Boyajian Talks about UNC Choice; Frilling to Notre Dame; Pie in the Sky
My weekly contribution to The Tennis Recruiting Network is the result of a recent phone conversation I had with Brennan Boyajian about his choice of North Carolina. After having conducted quite a few of these interviews, I'm still searching for the perfect question that produces instant insight into the recruiting process and the subsequent choice. But it's always fun to discuss this new stage in the player's life; I hope to do many more profiles and announcements in 2008.
The Dayton Daily News featured this article on Kristy Frilling and her decision to attend Notre Dame. There are a very confusing couple of paragraphs about Frilling's doubles success--she won the Pro Circuit's Augusta event recently with Madison Brengle, not Asia Muhammad. Muhammad and Frilling made the semifinals at this year's US Open Junior Championships, and Frilling won the Easter Bowl with Mallory Cecil, so it's obvious that she's a great doubles partner for anyone. Also, I don't think Muhammad has turned pro, while of course Brengle has, but I'm not relying on this story for that information given these errors.
A story that I stumbled across about high school athletes and their expectations, from the Hilton Head Island Packet, makes for interesting reading, although the focus is sports in general, including tennis, but not exclusive to it. Entitled "READY OR NOT: Pie-in-the-sky assessments can mean pie in the face on signing day," it's definitely a worthwhile article for those who are hoping to play Division I sports.

hi collette...they did misunderstand a few things in the article, asia has not turned professional. I didn't say that but i think they got misunderstood because the interview was done over the phone and they asked a lot of questions. so i just wanted to clarify that asia has not turned professional. thanks!
Jesse Levine beat Donald Young today to win his second challenger in a row. wow.
