What level of recruit?

---

Mark has landed some outstanding late additions over the past few years. For him to pull the trigger on the last spot this early makes me think this one is a genuine difference-maker.

---

News is slow these days

Nice - very very solid team!

Is this an immediate contributor? Where does she fit into the equation?

She's a 10.5 UTR. She should be a contributor.

Just watched some film on her. Impressive to say the least.

FYI -

• United States: UTR is the official rating for the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) and is widely used in US college recruiting and junior circuits Tennisnerd. The USTA also uses NTRP (1.07.0) for local leagues, but UTR is the benchmark for competitive play

• Europe: Many European countries have long used their own systems (e.g., France's French System, UK's LTA rankings), but UTR adoption is growing. Countries like the UK, Ireland, and parts of continental Europe are integrating UTR alongside or as a secondary metric

Solid #6. Similar to Daria in level and good depth add.

We have several high upside players 10-10.5 UTR. One or two of those breakout and we are running this back.

She was an 11 UTR not long ago. I think she will be anywhere from 3-6.

Where did you see that?

From what I've seen in her film and her results, I think she will be higher than 6. A lot of solid contributors this year, though!

She was more around a 10.75 a while back. Not quite an 11. You can look into their UTR stats history.

Who wants to guess lineups?

I feel like it's hard to guess this lineup! Cooling is on the rise quickly and will be the next in line to be #1. Reed has had a great summer. Arina has some great wins and has taken down some top 250 WTA players in 2026. Jara on the rise. I'm not sold on Lincer being #2 to end fhe season. This freshmen class seems to be the corner stone class to reload and develop.

Lincer
Cooling

What are yalls opinion on adjusting between playing pro tournaments and college matches. Is it a hard/tricky transition? Is the school aspect the harder part?

I agree with this. The high WTA ranking tells a lot more than the UTR and I wouldn't be surprised to see her playing in the middle of the lineup. College UTR is pretty accurate but UTR can be pretty shaky among non-college players. Don't forget Gianna Pielet was 11+ UTR at one point!

Another great get by Mark and I think this puts us right back in the mix.

Gianna legit got worse and worse. Easy to forget that she turned down Stanford and dominated OU when we lost the 4-3 heartbreaker at NCAAs. One of the very few that didn't improve dramatically after joining.

Assuming we get everyone we are planning I'm not sure how she cracks the top four?

Definitely possible to make a nice jump in the Fall.

To be clear I think it's a very nice addition. We won 5 of 6 singles matches at the final site at the bottom of the lineup with V and Daria. We need amazing players at those positions.

I'm a big fan of pro during the summer and fall but want 100% commitment in the spring. Schools that mix in pro during the spring struggle.

Our 2026 team won with commitment, grit and heart as much as they did with talent. Legends.

IMO miles ahead of Daria, who made the most of what she had, but was not initially a contributor & struggled to make the lineup until she developed.

This girl is ready to go.

I'm comparing her to senior year Daria.

Senior year Daria is underrated. 3-0 vs Auburn. 1-0 vs Georgia. Mark sticking with her paid off in the biggest way possible.

Well this got us talking! Let's go!

Can someone post the teams UTRs? I'm curious where everyone currently stacks up

Any chance you could also post what OU, Texas, LSU, Auburn, look like? Curious cause I feel like those are the contenders next year. And UGa

In that order

Georgia

SEC going to dominate again.

That Texas lineup is missing two very strong players.

Rose Nijkamp 10.72 from Okie State
Arianna Zucchini 10.92. Top 500 pro.

Annoying but easily their best team in years. 10.72 as your #5 is legit.

Thank you Bigfoot! Our team isn't too far off, especially if we can get Cooling back to a 10.9 UTR and see a rise our do a few others.
