Mustard, you seem to know pretty well the WCT history.How comes that, in the star studded croop of the 1970´s, Hunt and his team signed unknown guys like Edlefsen,Barth or Leonard?, I mean, were they NCAA champions or something like that?

That seemed a very curious decision when I think of the first WCT tours, led by the likes of Ken Rosewall and Rod Laver.
