Only 6 scholarship players on the roster this fall. Hopefully Joffee is able to get 2 big portal additions for the spring

I believe the SEC has limited the roster to 9. I'm assuming the 9 are scholarship players and not inclusive of walk ons. True? 

I still don’t know what the walk-on restrictions are, but women’s college tennis programs can have 8 scholarship players, and unless Deatherage or Schmeil were granted scholarships (which would be bad news for the health of the program) we have 6 scholarship players with 2 open scholarships

Bitchin name, but her UTR is the same as mine which means she should not be taking up a scholarship on the Texas roster lol

Copying from another forum:

 

"with roster limits at 9, you can not afford to carry players that are not capable of competing in the SEC.

Ah good to know! Yep that would definitely change things. I was thinking maybe it was 9 players with any sort of scholarship money, and then walk ons on top of that"

 

3 good quality additions would help this team out!

What about Elizabeth Ionescu? I thought she was class of 2025?

I had forgotten about Ionescu since she's listed as a 2026 recruit, but she'll be here spring of 2026. Sometimes with spring recruits there can be some eligibility delays, but hopefully she can get here in January and begin playing immediately. That means we still could sign one more player between now and January for the spring season.

Any relation to Sabrina or is Ionescu like "Smith" in Romanian culture?

She's a sweet girl and a good player.  But I think she only played in three matches last year (so not sure if she is a scholarship player).  She used to hit with my younger son when she was in high school and he was getting ready for freshman tryouts. 

 

Also, you have a near 8 UTR?  That's pretty good for a Surly poster.

Yeah, my UTR hovers between 7.4 and 7.8

Anyways, we now have our 8th and final scholarship player for the spring season.

Carmen Herea defeats the #10 ranked player at the ITA All American tournament to move onto the Quarterfinals. She's now guaranteed a spot in Orlando at the NCAA Tennis Singles, Doubles Championships in November!

Carmen Herea is into the quarter finals of the NCAA individual singles tournament! She plays a tough match tomorrow against UNC’s Reese Brantmeier.

Brantmeier has a lot of fight in her in this Championships tournament. Came from behind to win her 1st round. She's beatable. 

Carmen, UT's lonely All American this Fall, has had a tremendous Fall season thus far!

On another note, 2 of UTs ex-players that transferred out, made it to Orlando.

I saw Ashton Bowers lost first round. Who was the other?

Okay I see Char is only in the doubles draw which is why I missed her. Texas didn’t qualify a doubles team this year so I didn’t pay attention to it

And no doubles team for the men as well. :/

Herea lost today 6-7, 0-6 to Brantmeier. Herea showed some resilience in the first set being down 5-1 at one point, but after losing a handful of set points and being assessed a point penalty for several bad calls, she lost the set and then completely unraveled in the second set. Hopefully she learns from this

Bianca Turati likely helped us land this recruit. Her 11.10 UTR makes her the best player on our roster based on the UTR metric. A welcome addition to the squad
