Lulu is definitely expected to return.

Another note: I believe one of the two remaining transfer players we were expecting just signed elsewhere in the last couple of days.

What are you basing this on? Their UTR?

If we sign one more 11ish UTR we are going to be better than this year on paper.

This team had unbelievable chemistry, experience, and intangibles that don't show up on paper, but pure rating/level/results we have a chance.

if we sign an 11 UTR, we'll be the outright favorite to repeat the natty

I'm not sure there are many 11+ UTRs (aside from Nicole) in the portal. Olivia Lincer is close at 10.95. Anyone in the 10.5+ range is icing on the cake at this point. We are already very good.

I'd LOVE to see a doubles specialist

Lot of time til Spring season. I think at least one of the two is close to that. Ilinca was announced in Feb.

illinca wasn't the plan A for that last roster spot last year. Abbaggnato, who went to tu, was plan A. she was committed but when they tried to get her admitted to the university it failed. she then went to texas and was the #3 player in the country by the end of the year.

Mark would rather have all his pieces on the board now than waiting on a late spring addition. Someone signing now and arriving later is a different story, but a possibility.

Yep. Hear you and agree.

Primary point is I think Mark holds out for another big one.

Speaking of Abbagnato. It's been fun having Texas down these past several years but they look stacked for next year. Top 5 talent with 4 11ish UTRs already.

I like our team better (always do) but think they make some noise.

they definitely are building to be really good, i'll continue to hold my reservations about how good they really are until joffee can truly compete in the SEC. joffee is a great recruiter, but the past 5 years has done near nothing with all that talent.

He did win back to back titles a while back. He can coach.

Maybe he's caught up in getting the biggest UTRs and not the best fit for his team.
