Losing Andersen definitely hurt, especially when you lose Corrie and Damico at the same time. Center is s good coach, he gets the job done.

Mladenov transferred to St. John's

I know that there have been Koreans doing well in 12s & 14s recently. Is there a pipeline of 19 y/o Koreans going to other universities & making an impact?

& regarding India....UT used their one (& only) scholarship last year for an Indian (from India) who was a bust. With probably 20% of all SuperChamps in TX being second generation Indian (& 40% total being second generation Asian)....like Chen.....not sure why the bevos need to go abroad.

Wouldn't it just be easier to tell the top 10 Indian & Asian SCMZ 8th graders to repeat a grade if we wanted 19 or 20 y/o freshman Asians (who are older & tougher than their 18 y/o counterparts & just as tough as any 19 y/o from India or S. Korea)?

Ever been to Austin?

& fwiw......40% of my kid's HS is Asian.

So what is it about a "San Francisco lifestyle" that would attract a tennis athlete.

Austin Future
Ben "bicycle" Chen gets beat by Ed Corrie 6-0 6-0. This is a sad result. Corrie playing well out of school. Corrie was a weak #1 last year even at 2 he lost a lot. But he can still whip his former teammates

. Olesen almost beat Zavala, which is somewhat encouraging. But Olesen should be playing 5 or 6 but because of our weak line-up he will play over his head at 3.

Saw Mladenov won the his ITA Regional so he advances to the Indoors.

Texas blue chip recruit Mitchell Krueger has narrowed his choices to Oklahoma, TCU, and Texas A&M. Not good news for Texas.

After seeing his behavior on-court against Tulsa in the NCAA team tourney, I wasn't AS heartbroken. He was just too immature as far as I could tell.

His Dad played for A&M, there was no chance he was going to play for Texas anyway.

Renfrow · 10-28-2011, 11:18 AM

A little off topic. Why was Kellen Damico nicknamed Junior?

I agree that they really need either Shane Vinsant or Mitchell Krueger. Anyone know where they are considering???

Shane is likely going to A&M, Mitchell is being heavily romanced by OU, A&M, & TCU.

Texas does have Korinek in a year.

Slightly off topic, A&M has a very promising team...Ore, Winthrow are excellent additions.

Texas was devastated when Sock turned pro, they were seriously after him.

Yeah, A&M looks very strong, although Ore did lose to Soren Hess-Olesen at ITA regionals.

Fedace · 10-28-2011, 08:05 PM

does longhorns have some hot cheerleaders ?

Clemson_tennis · 10-29-2011, 08:41 AM

Hess-Olesen looks good for the Longhorns. Should be toward the top of the line-up

UT has some of the best looking women around. Their cheerleaders are no exception.

I doubt it, his dad is the officials co-ordinator for TCU (non-conf).
