Georgia's top recruiter

On this week where recruiting takes on its biggest focus, a member of the Georgia staff has been recognized as one of the best in the nation. And that staff member works for ... the gymnastics team.

Jay Clark, in his second year leading the Georgia gymnastics program, was rated ninth in the nation by ESPNU/ESPN the Magazine. Clark (bio here), who was a longtime assistant to Suzanne Yoculan, is on the list alongside the likes of Ed Orgeron, Mike Krzyzewski and John Calipari.

Obviously it's not the most scientific ranking, but still kind of a cool thing for Clark. (I also realize that by using the above headline, and not specifying the sport, I tricked a number of you into thinking it was about football or Ray Drew. Yeah, I know.)

Here's the full ranking:

1. Pat Henry, Texas A&M men's and women's cross-country, indoor and outdoor track
2. Anson Dorrance, UNC women's soccer
3. Ed Orgeron, USC football assistant
4. Chris Dailey, UConn women's basketball assistant
5. Missy Meharg, Maryland field hockey
6. Mike Krzyzewski, Duke men's hoops
7. Russ Rose, PSU women's volleyball
8. Burton Burns, Alabama football assistant
9. Jay Clark, Georgia gymnastics
10. Chad Holbrook, South Carolina baseball assistant
11. Dan Jordan, Alaska rifle
12. John Calipari, Kentucky men's basketball
13. Mike McGraw, Oklahoma State men's golf
14. Jovan Vavic, USC men's and women's water polo
15. Thad Matta, Ohio State men's hoops
16. Kelly Inouye-Perez, UCLA softball
17. Mike LoPresti, Fairleigh Dickinson women's bowling
18. Tosh Lupoi, Cal football assistant
19. Kelly Amonte Hiller, Northwestern women's lacrosse
20. J Robinson, Minnesota wrestling

I always wondered how Alaska rifle got all the top talent...

+1 Steve. Well played.

This, however, is clearly of less interest than Alaska rifle.
