I had thought there might be more announcements of National Letter of Intent signings than I've seen, but I suspect some of that is simply a delay in the creation of releases, probably until tomorrow, which is the final day for the early signing period.
But here are a few notables:
Florida State welcomes Brad Mixson, Chris Cloer and Bobby Deye. Mixson and Deye are from Florida and Cloer's brother Mat was a pillar of the Seminole team that shocked Illinois in the Round of 16 at this year's NCAAs.
Illinois has signed Alex Kharkevitch from Houston.
Texas A & M is bringing on Dallas' Tyler Tarnasky in 2006, as well as Luka Ocvirk of Slovenia.
Virginia has landed Shan Sondhu, Lee Singer and Milo Johnson. Sondhu and Singer provide further evidence that head coach Brian Boland has no difficulties recruiting in the junior tennis hotbed of Southern California; current team members Rylan Rizza and Doug Stewart call that area home. Johnson is from Oklahoma, which is assuredly not Tennis Land, but he got my attention when he gave Sam Querrey a battle in the third round at Kalamazoo this year. Tennisrecruiting.net's picture shows him with a crew cut, but as you can see from his Kalamazoo profile photo, it hasn't always been so.
I'm sure tennisrecruiting.net will provide a much more thorough report in the coming days.
