Comment: Article created 2 days ago.  Rahkman is a freshman and relatively new as a starter.  This article was created on the early end of the spectrum, and the coverage will likely increase as his career progresses.  However, he already appears to have enough significant coverage (''i.e.'', stories focused on him rather than passing mentions in game coverage) in reliable, mainstream media outlets to satisfy .
