In the ITA fall top 10 newcomer list, there were only two Americans: John McNally (OSU) and Oliver Crawford (FL). Below is the list of 2017 blue chips who waited to Jan to start as well as 2018 Patrick Kypson who is starting early. Are there any others from 2018 starting early? I have listed their ATP ranking and highest jr ITF ranking as well as UTR. (Note Benjamin Sigouin is Canadian but was on TRN blue chip list for class of 2017)
I had lined up the columns but when I posted in TTW, the formatting was lost

The ITA fall newcomers list ranged from Axel Geller (Stanford) UTR 14.68 to Maxim Tybar (13.65).
For comparison, top US players from spring 2017 were JJ Wolf ( UTR 14.49 1/18, 14.27 1/17) and William Blumberg (UTR 14.76 Jan 18, 14.65 Jan 17)

Two 5 star US freshmen already have ITA ranking:

Evan Bynoe 12.92 Cornell ITA #106
The class of 2018 is really loaded headed by Sam Riffice ATP 763, heading to FL for 18/19.
