The spring college tennis season is about to begin in earnest, and there are many exciting things going on this year. In addition to the ITA Kick-Off Weekend that just wrapped up around the country this past weekend, the ITA Women's and Men's National Indoors are coming up over the next couple of weeks at Yale and Virginia, respectively. And that says nothing about the launch of College MatchDay at the USTA National Campus and the upcoming USTA NCAA Division I College Poll.

Amidst all of this excitement, late January is also the time we check in on college recruiting for next season. Many high school seniors signed their NLIs in November - and more are making verbal commitments every week as we move towards the spring. In all, there are more than 850 seniors (boys, girls) on our commitment lists.

With so many players committing, this is a great time to check in on the various programs. Who has the best recruiting class? And how is your favorite school doing on the recruiting trail? We invited our panel of voters - national tournament directors, members of the media, and other experts - to give us their take on the top recruiting classes in college tennis.

Today, January 30, 2017, the Tennis Recruiting Network takes a look at the top men's classes. We present the Winter Recruiting Class Rankings for the Class of 2017.

Media Poll

As we have for the past twelve years, Tennis Recruiting has enlisted the aid of junior tennis experts from around the country to vote for the top classes. We list the panelists for this voting period below.

Each of our panelists submitted his/her take on 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. The panelists did not consider incoming transfer students in their voting - and they also did not consider players starting college this January.
