We knew Stanford had the top recruiting class, with 3 of the top 5 players in the class. But today we learned that for the first time in history, there is a unanimous top recruiting class as picked by the panel at Tennis Recruiting Network (goes back to 2006).

Included is a quote from Lele expressing her excitement about all three players (Ma, Yepifanova, and Xu), which as far as I know is the first time she's publicly confirmed Xu's presence in the class. On Signing Day, Stanford announced Ma and Yepifanova, but not Xu, which I assumed was because of scholarship limitations. But presumably Xu is either paying her own way a year or Lele is anticipating having an extra scholarship for next year. Either way, it's an absurd coup of a class, and the absurdity reaches new heights when you have a top 5 player in the class paying her own way for a year. Just nuts.
