You can view the results above, but the feedback in the post is about all I ever got.

All Power 5 schools either have them or have a Club they can use nearby. Mid majors it is hit or miss pending where they are located. Some schools only have 4 courts such as UGA or Kentucky. If they are above Mason/Dixon line they have them or have a club they use, below its likely they...

Tennis with North East Schools has really just lived with the Ivy's, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Maryland, West Virginia, all should have programs. Its a combination of weather, year round ability to play, Athletic budgets in cost heavy conferences, or poor alumni/student support. I lived...

Yea, that is partially it. Tennis is also intense, and for many players it can become unfun; or they become injured and physically can't compete. However, this wasn't always the case, and the transitioning of young competitive players, to post-college participation is hanging fruit. Other...

There are a ton of former threads on this with many debates and opinions, but here are some things to consider if you want to research this topic: First, look at college players in the top 100 rankings prior to 1994, and since. You will see there were consistently 50+ prior, and since it is...

I've played them all -guys that question every call like they are going to fight you -guys yelling 'come on' when you make errors and they are in the middle of a college match -guys that show up with one racquet, old shoes, and a plastic bottle of water, maybe a towel...and then beat the crap...

Probably best to focus on a few teams/schools you would follow for other sports and then follow their schedule. Most teams are wrapping up their non conference schedules right now, and will start getting into conference play. Many of the power 5 school matches are streamed now, and will have...

Depends on the school and how involved/supportive the Club team is of the Varsity team, or how welcoming the varsity team is of the support; some cases they interact, in others there is none. I definitely have not heard of varsity players making it a habit to hit with club players.

Mental strategic side of my game has improved 100%, much more of a thoughtful player today and win or lose I take it as part of the process not dwelling on any one thing....fitness has been up and down, and I am more prone to injuries...Much of my style has been the same thou overall as far as...

Many of the clubs in the U.S. do not allow Grass Court Shoes anymore cause they rip the grass up. They are even cracking down on clay court shoes on grass as this is the reasonable alternative. So this maybe hindering the release of GC shoes in the Domestic market, along with so few grass...

Wasn't unheard of prior to 1990 that someone might have played at a Jr. College before transferring into a school, and not all of these cases are documented or as well known as the ones you referred to. But since the early 90's the answer is no. Keep in mind, many NAIA and D-II schools were...

A Ton of great D-III options, and even mid major options in Ohio....

Probably not, but there have been a few players in the past years that have been on that threshold, local, and connected with the program, who have made the team at least. And we don't know this posters situation; many potential variables. Their pro can advise them hopefully

You need to qualify through your section, so if you're in Ohio its through the *******. Each section is allowed qualifiers usually around 20-30 depending on the size of the section, and those that qualify work their way through the individual closed tournaments in their sections and...

Higher then a 11 UTR, and probably more realistically higher then a 12. Experience playing ITF Jr events and winning rounds, and qualifying for National USTA tournaments such as the Hard Courts in Kalamazoo. HS tennis experience would mean very little stand alone, but its a good bonus to...

They will heavily recruit any kid that is a 5 star or Blue chip in state or in an adjacent state, and consider less depending on their experience or connection. Ohio has had very few players of this calibre the last years, outside of Wolf/McNally, and most that are close have found their way on...

Guessing they messed up the mens and women's teams. OSU women are the 15th seed and hosting

The Slam Short is an old school Tricot material, I actually love it....But the pair I bought felt more like 7" then 9". Also if you end up liking LCS, the TW Europe site has a lot more options

I usually wear Lacoste, and I tried LCS when I bought a pair of tennis shorts on a trip to Paris the year before. Not gonna lie, I love the shorts and the fit is very "French" similar to Lacoste. I probably wear them weekly, and bought a couple more pairs off TW so they get washed a lot and...

I thought their stuff fit well, but a lot of their designs/colors were too edgy and obnoxious. They were trying to niche out a faux style in a very traditional market. And the other poster is right, too much competition with big box retail. I thought the fit and quality was good so its too...

I would recommend you go true to your size on bottoms and size up on tops unless you like it fitted

I have lived in a bunch of places, can't rank all of these because there are so many factors (number of courts, good players, tournaments, pro/college tennis, opportunities to play, public or non-membership facilities) but of major cities here would be my list: Atlanta S. Florida; Miami/Ft...

May be some D-III or NAIA schools he could shoot for, and be able to play at. D-I would be too tough, but could try some mid majors. Problem is those programs are typically poorly run, so not worth the trouble. At that level I would shoot for some nice D-III programs where he can get better...

full circle

Thanks for posting these, tough to track them all down. Be interesting to see what sports got hit the hardest as a whole, I think another poster had a link to something like this. In the grand scheme of things, tennis isn't a sport with a big budget so it only has a small impact at some of...

There will be more sadly. Here is a good article on the process and the myths; Its focused on the NJ area, but mentions many of the schools https://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/sports/college/2020/05/19/colleges-using-pandemic-excuse-cut-sports-programs/5225835002/

I think they are a strong indoor team; will come in second in the BIG to OSU, and will probably make the final 16 in May...But can't see them getting any further outdoors. However, I see them being a top team in 2021 if they manage a strong recruiting class, and this years performance will help...

Here is the USTA voted rankings.... 1. (5) USC – 300 2. (2) North Carolina – 288 3. (1) Ohio State – 275 4. (4) Florida – 251 5. (3) Texas – 248 6. (11) Michigan – 244 7. (8) Wake Forest – 216 8. (10) Stanford – 207 9. (12) Columbia – 195 10. (6) Texas A&M – 186 11. (7) Baylor – 179 12. (18)...

I get it, USC fans will think they are amazing. I like them, but I just wouldn't read too much into this win. I don't think they go the rest of the season blowing out everyone or dominating. I am sure fans of the team will be hyped, but Michigan choked that match away, TCU had a shot at them...
