Found this on Reddit. It's a few years old. But profs probably don't move around much for tenure reasons. You'll probably want to talk to them to see who is best for you. There really is no "best".

Richard Hawkins at Oberlin is probably the best teacher in the nation for undergrad studies.

Richie Hawley at Rice University. His students get jobs. All you need to know.

Yehuda Gilad at University of Southern Califorina. His students also get jobs.

Michael Wayne at New England Conservatory. I took a lesson with him and found his explanations very thorough and easy to understand. A very insightful teacher who taught me a lot in a very short time.

I've never met or worked with James Campbell, but Howard Klug and Eli Eban are both wonderful teachers.

Ron Aufmann at University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (I'm doing my masters with him next year)

University of Michigan with Dan Gilbert and Chad Burrow. I've met with Chad, and he's an excellent player. Dan seems a bit out there from what I've heard, but he has an excellent reputation as a teacher as well.

Phil Paglialonga at University of North Texas. I did my undergraduate with him when he was at Virginia Tech, but he's moving there next year. He's a bit of a hidden gem, but he really put VT on the map for clarinet and I think he's going to continue to do great work at UNT.

Joseph Eller at University of South Carolina. I know him only by reputation, but I've heard nothing but positive things.

Deborah Chodacki at Louisiana State University. I have taken two lessons with her, and she is the kindest and most considerate person I have ever met, but still has precise explanations and does not hold back in her criticisms. I actually wanted to study with her for grad school, but CCM gave me a better scholarship offer. She said they have more scholarship money available for undergraduates.
