Looks like Hady Habib is rejoining the team after playing professionally for the past 18 months. He left the program after the Spring 2017. I have mixed emotions about this. After Kypson's 1 and done last year, and now Habib, I am really confused about some of these NCAA rules.

UGA coach Manny Diaz tweeted this, pretty sure it's related to this situation:

He could have been taking online courses similar to JFF. Needed this to compete this year. Losing Kypson was a big, albeit expected, blow.

The men's team has made a joke out of the word"student athlete", we rented Kypson last year and paid for him to play pro for 6 months while
He never attended a class on campus, now gonna rent Habib for the spring. They recruit kids to go to class and make grades and a different set of players to play matches.

Complete abuse of what it means to be a student athlete, but what else would one expect when it's a longhorn who is the leader of the program.

You act like we are the only place that does this.

Just because other programs do this, doesn't mean Texas A&M should. I would say that there are very few programs that have done the Kypson deal and very few that have done the Habib deal in back to back seasons or forever for that matter. Doing whatever it takes to win is a poor message to send to young men.

That may have been your first post ever not mentioning Denton. Well done, you're making a positive change!

Hey littlefoot! Denton is the head coach so it is of course about him and who is doing this.

Do you follow college basketball? Why is Kypson any different than a one and done there?

I think Diaz is onto something. We should try to snag McEnroe for the spring season. Maybe he and Hadi can be doubles partners.

The Power, Promise and Pitfalls of Adderall Are Well Known at One Fabled Tennis Program

Quote:

On July 10 the local DA's office issued an arrest warrant for (UGA Assistant Coach) Hodge, charging him with a felony for purchasing a controlled substance and a misdemeanor for theft. Hodge was booked into Athens--Clarke County jail at 10:50 a.m. on July 11 and was released that afternoon after posting bail.

That same day, the DA's office charged a UGA tennis player, a redshirt freshman, with a felony count of selling a controlled substance. It was Alex Diaz, the coach's 19-year-old son.

Maybe Diaz should worry more about keeping his own house in order.

If the NCAA deems the players eligible, then what is everyone's problem?

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's ethical. Another reason why the ncaa is a joke.

You've made our point ^^^^^^^if that's the direction of our program, I'd rather not have men's tennis, my money will go to sports that promote student athletes

First duel match of the year underway against Abilene Christian from Burbank, California. Abilene Christian is 2-0 in California on the weekend with wins over Pepperdine and Azusa Pacific. They look to have a decent top of the lineup but I'm guessing we are a lot stronger at the bottom of it.

I see where the Aggies are picked fourth in the SEC coaches poll. Will be interesting to see how that looks at the end of the season.

Aggies take on Virginia At 2. Shapes up as a tough match. Number 1 player for Virginia is special. Joined them in January and playing 1. If you are in the area stop by because we will need all the help we can get.

You literally never stop. I don't get it. I don't understand what you get out of being so negative.

Close match. Really thought we got hosed on some calls from the UVA players in doubles.
