Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 17 Straight B1G Titles)

Preview of the ITA indoor tournament with some interesting information about this year's team.
Hugo Di Feo is on the Buckeye roster, but hasn't played yet this year and may not be eligible until next year acc. to this article by Coach Tucker.

In addition to Torpegaard, Tucker also recruited another top international player. But the NCAA has not ruled Canadian Hugo Di Feo eligible, and Tucker believes the chances of that happening this year are slim. The NCAA has strict limits on the number of tournaments in which a player can compete after a six-month, postgraduation window, and Di Feo appears to have exceeded it.
“Right now, it looks like they might ding him a year,” Tucker said. “He’s probably our best player. We’d be better than last year if he were eligible.”
Pretty lofty praise for Di Feo if his addition is able to replace captain and All American #1 singles and doubles Peter Kobelt.
Of course Tucker also added that Torp guy who won the Midwest regional :wink:
