Pleasantly Surprised to see Bucks were ranked above some other very strong teams, however…
ITA has access to the UTR ratings of its scholar athletes and the Buckeyes as a team have done some serious improvement in these numbers.
According to college tennis ranks site…
http://collegetennisranks.com/rankings/team/144/d1m
Bucks have the highest 81.93 UTR of any team.
What is not factored in the CTR site is the team’s individual most recent updated UTR scores…
1. Kingsley…..13.97
2. Tracey……..13.82?
3. Boulais…….13.96!!!
4. Trotter……..13.80
5. Cash…………13.64
6. Anthrop……13.43
7. Bernard…..13.43
This month, it will be a competitive practice schedule as Tucker peers over an incredibly talented roster and attempts to find the strongest line options for spring season.
Gracelhink uninformed speculation for the 2023 Buckeye single’s lineup
Based on fall results Kingsley and Tracey will almost certainly be first and second line.
Bernard’s strong summer and fall imho has raised the specter for him to challenge Trotter for the 3 line, so interchangeably Trotter/Bernard at #3 and 4.
At 5 & 6 line, Boulais is playing lights out, as is Anthrop.
Cash is the best doubles player in the NCAA. Would love to see Trotter and Cash together at #1 dubs line,
Tracey & Andrew lutschaunig had a GREAT fall in dubs play. They would make a dominant pair at #2.
Options on the 3 line … Kingsley & Boulais or Anthrop & Bernard ….
Wow! It’s so good to be a Buckeye!
