Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 17 Straight B1G Titles)

Guess this proves the old adage, "if you cannot beat them, join them". Since tOSU tennis guys were very senior laden, this might bridge the gap between the old and new. Gracel, might you know/show the recruits (by year), and maybe rankings? Would very much like to see how the overall team shapes up for next year. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Gracel, this is good stuff to know. Yeah, looks like some holes may have been filled. Not certain (at all) what the WTN ground zero/basis would be, but would I be safe in saying that the college players have earned their ranking/rating against college competition, and the freshmen have earned theirs against HS kids? That might account for the disparity between the 'oldies' and the 'newbies'. Just asking....the UTR's seem to be more consistent. How many from New Albany?

Its not just JJ Wolf who got his training in the tennis factory at the Ty Tucker center in Columbus.
Big game James, won the finals in both singles and doubles on the challenger tour today.
Trotter was developed by Coach Ty Tucker, graduated in '23 and is cashing some major paychecks on the pro tour.
