The Tennis Recruiting Network returns with another set of recruiting class rankings.

The spring/summer signing period will last until the beginning of August, and there will certainly be more commitments. But the majority of top American college-bound seniors have already announced their decisions - and we also have commitments from more than a hundred top international kids. The top recruiting classes are unlikely to change much this summer.

Today, the Tennis Recruiting Network is excited to present the Top 25 Women's Recruiting Classes for 2009.

Media Poll

A panel of junior tennis experts has once again volunteered to help us determine the top classes. Journalists, tournament directors, referees, and ranking chairmen from across the country have taken the time to vote on these recruiting classes. The panelists for this list are shown later in the article.

Each panelist submitted his/her list of the Top 25 recruiting classes. Schools received 25 points for each first-place vote, 24 points for each second-place vote, on down to 1 point for each 25th-place vote. Because data for transfer students is so hard to come by, we asked the panelists to not consider transfer students in the voting process.
