At this point he is probably looking at players 2+ years down the road. Can't work with the guys until they are back in the fall.

Thanks for the link. Really surprising that this station would have an interview before anything on Gatorzone.

There's some stuff out there that doesn't get out it seems.

Shelton hired Amer Delic as his assistant coach. I'm thrilled and so are the boys on the team. Thoughts? Comments?

I'm not sure what to think. Completely out of the blue. I thought he was still on tour. Any links?

I like Delic as a player. Didn't realize he was throwing in the towel on his playing days, but I guess the timing makes sense. Eager to learn more about the hire...can't find info on it anywhere.

Great write up and I love how Shelton explains the fit. Native Florida guy goes on to win NCAA team and individual and launches into solid pro career. Several ties to alumni who are still active on the tennis scene. Totally solid hire. The only thing he lacks is recruiting experience, but he knows the nuts and bolts from being a top recruit himself. I'm sold.

Wow, surprised but it makes sense. He grew up in Jacksonville and he has had quite a few injuries the last few years. He was injured again while qualifying for a Wimbledon warmup and recovering in Jacksonville at his parent's place. Congratulations to him!

I heard that Butz is enrolled at UF this year but has decided to not play collegiate tennis any longer. Does anybody know why Tripper isn't on the roster this year?

Spencer transfered, Butz quit tennis, and Tripper got kicked off the team. Coach Shelton is having a rough start, but is doing everything right in my opinion.

Shame about Butz and Carleton. I always thought of Trip as a tough player to coach and wondered how that fit would work.

Disappointed Butz gave it up. Like him for doubles for sure, but he never seemed to dominate in singles. Good kid and best wishes.

Is the kid from England coming? That would put us at 8 and is a comfortable number for me.

If he doesn't come or impact the lineup, I'd see us as:

Bob
Piro
Flo
Alford
Watson
Federhoffer

I really don't know anything about Proisy or the English kid.

Lot of wasted talent but if Coach keeps making all the right decisons, I think he will have top players lining up to come play for him.

My understanding is Piro must sit out the fall - but able to practice with the team. He will be eligible for the spring. Luke Johnson is the kid from England and suppose to be in Gainesville and eligible for the fall.

The English kid is here, not sure why he's not on the roster. I agree with your line up, except I would put Billy ahead of Watson, and I MIGHT put Piro ahead of Bob. Not sure Proisy or English kid will contribute much this season, but things could change as the season progresses.

Watson just took out Lock from FSU. I like this kid.
