TennisRecruiting.net pegs Gar‑ diner as the No. 120 player in the nation.

Tom Swanson, golf: A multi-sport athlete from Missoula, Mont., Swan‑ son played football and golf for Loyola Sacred Heart. On the fair‑ ways, he led his high school to four straight state championships from 2009-12. Swanson also won three consecutive MHSAA Class B indi‑ vidual titles, with the latest coming in impressive fashion this past May when he shot a two-round, 3-underpar 141 (his nearest competitor was 11 strokes behind him). The National Junior Golf Scorecard rated him No. 48 nationally.

Golf: Michigan inked only three recruits, but the small class' size is belied by the great talent within. Reed Hyrnewich is a sharp-shooting lefty from Muskegon, Mich., and he was incredibly accomplished at the high school level. Golfweek.com named him its No. 87 player in the nation.
