Sports Illustrated is in the process of revealing a bunch of the 2015 rookies for this year’s SI Swimsuit Issue. When one considers how Sports Illustrated has routinely knocked it out of the park when it comes to selecting new models to highlight every year, this is pretty exciting stuff (for reasons beyond the obvious).

In celebration of this year’s rookie class, we’ve taken the pleasure of looking back over the last decade and selecting the best rookie from each of the last ten years. Just remember, there are really no wrong answers here.
