Scores of Division I Signing Updates; ITA All-American Champions Stoiana of Texas A&M and Spizzirri of Texas Top D-I Fall Rankings

In the past I've published several updates on Division I NLI signings during November, but this year I've waited until a week after the first day to officially sign in the hope that the bulk of the announcements have been published on the teams' websites. Several of the biggest names have not had official announcements posted on the school's website, although Kalamazoo 18s finalist Trevor Svajda had his announcement on Tennis Recruiting last weekend, and US Open champion Joao Fonseca of Brazil was welcomed as a signee by Virginia on twitter.

Here are the website signing announcements I've seen; some schools do them individually and some together, so the links are separated if that's the case. If there is no country give for the signee, it's the United States.

The only rankings of the fall season have been published, with Mary Stoiana of Texas A&M and Eliot Spizzirri of Texas at the top. Both Stoiana, who is the first Aggie woman to be ranked No. 1, and Spizzirri, who has been No. 1 since last February (hat tip John Parsons), won the ITA All-American Championships in October.

The men's rankings make more sense to me than the women's, as it's puzzling when South Carolina's Ayana Akli moves up just one spot from the preseason rankings despite making the semifinals and finals of the two fall majors and Reese Brantmeier stays at the same spot, No. 5, despite winning the National Fall Championships this month. Missing from the rankings, and I don't mean the Top 10 below, but the entire list of 125, is preseason No. 1 Fiona Crawley of North Carolina. Crawley did not play the Fall Nationals and lost in the second round of the All-American Championships, so she is not currently ranked.

Below are the Top 10 in singles and Top 5 in doubles after the fall season and it will be February before we have another set of individual rankings. Click on the headings to go to the full list of all ranked individuals and doubles teams.
