    Yep for a lot of the big Division I schools, coaches will travel quite extensively to junior tournaments- all the Grand Slams, Eddie Herr, Orange Bowl, USTA national events, Junior European championships, etc. These trips are actually in the recruiting budget. It's also important to build up a network of contacts who can recommend junior players who can't afford to play international tournaments. This is why coaches who are from abroad will have a leg up recruiting in their home countries. Ever wonder how Joffe (a former South African national coach) was able to get Poluta so quickly after he was hired so late? Also, Christian mentioned on how important that Soren had played at UT before. For the smaller schools, coaches use recruiting services to scout players. There's a whole section of YouTube with endless amounts of internationals showing clips of their games.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't King also a walk-on? I thought she was on some kind of an ROTC scholarship.

    Anna advances beating Whittle of Gonzaga. Whittle is no slouch- 8th seeded, won the ITA national championships in the fall, and was ranked number one for the early part of the year

    Great video recap of the journey- good crown, you can see the Turati twins in multiple parts cheering the team on, I also believe that Daniella Roldan (played two years before transferring) was also cheering the team at 0:14

    High school state tournament was last week: Future walk-on Gabby Cusano won the 6A doubles title. Other results with UT ties: Avery Zavala (brother of 2010 grad Josh Zavala) made the singles semis, unable to defend his 6A title from last year Kiana Graham (sister of recent soccer grad Nakia Graham) made the mixed 6A finals beating Keegan McCain (UTSA signee and daughter of former coach Patty Fendick McCain) in the semis

    Haha emphasis of 'ALL'. Roditi was a pretty good assistant when he was at Texas from 2000-2002. Instrumental in recruiting Antonio Ruiz (who went on to transfer to Georgia and win an NCAA doubles title after Roditi left). Also think he had a hand in getting Diaz Barraga and Miguel Angeles Reyes-Varela (currently top 80 in the world for doubles). Though it's hard to say 'no' to Berque right now. And I'm leaning towards Berque being hired right now.. Berque's best players at Michigan were Jason Jung and Evan King, and that was about it- not enough high quality players to hang with conference power Illinois. He was able to sign Cameron Norrie before he got fired (thus leaving Norrie free to go to TCU).

    LOL I think I could hear the Turatis cheering the men's team on today through the broadcast

    I actually like Sam Gore when he does volleyball.

    Just that I can show my receipts. He had only 1 Final Four team correct. NCAA tennis suffers when people like these are the public faces for the sport.

    Unfortunately these Tennis Channel announces know jack squat about the NCAA Watched the whole OSU vs. North carolina match and the whole time the male announcer (I assume Andy Katz) kept getting the winner's next opponent wrong. The lady announcer also pronounced Andre Agassi wrong. Plus if you looked at the 'expert' Andy Katz's draw, he had Texas losing in the round of 32 to Alabama. Laughably moronic. Anyways...great to see Telles, Markes, Goodwin, and Banzer end their career on this high note Wonder how much emotional energy Ito, Christian, and Scott will have for their individual tournaments (historically the winning team has a bad performance in the individuals)

    Wake Forest has a good number one and number two player but their bottom part of the lineup is a bit weaker - Scott, Markes, and Banzer must pull through
  12. Aleemay
    Twitter and the Universal Tennis Ratings favor Florida. Going to be a tough match. Hook 'em!

    Yeah...crowd does factor in. Several years ago, Big 12 decided to allow fans to cheer during the point- don't know if that rule is still in effect

    Harrison makes it 4!

    Yuya ran away with it in the second set. Stood his ground and constantly hit precise passing shots. One more to go!
  18. Aleemay
    Banzer wins for Point 2. Has been really solid at 6 since being swapped in mid season.
  19. Aleemay
    Nothing much from what I've heard. The only thing is that Roditi has been retweeting or replying to some of the Texas tennis twitter posts (to be fair, I haven't paid much attention to twitter before so this might be the norm for him)
  20. Aleemay
    Won the dubs point! Second line was also at match point. Makes singles a bit easier. As Berque said in his press conference, Markes should be playing the same guy as last year. If Texas were to advance, they'll face the winner of Mississippi State and TCU. TCU currently up 1-0.
  21. Aleemay
    Correct-if they were to advance, team would be going to Lake Nona in Florida (also where the individual tournament will be held) Either way, expect CDC to be there to scout for the new HC

    For those that haven't been following the collapse of the Oregon roster- 1 pitcher quit midseason. This left only one scholarship pitcher along with a walk-on. Last week, two starters collided on a fly ball. Both are now out due to concussion symptoms. Today against Utah, another infielder got injured. The result: Some infielders are now pitching and the walk on catcher is now playing outfield (unfortunately also making fielding errors).
  23. Aleemay
    hmmm...I guess it depends on how you slice it. As I mentioned earlier with how tough the regional was, Texas vs. A&M vs. Rice regional would never have happened in a sport like basketball where priority is given to balancing out the draw. A&M beat Vanderbilt this year (which they'll face in the next round) whereas UNLV did not beat a single tournament team this year until yesterday.
  24. Aleemay
    Actually, I would think UNLV (ranked 76) beating Tech (ranked 26) is the biggest upset.

    Four singles wins. Cal just upset Illinois Texas beat Cal last year 4-0 and Cal graduated its top 2 players from last year's team. Ideal draw to the Elite Eight. Need to take advantage.
