1) this Ohio State team should make a deep run in the NCAA tournament: May 19-30 @ Michael D. Case Tennis Center, Tulsa, OK

2) wait until next year, Diaz is the only senior.

Agreed re. Deep run at NCAA tourney, looks like a 4 or 5 seed dep. on TCU points, with #1 u Virginia in the bracket, # 2 and 3 will be ucla and North Carolina,
Diaz is graduating, and Steinbach also was recognized as a senior on last match.

Re: Ralf Steinbach 6-1 185 RS JR Halle, Germany (Sportgymnasium Halle)

http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/sports/m-tennis/mtt/osu-m-tennis-mtt.html

He's listed as a "redshirt junior", possibly he is graduating too and has already decided he's not coming back for another year.

Next man up:

Matt Mendez 5-9 160 RS SO Mount Pleasant, S.C. (Heritage Academy)

Kyle Seelig 5-9 160 FR Hatfield, Pa. (Plumstead Christian Sch
Blue Chip recruit and five star recruit according to TennisRecruiting.net

Hunter Tubert 5-11 175 FR Huntington, W.V. (Huntington)
A five-star recruit according to TennisRecruiting.net

Besides Alex Kobelt FR and Charles Shewalter RS FR, there's Joseph Thomas (5 star recruit) and Jacob Wareti (4 star recruit) coming in the fall.

Re. Steinbach,
I was also surprised he was included in the senior recognition last Sunday, major contributor to success for last 3 seasons,
but Ralf will turn 24 on May 24,
NCAA eligibiltiy clock has some unique rules for international students,
limits are placed around age when enrolled and years of eligibility.
I assumed the age eligibility clock must have run out.

re. next year,
Joey Thomas is having an outstanding Season on the jr. circuit and at Jackson H.S. near Canton, and is soaring up the recruit rankings.
and don't count out Tucker finding another elite international student like Blaz Rola or Mikael Torpegaard to enroll in 2016-17.

OK,

1) UNC lost to VA in the ACC semis on 23 April 2016.

2) UCLA beat Cal for the PAC12 Championship on 23 April 2016.

3) the last ITA ranking was 26 April 2016:

1 Virginia 77.36
2 UCLA 71.87
3 North Carolina 70.06
4 Ohio State 68.86

4) Since the last ITA ranking Ohio State won 3 matches in the B1G Conference Championship beating #24 scUM and #17 Illinois; UCLA and UNC hasn't played since 23 April.

5) TCU did beat both #10 Oklahoma and #8 Texas Tech in the Big XII Conference Championship this weekend.

6) We may very well get passed by TCU; however, would those three wins give Ohio State enough points to bump them ahead of UCLA and/or UNC?

The Buckeyes, who also won the Big Ten regular season crown, have earned the Big Ten’s automatic berth into the NCAA Championship. The NCAA Selection Show is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3. Ohio State will likely host the first and second rounds which will likely begin on Saturday, May 14.
