What about Wagland and wood? Not much improvement there
Ponwith did lose to the #1 seed in the round of 16.<br />That being said, he would be better served going to Georgia and getting to practice every day with Oosterbaan, Wayne Montgomery, Walker Duncan and Robert Loeb. Also , Manny's track record with John Isner and Matias Boeker show that very good players improve a lot under his coaching. Paul Oosterbaan improved tremendously from 2015 to 2016 and I have read several articles that were very complimentary of the coaching that Paul received from both Manny and Bo Hodge.
If he does not go to Georgia…… Someone is giving him bad advice
Ponwith lost in the round of 16 of the french open juniors. Pretty sure he will be at UGA
You've obviously heard what I have. I don't think he'll be there at all, but definitely not in the fall. Unless his results this summer and fall absolutely stink.
I backed him out since he most likely won't be enrolled in the fall but I just put him back in just in case he does.
Wow look for Va Tech to follow in a big way, hard to lose 1-2 rank guys but 4 on a 25-50 ranked team is huge
Any reason why you didn't include Brayden Schnur in the rankings for next year?
