Are there any 'newer' readers of this thread out there (e.g. US tennis college kids' parents) who would like to report on 'over the pond' activities as the older kids (EP's and mine) graduate & move on? ______________________________________________________

The above carried over from the 2022/23 US College signings and Chat. Would be great as TP says to have peeps carry on posting to the thread.

Public Ivies - That term was conceived by Richard Moll, a former dean of admissions, to recognise schools that he believed to be the nations best public universities in 1985. In the book he covers the honours opportunities at his chosen schools, with the belief that they are equal to an Ivy League education.

good luck to Jamie ! I dont follow UTR so a rating of 10 or 11 means nothing to me - where would that equate someone, eg where would, typically, someone ranked 1000 or 2000 expect to be in terms of UTR?
