Big 10 Tennis

Michigan looking strong. I also suspect that Rola will go pro after playing some futures and maybe challengers.

He is a nice player, and a good person. I think he just over reached, it wasn't going to happen, and quite honestly he wasn't going to bring it higher. NU, look at Wyatt McCoy, game has improved. I wish him luck.

Started a countdown of the greatest Big Ten tennis teams (overall). Very interesting looking up all the info on the teams. If there any Big Ten fans here besides me and Jaggy, please take a look and let me know if I left something out or put out some wrong info.

Started with No. 12 Nebraska Cornhuskers today. Will put out one a day till I reach number one.

Thanks. It's been fun going through all the records. You find some stuff you never knew. Maybe I should do one on the all-time teams and not limit it to the Big Ten. That would be interesting too.

Michigan looks good this year. They picked up Newman and if Rola doesn't come back for the Buckeyes, they would be the favorites to take the Big Ten.

They also picked up Vlad Stefan when Maryland cancelled their men's tennis program. All of their top six return, plus two good transfers.

Could be a changing of the guard in the Big Ten. What other transfers or notable freshman will make an impact?

My Golden Gophers return a deep team but only added one unknown freshman to the roster. Jury is out if they can improve on their 3-4 place finishes of recent years.

I am picking Northwestern to win it all this year. They got this one guy that is really good. i don't know why he chose this school but they got lucky with this dude

[jaggy]

Sam Monette at Indiana will be a strong freshman so I expect IU to be a little better but Id be surprised if they make any kind of jump.

What do you think is the most surprising Big Ten result at the ITA All America's? Obviously Peter Kobelt but Evan King going two and out has to be a huge disappointment for Wolverine fans.

I didn't have too many expectations besides Michigan making some noise but yeah, I was surprised they fizzled out so quickly. I think they are really going to give OSU a run for its money this year but that tournament was a letdown for them.

One of the more astute posts I've seen on this forum.
