CollegeGymFans.com Top Recruiting Classes of 2022-2023
This year's recruiting class features sets of recruits both large and small, and packed with talent. The discrepancies in size between the classes presents a challenge when rating classes. A large class could easily rise up in the rankings, without considering the disproportionate impact of key high scoring gymnasts. The aftereffects of the extra COVID years is still impacting the size of the classes and the new opportunities with Name Image and Likeness (NIL) may be starting to influence recruiting choices. This is also perhaps one of the last classes where many of the commits were made quite early. At least one gymnast in this class committed to her college when she was just 13. Let's see how all the top teams stack up in the 2022-2023 edition of our annual look at the Top 10 Recruiting Classes.

Auburn rounded out the top 5.
CollegeGymFans.com Recruit Ratings Released
We are introducing a new feature to the site, replacing the former Recruitables Database we used to have in place. We are now releasing ratings of the top recruits in the Class of 2022 (this year's frosh) and the Class of 2023 (the next incoming class). The 2024 list will be published in the spring. We have introduced a rating system that uses the same objective criteria as our annual recruiting class rankings, but encoded in a set o rules that assigns star ratings to clusters of gymnasts. The full explanation is here or available from the top menu bar, under Recruits --> Recruit Ratings.
