Five star junior Rachael White, ranked 20th in the class of 2009, has taken two unofficial visits, to the University of Illinois and the University of Wisconsin, but her mind is far from made up. Colette Lewis talks with White about her tennis and her college plans. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=524 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 Five-star recruit Ryan Ybarra had already turned down scholarship offers to schools in California and South Carolina when he drew interest from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. The teenager from the piney woods of East Texas confesses that he didn't know much about the school, but he fired off an email to head coach Mait DuBois, and a trip was arranged. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=511 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 Four-star recruit Gabriela Demos is the top-ranked player in Missouri and 134 in her TennisRecruiting class. Her champion's heart and athletic skills got Demos on TennisRecruting's Hot 100 list in 2006. Back then, she made it her goal to attend a university and represent it on the tennis court. That goal has been achieved: Demos has committed to Drake University. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=512 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 The #1 recruit in North Carolina is Andrew Carter (Summerfield, NC).

While all of your friends are enjoying their summer break sleeping in or playing outside, you are forced to wake at the crack of dawn and go to school. For Michael Sicora, of Buffalo, Minn., his memories of summer school are a little different, as it literally changed his life. It was there, he took his first tennis class, and as he says now, "the rest is history, I guess." http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=510 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 It was between Princeton, Harvard and Rice, but according to 17-year-old Texan Isamu Tachibana, it wasn't the proximity to home that led him to ultimately choose Rice over the Ivys. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=507 Wed, 9 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 Signing Day continues with a commitment announcement from 5-Star senior Sianna Simmons (Atlanta, GA).

As a rising Texas junior player, he watched countless Aggie tennis matches at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center. Those matches had burned a deep impression in the teenager's brain, and so Klores signed a national letter of intent to play for A&M next August. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=506 Tue, 8 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 For five-star recruit Katie Kargl, team spirit and school size mattered most. When she visited The College of William and Mary, however, she found a group of women in a small school setting who played topnotch tennis, who hit the books just as hard, and who enjoyed each other as friends off court, very much like Kargl herself. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=505 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 Located in Annapolis, Maryland, the US Naval Academy consistently offers one of the finest four-year educations available and the experience of a lifetime. The rich history and tradition of the institution led to a commitment from Zachary Nicholson (Bowie, MD). http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=492 Fri, 4 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 Like any college-bound athlete in their final semester of school and final months of junior sport, Emily Wolf appears to be an excited, positive, somewhat relaxed, somewhat nervous teenager ready to embark on her long sought-after goal of playing for an Ivy League college tennis team. "After going on my recruiting trips and narrowing my choices down, Penn seemed like the best fit for me." http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=503 Thu, 3 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 Charles Pine could see the logistical nightmares coming. With twin sons who are NCAA Division I-caliber players, he wondered what would happen if they attended different universities. But he won't have to worry about that. Jonathan and Zachary Pine of Vienna, Va. elected to stay in-state and attend Virginia Tech. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=497 Wed, 2 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 Five-star recruit Cassandra Herzberg is a young woman who is not afraid to leave her comfort zones. Herzberg, a sun-spoiled Florida native, is going to Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where temperatures hover in the 40s on a nice winter day. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=491 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 05:00:00 -0500 Ashley Turpin was born into a storied Texas tennis family, the granddaughter and daughter of top college players. Now, the gutsy 17-year-old is poised to write her own college tennis chapter - at Texas A&M University. After signing a letter of intent last fall to play for the Aggies, the five-star recruit from New Braunfels, Tex., now bubbles with excitement when she talks about joining the squad at College Station next August. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=498 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 05:00:00 -0500 Ryan Lipman's one-handed backhand, creative spins, crisp volleys, and his favorite surface - grass - recall a bygone era in tennis. Add the plethora of sportsmanship awards Lipman has garnered during his junior career, and it's little wonder the blue-chipper is high on the list of many of the nation's top Division 1 schools. http://www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp?id=502 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 05:00:00 -0500
