I don't make a habit of following tennis but I came across this today and it certainly sounds like we're recruiting at a high level as Kumar is mentioned as our second 5-star recruit in the '22 class.

Five-star recruit Ekansh Kumar (UTR 11.89 / #39 in the class of 2022 / #2 in Virginia @TennisRecNet) has verbally committed to @IndianaMTennis. The 18-year-old has an ITF juniors career-high ranking of #151, winning five doubles titles. Second 5-star '22 recruit for the Hoosiers.
