CollegeGymFans.com Ranking of 2009-2010 Recruiting Classes
For the past several seasons, we have made an assessment of each incoming recruiting class and have provided a ranking. This year, the task proved to be especially tough. Today, there is much greater access to information on the athletes, their skill level, level of polish, and of course, their accomplishments, so we cannot rank an athlete merely on her resume alone. The athletes’ college choices also reflect increased parity, making the job of ranking the Top 10 Recruiting Classes quite difficult.
UGA Tops Women's Preseason Poll
Georgia tops the Women's Preseason Coaches Poll, pulling down 13 first place votes. Utah was 2nd, with six first place votes. Bama was third, but 8 voters rated them #1. Florida, in 4th, and UCLA, in 5th, each pulled down two first place votes. LSU, Stanford, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Oregon State made up places 6 through 10. For the rest of the Top 25, keep on reading...

Men's Newcomers 2009
This list contains gymnasts who are Newcomers for the 2008-2009 season. As always, corrections are welcomed and encouraged.
Items in italics will be considered verbal commit "rumors", until a signing or intent to attend is publicly confirmed. However, many of these "rumors" may have actually been submitted by the gymnast, their family, or club. For consistency, the site will continue to be updated as information becomes public. Where available, links are provided to press releases, web sites, and newspaper articles. Please note due to NCAA regulations, we are unable to confirm a commit directly with the source nor with the college.
Please see the FAQ section of this site for a further explanation of the policies for this site.

2010 Capsule Previews
|
Season Preview Capsules With the retirement of UGA legend Suzanne Yoculan and the graduation of her dominant star, Courtney Kupets, can new Head Coach Jay Clark lead the GymDogs to their sixth straight title? With the loss of some iconic athletes, many teams across the country, not just Georgia, will be looking to fill some big shoes. But Georgia loses a potent 1-2 punch in Kupets and Tiffany Tolnay, and there any number of teams looking to break their stranglehold on the title. But the Clark-led squad boasts some very talented newcomers, who once they adjust, will make UGA a force once again. Last year's runnerup, Alabama, will be looking to take that step up. With their frosh stars having another year of experience, and plenty of depth in the roster, they will be set to challenge. Also in the mix is Utah, despite the loss of stars Kristina Baskett and Nina Kim. Host squad Florida has been amassing some impressive recruiting class but have been lacking in depth to weather injuries. The graduation of Corey Hartung and the possible loss of Melanie Sinclair deal a big blow to this talented, but young squad. There was the threat of a game-changing rule change this season -- the six up, six count system -- but that was put off for a later season. Instead of a major rule change, there will be small changes in the NCAA Code Modifications. This is the code by which all routines are evaluated. Post-Olympics, the age-group code that the NCAA Code is based upon usually changes in a dramatic fashion. However, this time theNCAA changes are relatively minor. The single biggest change is the devaluation of the ever-popular straddle jump on balance beam. This single skill value change has caused some new leap series and combinations to be developed this fall. As the fall progresses, these tables will be updated with the latest information, links and updates. Later in the fall, we will be adding in-depth previews. If you have additional updates or corrections, please submit them using the link above. |
Key to the Tables: Ranking: By 2010 Preseason Coaches' Poll ranking Coaches: Only regular, paid coaches are listed. Starting Routines: Defined by starting lineup in last meet of the post season. Fr = Freshman Status Codes for Returners: I = major season ending injury in 2009 S = Under suspension |

About this List: This list contains gymnasts who have publicly committed to Division I & II schools for the 2011-2012 season. The Recruitables section contains a partial listing of athletes believed to be eligible for signing. These athletes will sign in November 2010 or the Spring of 2011 for entry into college in the Fall of 2011. Nearly all will graduate high school in the Spring of 2011. As always, corrections are welcomed and encouraged.
Important Definitions: Items in italics will be considered verbal commit "rumors", until a signing or intent to attend is publicly confirmed. However, many of these "rumors" may have actually been submitted by the gymnast, their family, or club. For consistency, the site will continue to be updated as information becomes public. Where available, links are provided to press releases, web sites, and newspaper articles. Please note due to NCAA regulations, we are unable to confirm a commit directly with the athlete. However, the athlete is free to publicly state their intentions. The college may only confirm the signing after the National Letter of Intent has been received. Information on recruiting dates, calendars and rules are available in FAQ section of this site.
Scholarships and Estimates: Those items in bold represent counts supplied by the school during our annual survey or subsequent update. An estimate of the number of scholarships available for each school with no survey response or a CollegeGymFans.com revision are in in italics. All estimates of remaining scholarships are unofficial estimates by CollegeGymFans.com.
Other Policies:
Please see the FAQ section of this site for a further explanation of the policies for this site.
Please note some colleges listed below do not offer non-need based aid or do so only on a limited basis. Some colleges offer partials, and others have other non-athletic scholarships available. Only Div I and II colleges are listed. Please see the Recruitables section after May 1st, 2011, for information on Div III commits.
Walkons will only be listed until after May 1st of each recruiting year, unless a confirmation is received and only then the athlete's name will still remain italicized. Please note that walkon status is not always known, even when rosters are published. Also, some schools do not finalize rosters until after Fall training has begun. Also, an intended walkon may change her plans.
COACHES: You may submit a "total" scholarship count to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or FAX a statement on official letterhead to (415) 873-1523. The 2010 Survey will be sent out in June.
