The Tennis Recruiting Network has released its winter edition of the 2022 men's recruiting class rankings, with the Stanford men's class, consisting of Samir Banerjee and Nishesh Basavareddy finishing in the No. 1 position. Columbia is a close second, followed by Princeton, Ohio State and Michigan State. Six through 10 are Michigan, Notre Dame, UCLA, Yale and Georgia. The ACC and SEC have only one school each in the Top 10, while the Ivy League and Big Ten have three and the Pac-12 two. For the complete list, as well as the names of the voters (including me), see this article.  The women's rankings will come out next week.
