Who are the top 10 [recruiters]:

Best college recruiters?

Some recruiters seem to ALWAYS land big time kids and help build programs. Please feel free to add to the list and in a few days we can have a poll to see if we (as a community) can sort out the top 10 "current" best recruiters.

Here a few to start with:

Jill Wilson - LSU
Greg Whitis - Arizona
Eve Rackham - UNC

Each of these coaches recruit top kids year after year and are not at TOP schools like Stanford, Wash, PSU, Texas

I know she's with psu, but heard Salima Rockwell is very good recruiter

Why does Greg Whitis keep changing jobs?

Im guessing at first he was climbing the ladder. As for Tenn who knows but the one thing no one can contest is that he makes programs win!!!

I don't know. Seems like a lot of lateral moves. And a LOT of moves.

What's the criteria for this? How can you tell if a coach is a good recruiter or if the head coach is the one doing the job?

Well the proven best over the past 8 years would be Kaleena and Dennis. Both have moved on but pretty sure all the recent 6 National Championships of PSU were recruited and committed while one or both of them were there.

Ultimately it is the big guy in the corner room that makes the decision and call but it is pretty clear they were two of the best helping in PSU's run.

Good point. It will certainly be subjective. To back you, add Tom Hilbert and Ed Allen to the list. Ed got Micha Hancock to Tulsa!

I only ask because I don't know if it's Eve getting recruits to UNC or Joe. Regardless, I don't see them landing any recruits that were really big names. I see them more as the program that gets good players and makes them better.

Also consider small schools like Ohio...Ryan Theis killed it during his tenure.

Basically it's just another question of who your favorite coach is.

None of these people know what goes on in recruiting conversations with recruits.

I am actually a D1 coach in a power 5 conference...I do have a clue and some of the people I posted I'm not a fan of but, if they can recruit then they should be on the list. It's not about popularity or favorite coach. It's all about if they are good or not.

Thought I heard those 4peat teams was while Rockwell was there. She recruited a lot of those players

What about Pete Waite?
