[QUOTE="JogginFrog, post: 3306206, member: 4994"] Let's start with the good news: Gustav Frimodt is back at TCU for his bonus Covid year. And he's had a great summer, with top-5 finishes in two big amateur events (Western Am, North & South Am). As a result, he moved up from 66th to 35th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Getting into the top 50 in WAGR [URL='https://gofrogs.com/news/2023/8/11/mens-golf-frimodt-qualifies-for-us-amateur.aspx']qualifies him for next week's U.S. Amateur[/URL] at Cherry Hills in Colorado. TCU also picked up two of the better men's coaches available in Bill Allcorn and TCU alum Cole Buck. Allcorn recruited much of the talent at OU in the past few years, and Buck made a lateral move from perennial golf power Stanford. With the coaching change, some of the fifth-year seniors may have wanted (or been encouraged) to consider transfer options. Chris Berzina returns for a bonus year; however, Jacob Skov Oleson took his talents to Arkansas. The Hogs also appear to have poached TCU's top incoming men's[URL='https://twitter.com/haley_lefevre_/status/721913624407617536'] commit[/URL], junior college player of the year [URL='https://arkansasrazorbacks.com/roster/matthis-lefevre/']Matthis Lefèvre[/URL]. That makes a young team even younger. Frenchmen Aymeric Laussot and Max Giboudot are also missing from the roster. Neither appears (yet) on other rosters. Laussot may have opted out of a fifth year; Giboudot may be following the Celli plan of playing spring golf only (as he did last year). Besides the announced first-year signees (Sloan Henggeler, Andrew Petruzzelli and Andrew Payne), one other freshman is on the roster: Pietro Fenoglio, courtesy of the Italian pipeline. He is ranked outside of the top 1,500 in WAGR, so the talent may be raw. Behind Frimodt, I would expect wide-open competition for playing time. Berzina and Brandon Massey have the most experience and are likely to start, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a freshman starting out of the gate. The [URL='https://gofrogs.com/sports/mens-golf/schedule']schedule[/URL] keeps the Frogs close to home in the fall, with tournaments in San Antonio, Albuquerque, Fort Worth (Shady Oaks) and Houston. The spring schedule has more travel, with a couple of new events that might be intended to help the Frogs manage the .500 rule for post-season eligibility. On the women's side, the loss of Caitlyn Macnab looms large. (She transferred to Ole Miss.) Avery Blake also transferred (to Oral Roberts)--she hadn't played much but finished T5 in the Texas Women's Stroke Play this summer. Only six Frogs appear on the roster, so everyone should be ready to play--although the schedule isn't out yet, so it's possible the roster isn't final. The one addition is Meagan Winans (transfer from OU), who qualified for the U.S. Women's Am. Coach Larkin signed an extension and new assistant Kendall Ahrens joins the team following Andrea Kaelin getting the head coach gig at Tulane. Ahrens was at James Madison previously. Would be great if she could help with player development as well as recruiting. Good luck to the Frogs in 2023-2024! [/QUOTE]
