Wasn't sure where to put this. But it's an interesting dilemma for many schools

Re: (When the Hogs initially cancelled Men's tennis) Current student-athletes will also have the option to enter the transfer portal. The Department of Athletics will assist those student-athletes to ensure they find a new program.

Just sayin': When Arkansas cut tennis the players had the option to enter the transfer portal and I believe that some players did.
Anyone know if Arkansas player (#17 ranked and just a sophomore) Jakub Vrba entered the transfer portal?

If he did and still wants to transfer, he would be a good pick up for Ohio State..... :biggrin: Jakub Vrba beat both Alexander Bernard and Nikita Filin this past fall.

Just sayin':

1. UVa finished 28-4 and won the National Championship. Two of those losses were to Ohio State.

2. If everyone eligible on UVa comes back next season, they are going to be tough to beat in 2026/2027.

Filin, Carpico to Compete for US Open Entry​

Top American collegiate tennis players will compete for a wild card spot in the 2026 US Open during a playoff June 16-18 in Orlando, the USTA announced Monday.

The Ohio State doubles team of Nikita Filin and Brandon Carpico, finalists at the 2025 NCAA Doubles Championship, will represent the Buckeyes at the event.

The full player fields will be selected May 27. Player selections will be determined by a committee made up of USTA staff, college tennis coaches and an ITA representative. American NCAA singles and doubles champions this season along with the finalists earned automatic entry.

All matches will be played at the USTA National Campus' Collegiate Center.

The second-year playoff is part of an expanded NCAA-linked wild card pilot program that guarantees at least six US Open wild cards to American collegiate players each year, coinciding with the NCAA DI Individual Championships shifting to the fall.

Filin and Carpico were ranked as high as No. 1 in the ITA weekly rankings this season. The pair finished with an overall record of 37-6 with a 22-3 record in duals. Playing primarily at the No. 1 doubles spot, they put together a 15-2 record at the top of Ohio State's doubles lineup. Overall, the pair was 17-3 against nationally-ranked opponents in 2025-26.

Ohio State finished 32-5 this season. The team earned its 20th-consecutive Big Ten regular-season title and advanced to the program's 18th appearance in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.
