May 23, 20232 yr Author Spotted a current Texas tennis player requesting in the youtube comments to show Spizzirris match. lol Edited May 23, 20232 yr by perfectchaos007
May 31, 20232 yr Spizzirri ends the season #1 regardless in the final rankings. Second player to do so at Texas (Steve Bryan 1990) Spizzirri/Harper finish #2
June 25, 20232 yr Fire CDC, this guy sucks! He’s actually probably a good hire, but that’s not Surly enough.
July 3, 20232 yr Author I feel like Spizzirri won’t be back next season, but that announcement didnt seem like a definitive declaration he’s not coming back next season. Who knows
July 17, 20232 yr Author Spizzirri is struggling on the pro circuit so far. He’s 0-3 this month and hasn’t even managed to win a set. Disappointment for him, but perhaps he’ll take a hard look at coming back to UT for one more year.

September 5, 20232 yr Author After his lackluster pro debut this summer I had a feeling he would be back. It’s the right call I think for him
September 6, 20232 yr Spizz preseason #1 in singles, Bailly 16, Micah Braswell 17, Woldeab 28, Jonah Braswell 45 Spiz/Harper #1 in doubles, Woldeab/Bailly #9 Edited September 6, 20232 yr by Js1
September 6, 20232 yr Author This team will be salty. I'm already looking forward to the season in January. I imagine the singles lineup will be: 1. Spizzirri 2. Bailly 3. Woldeab 4. Braswell M. 5. Braswell J. 6. Harper Braswell bros could team up in doubles too. We're going to be a tough team to beat.

September 27, 20232 yr Feels like the volleyball team from 2 years ago. It's a super team and anything other than a national title will be a disappointment.
September 27, 20232 yr Author I mean we bring back practically everyone from our team last year that finished the regular season ranked #1, and now we just added 2 pieces to make us considerably better. I love that the 2nd match of the season is against the team that upset Texas in the NCAA tournament last season (and went in to win the title). Texas Tennis Center should be packed to watch that match

September 28, 20232 yr This has to be NIL don't you think? I hope we're doing this across the board. This is how you flex your muscles. Build super-teams and we already saw it work with the volleyball team last year.

Build super-teams and we already saw it work with the volleyball team last year. Here's how things work, and will work for awhile, in the non-revenue sports as it pertains to NIL. There are a few routes for leveraging it. 1) Crowdfunding leads to a competitive floor difficult for other programs to match. In a sport like tennis, assume $10k/player plus any overhanging school expenses, can fend off a great many other programs. That's years with worth of a crowdfunding build, most likely. 2) A single or few major patrons fund a coach's needs, up to ridiculous numbers in order to win bidding wars. 3) Serious corporate NIL either irrelevant to the program (Dunne at LSU) or completely relevant to the program (layers of corporate interest in Austin). The men's tennis portion of crowdfunding is not meaningful at this point, at least as far as TOF is involved. There are some benefactors to some extent. There's probably some element of corporate support, especially if that can be parlayed into sponsorships when the player goes to Europe or goes pro. I won't pretend to know how heavily involved any of those components are for Texas right now, but it's not nothing, and I haven't heard of any other school getting serious about NIL for men's tennis.
October 11, 20232 yr Timo has signed his paperwork! Spizziri also won the ITA Singles over the weekend - third ever Longhorn to win it. Followed it up by finishing as runner-up with Cleeve Harper in doubles. First Longhorns duo to make it that far.
October 27, 20232 yr Author With Gilles enrolling in January, this is absolutely the most talented roster ever at Texas. If NCAA played 8 lines of singles, there's no one in the country that could perceivably beat us. However, just 6 lines of singles gives other teams a chance if a few of our guys have an off day. I'm excited to see what this team can accomplish.
November 7, 20232 yr Author Spizzirri and Braswell should be the #1 and #2 ranked singles players come January when the spring rankings release. This team is stacked
November 7, 20232 yr This team not winning a title might be more disappointing than if the volleyball team didn’t win one last season. Crazy expectations but that’s what you want.
