I have been so busy at work, I am not up to date with all the fall progress. I am not convinced we are stronger with this lineup over last years. Still think 5 and 6 are up for grabs. Doubles are still a question mark. Now, this is not an insult from last year as I feel there were top 3-4 in the country. And, this team no worse that 6. But that is my uneducated opinion!'

A few new faces, but I feel that this is the same level talent that we have had over the last few years. Should be one of the favorites for the sec and a favorite to win it all. I think 5 in the nation is a good middle ground guess. If things go well, then it will be a top 5 year. If things don't go well, then it will be more of a top 10 year. Will be another great season to look forward to.
Preseason ITA #2, wow!

Lets go!!
I was not expecting that but let's go!
I felt we were underrated in the past. It's nice to get the benefit of the doubt - speaks volumes about our program.
I was expecting 1) UNC 2) Stanford 3/4) A&M and Georgia.
I don't see how we are above Stanford, but I'll take it!

Something isn't adding up for me though, I think the coaches know something we don't. Maybe they know of an addition to the team that we don't?
As much as I'm loving the ranking, we aren't the #2 team in the nation as it currently stands. UNC, Stanford, and UGA have better cases.

No one else is coming. And besides that, these rankings don't mean squat when no matches have been played yet.
Mary just lost 4-6, 6-0, 1-6 in the first round of the W35 ARCADIA, CA, SINGLES.

Carson is about to start in the same tournament and would face Crawley in the next round.

I understand that, and understand that rankings are meaningless for a month or two. You can't really warrant A&M at #2 though unless someone knows something we don't.
Well if someone knows something, I can guarantee you it's not us adding someone before the season starts. They'd be on campus already as practice started yesterday or today.
ESPN just secured rights to Men's and Women's team championships for eight years starting next year.

This is good. The SEC championships coverage is better than the NCAA tourney coverage currently.Anchorhold said:

Doubles is key. We have the singles lineup to win it all.

I agree with this unless either one of top 2 get injured. Especially Mary! We still have to be hitting on all cylinders.
Carson lost to Crawley 6-2, 6-4 today.
Carson - wouldn't it be great to get revenge in the NCAA title match with a win over UNC? You have a decade for pro tennis after bringing home the team title.

She's gone. Stop trying to bring her back. I doubt she would have liked playing 3 anyways, she didn't like playing 2 last year.
If we don't manifest it, then it will never happen

Precisely!
Let's manifest a natty.
I've seen interviews or responses that Carson has given basically saying she's looking for sponsors because she's going on tour for a full year. Happy for her.
I think our roster is set, especially seeing that the social media team is pushing out a team member a day now on insta and twitter.
Let's sweep doubles and we will be fine.

I am all for manifesting a natty! Mark and Jordan deserve it, I know that. Few work as hard as they do.
Our roster is set for 2024, let's go prove we are top 2 in the country and win the whole thing!

I cant promise to move on, but I will definitely support this full team all season long! My favorite team at A&M.

I agree. Definitely a good shot to win it all if everyone stays healthy. Also think it will be an "addition by subtraction" situation, where a team loses a great talent that drew a lot of individual attention but comes together more as a team and is better as a whole.bigtimeag1977 said:

This is exactly what I've been trying to say, without saying it
Coach seems pretty confident in whatever lineup he's chosen.

Definitely not trying to put words in Harry's mouth, but this is what I got out of what he said: We lost 3 All Americans that were all fan favorites, each in her own way. The "glue" or chemistry that a team (a national championship team) needs to have is something more that what we had last year. It's an intangible basically indescribable aspect that you know is missing, but there's almost no way to make it understandable to the outside world. Sort of like us as Aggies. We can tell people about our love for the school, but until you experience it there's no way you can actually understand it. I don't in any way think we were fractured as a team in unity last year, but this year seems like that unity is just going to be stronger BECAUSE of the loss graduation handed us. I say we saddle up and get ready to enjoy a hell of a ride. We're going to get a really good taste of what to expect (good or bad) REAL quick this year playing USD and Stanford in their neck of the woods. Watch the girls OFF the court as much as we do ON the court and see if you don't agree that the cohesion we have is even better than what it was last year.
Smash a tennis racket over my head! It's tennis time!!! Let's give them hell!
Loved watching that press conference from Weaver! That little grin of his is saying that he knew something about this team that we don't!
that's great to hear!taylorswift13_ said:
