I was reading your beast of a blog yesterday. lol I will read through it more completely and comment, of course. It is a beast for sure. hehe
D, I sent out a message to all 107 members earlier today, but you weren't a member of the Coaches and Pros group yet so you didn't get it. You are a member of the old group that got replaced. :-) Not to worry, I got you covered. M
Noel Wadawu where does he teach out of? is he a rank player in the mens? was he on the tour or a tour wantabe. i gave my review of your blog.
Sorry, I forgot the other question. He is going to play at Western Kentucky. It's a not so good D1 but the fit is perfect. He is going into the honors college pre-med so can't have tennis dominate his time. This college has a great balance between tennis and academics. Not always easy to find
Sounds like a plan!
