You gotta love a good bracket this time of year. #1 Emory vs. #8 Skidmore Skidmore played a great match against Trinity, and they will be rewarded for it when the rankings come out later today, but they are not ready to beat the Eagles. This will be a great tournament for Goodwin to get…
To Everybody, I’m going to do a Stag-Hen preview tomorrow, but I want to make sure I have the match-ups right. I believe the seedings were set before all of this craziness happened, but I want to make sure I have all the right teams in the right places before I do a preview for…
Let me start off by apologizing for all of the grammatical errors that were in my last post (there were several). Most of this stuff I write is just stream-of-consciousness, but the last post was a little ridiculous. Now to stuff that matters… Monday and Tuesday I think this has been the craziest season anyone…
There are a number of matches with huge Pool C implications happening this week before the Stag-Hen gets under way. Here are my predictions with a little bit of rationale. Please take them with a grain of salt. Monday #14 Bowdoin vs. #16 Carnegie Mellon The Polar Bears put their Pool C spot on the…
I apologize for any tangent in this post, but I’m going to try to get a week’s worth of thoughts in one post and a heck of a lot happened this week. First, for comedic purposes, I’m going to attempt to rank the top 25 teams right now. Frankly, the rankings for the next couple…
D3tennis and I both don’t have time to cover the great matches that will be happening this weekend, but I’m posting this so people can comment on what’s going on. If anyone wants to comment who is going to be there, send an e-mail and you can be a guest author… Redlands won today against…
In a season full of crazy happenings, things just got crazier. This is by far the craziest of all of the crazy things. It’s like in the NCAA tournament when everyone gets all excited about a 12 seed beating a 5, and then a 15 beats a 2 later that night. CMS fans might try…
Monday #19 Mary Washington beat #20 Cal Lutheran today. I’m a little surprised by the result, but I’m absolutely stunned by the way it happened. I thought Mary Washington would struggle at least a little bit in doubles in their first match on the West coast, and that wasn’t the case at all. They dominated…
The D3 season really picks up this week, with several ranking borderline teams making California swings. There are so many matches that I can’t really give all of them their due, so some of these previews will be very, very short: Monday #19 Mary Washington @ #20 Cal Lutheran The rankings don’t show it, but…
With the recent successes of Whitman, Wisconsin-Whitewater, and Kalamazoo (three teams with unimpressive tennisrecruiting.net profiles) and the new rankings out, I thought it would be interesting to try to compile a ranking system for the teams with the best player development. I wanted something that was relatively easy to calculate but still mostly objective. Here’s…
