Notice Lance Thompson didn't make the list without CNS to close for him. Now at UT he is not even the best recruiter on their staff.

The link below not only has the Top 25 recruiters story it has links to a whole lot of other recruiting articles.

	Kirby Smart, Alabama Smart, the Crimson Tide's defensive coordinator, is a young and aggressive recruiter who is one of Nick Saban's best. The former Georgia standout has had perhaps the most impressive run of any recruiter in the country during this recruiting cycle, with eight current commits, including the nation's No. 2 cornerback, Under Armour All-American Demarcus Milliner (Millbrook, Ala./Stanhope Elmore). . Smart is known for his work ethic and the way he relates to prospects. The Bainbridge, Ga., native also has helped the Tide become a bigger factor with prospects from the talent-rich Peach State.

	Picking the best recruiting closers in the SEC is like picking the best of Michael Jordan’s highlights. How do you pick just five? Here goes my best college try: 1. Nick Saban, Alabama head coach: Nobody has recruiting down to a science the way Saban does. He leaves no stone unturned and knows every detail about every single prospect the Crimson Tide are recruiting. Look at his last two recruiting classes at Alabama. His handprints are all over them. When Saban gets into the living room with a recruit and his family, rarely does he come in second.
