rated as the 63rd-best prospect -- and highest-rated Michigan pledge -- in Rivals.com's 2013 rankings, does not appear on Scout.com's Top 100 list.

The 6-foot-6, 180-pound Irvin -- a former high school teammate of 2012 Michigan State signee Gary Harris -- is presently rated as a three-star prospect by Scout.com and is the 24th-best small forward in the class.

Another 2013 Wolverine commit made a jump in Scout's eyes.

Mark Donnal, a 6-foot-9, 215-pound power forward from Wayne (Ohio) High School, is rated as a four-star prospect by Scout.com and sits at No. 80 in the site's top 100.
