ON A LIGHTER NOTE, DID YOU ENTER DEITON INTO EASTER BOWL OR INTERNATIONAL SPRINGS. THOSE ARE TWO GOOD TOURNAMENTS FOR YOUR SON TO PLAY, IF HE GETS A WILD CARD INTO THE DRAW.

aRE U SERIOUSLY MAKING THIS CLAIM IN YOUR RIGHT MIND? I DO LIKE DEIT'S GAME AND THINK HE IS VERY TALENTED, BUT SOME STATEMENTS THAT YOU MAKE FORCE ME TO QUESTION THE SANITY OF THE AUTHOR.

LET'S NOT GET CARRIED AWAY HERE, DEIT IS GOOD FOR A 13 YEAR OLD, BUT TO CLAIM THE DOMINANCE OF AN AGE GROUP AFTER COUPLE OF "GLORIOUS" LOCAL LEVEL WINS IN THE SECTION.....COME NOW, BRAD. LET'S NOT START FLYING BEFORE WE LEARN TO CRAWL. YOU MAY DO SOME DAMAGE TO DEIT'S IMAGE WITH YOUR OUTLANDISH STATEMENTS. DO YOUR OWN KID A FAVOR, DO NOT TURN INTO RICHARD WILLIAMS, LET THE KID DEVELOP AND BE.

first off he's 12 not 13 and the statements are not outlandish just within our plan , as for the guys you named i believed they are all playing the 18's and what i was talking about is the So Cal division, will just have to see what happens wont we!

HE didn't get in we told them he's 12 and will be turning 13 soon but that didn't work .

So CAL Deiton played horrible this weekend i do admit and the other boy played great and watching deiton dictate so many of the point the way he does and on other time putting the ball right through the kid does not seem im insane i just see the possibilities of what he can do. remember hes 12 and i dont see him getting pushed around out there .

he is 13 in couple of weeks, for all intentive purposes, he is 13. That is however irrelevant, the kid has enough talent for a 12, 13 or 14 year old.

Dominating 16's socal, a pretty strong division, is no less of a stretch, than Deiton dominating national level 16's. That is exactly why i mentioned the names of the top kids, so you could see the absurdity of your claim, but you refuse to see it and that is fine.

Maybe if you were less outlandish and extravagant in your statements, Deiton would have gotten a wild card, at least into 14's easter bowl.

yeah but if he really could dominate 16s socal he wouldnt lose to a guy 85 in socal even on a bad day. im not saying hes bad but u gotta see how outrageous it seems to ppl on the outside when you say deit can "dominate the 16s" at age 12, 13 or whatver age he is

ya not surprised by the answer. i thought it would be hard for a 12 year old to get a wildcard into 16s easter. even digiulio played 14s after winning eddie herr and orange bowl. deit hasnt quite done tht

Brad, I thought your goal was top 20,if it is top 20 I can see that as doable outcome,but to dominate the 16s,Deit has to beat
Marcos Giron,Dennis Nguyen,Johnny Wang,Spencer Simon,Alexio Halebian,Dennis Mkrtchian ,Ace Matias,Reo Asami,Sahak Bazrganian,Mika DeCosta,Daniel McCall,and many more... come on Deit just lost to Stefan Risager,this kid is #85... your statement that Deit is going to dominate is like me saying that Donald Young is going win the grand slam this year... possible,yes.. probable NO WAY... but no one can really say.. if USA can have a black president ,I guess anything can happen...

When you say that deiton is not getting pushed around and you see the possibilities, I agree. The reason I think he is talented is because he can hit with these guys, get games of them, in other words compete and sometime in the future he could beat them. However, that does not constitute domination. There are kids out there who are playing up an age group and are having some decent results and even better than decent. Deiton's age group now is 14's (ok, will be in 3 weeks), so by playing 16's he is only playing up one age group. Many other kids are doing it and have more impressive results on a national level, but nobody is screaming domination.

please lets not work politics and/or race into this. i would hate to start a giant argument haaha the fact is if deit can beat the above mentioned people by the end of the year then i will personally congratulate deit and his father and apologize for being wrong and promise never to question them again. but it will not happen

I wonder who has a better chance? Donald Young winning an ATP title or Deiton dominating 16's. Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets.... I will have to go with Donald Young, he gets all the wild cards he needs, thus better chances than Deiton, who could not get a wild card.

I hope this joke is not offensive. Apologize in advance to both Baughman and Young families.

He will play at this age level and work on his game as for the tournys he plays were not to concerned if he gets in or not right now were just using the tourny's we do play to see what we need to work on. Even him getting mad over a bad call needs to be worked on and as So Cal said even on a bad day a kid of Deiton caliber should not lose to who he did . But really our goal is not to even play too many Jr Tourny's this year and being on court 4-8 hrs a week may not do it but will see.

i think last time he played JW he jurked him from corner to corner and i must say watching him running down the ball was very impressive his defense was great but even then it just showed how deit could dictate a player like JW and i know they both have improved will see .He played Spencer a little while back and lost 1 an 1 and in that almost every point was at "AD" and what it shows me is with some playing time he can do what he wants.

Did we lose Brad? Where is he? Is there a slight hope that he saw the simple logic of our contentions? That would be a first.

SoCalDominates : Deit may beat maybe 1 or 2 of these guys,because not all of these mentioned have it all upstairs yet, but as far as those other ones,very unlikely...

This kid he lost to was hitting great he was 3 or 4 yrs older about 50 pounds heavier and he's has a 12 yr old for the most part out hitting him and in a lot of the rally out muscling him and dictating .Were just trying to teach him some patients so he can finish the job .

If every game went to "AD" and he lost 1 and 1, it shows that he has no idea how to play big points, or folds under pressure every time the point is as significant as it is on a break point or a game point.

Well, good luck to your boy. Hope he can figure some things out on his own or with a help of a professional near him. I have to go now.

No offence taken ill show it to Deit he needs some motivation he's wanting to play football more then tennis . He needs a little waxing over on the mind but as for the tools and power to get the job done he has, its the brain lol will see.
