Big Ten Gymnasts to Watch -- A pair of Wolverine freshmen have been named Big Ten Gymnasts to Watch prior to the 2018 season in Cameron Bock and Jacob Moore. Bock, who joins the U-M program as the No. 1 recruit in the country according to several services, is the 2016 Junior Olympic champion on parallel bars and high bar and also took third in the all-around competition. He spent last season training at the United States Olympic Training Center and competed at the senior level of this past season's P&G Championships against the top gymnasts in the country.
