Survey: Top Recruiting Assistant

Last year, we started the tradition of surveying college assistant coaches around the country. We asked them to questions ranging from national coach of the year to whom the best assistants in the business are. This week, we’ll release the results from a survey of over 40 coaches. Here are the results in the category of “Top Recruiting Assistant.”

Assistant coaches were asked to vote for two of their peers they considered to be the best in the business at recruiting. Voters could not select members of their own staff
