The National Indoor College Championships are about to get underway. No British women taking part, but a few men.  The lone representative in singles is Cameron Norrie (TCU) who is seeded 2.  In the dubs, Jordan Angus+ (San Diego) is seeded 3.  Julian Cash+ (Oklahoma State) and Alex Gasson+ (Denver) are unseeded but play each other first round.

Lidos Burrows going to middle Tennessee too, albeit she used Stars and Stripes as Opposed to Sarah Borwell from what their respective Recruitment companies Twitter accounts Would imply. 

Stars and Stripes brings a bit of competition to that market, anyone know much about them?

Someone tweeted the link to Jean-Julien Rojer's page when he played for UCLA: www.uclabruins.com/ViewArticle.dbml I hadn't realised that he had attended university - and that his doubles partner for much of that time was none other than Marcin Matkowski. They were, unsurprisingly, the number one university doubles team.

A very interesting Q and A with Austin Krajicek: www.tennisrecruiting.net/article.asp.

 Assume you mean Lidia Burrows.  Have added her along with Mia S, George B, Caleb D and Matthew S.

You also asked about Stars and Stripes on last year's thread.  Are you connected to them?  It's the brand name of Pippa Lane who has been placing recruits at US unis for a good few years now.  I believe she is fairly well respected although I don't think she deals with as many Brits as Miss Borwell.

Yes saw my typo re. Lidia, no connection at all with Stars and Stripes that's why I asked the question. Got a child who will be going to the States in a couple of years and just weighing up the options. Have met Pippa and she seems great but no real knowledge of how good a job she does compared to Sarah.

Really interesting updates, thanks for running this thread.

The Optimist, two quickies: your information I assume you're getting from the colleges themselves? Or is it tennisrecruiting.net? And also, what does italics signify in your list?

Not talking for The Optimist who, I'm sure, has a lot of excellent sources, but Sarah Borwell's professional tweet feed for Tennis Smart puts up a lot of the details (as lots of GB players use her company to get their college place).

 As others have said, italics for the most recent additions to the list - just to make it easier for people to pick out the new ones.

Get a lot (but not all) of my info from the 'tennis grapevine'.  However, I never post until I have seen the scholarship announced by the college or on some other public site, such as tennis recruiting.  I don't want to inadvertently scupper someone's scholarship negotiations by jumping the gun.  Kids may well be putting out which college they've chosen only to find that the offer doesn't materialise and may want to carry on talking to their 2nd choice as if it were their first (or any other similar situation).  If I then spot any others on these sites which I had not heard about, I add them as well.
