[QUOTE="Longfrog, post: 3153518, member: 26611"] I'm by no means an expert on the scholarship topic, but here's a link with some info: [URL]https://www.ncsasports.org/mens-tennis/scholarships[/URL]. The key stat is the 4.5 scholarship limit for D1 & D2, which teams can break up among the entire roster as they see fit. Not sure whether some lower level teams play under that limit. They've got a stat that 34 percent of D1 tennis players were international in 2017. And I suspect a lot of the domestic kids play at less competitive schools. It seems like the top domestic talent flocks to the flagship schools like Ohio State, Florida and Texas. The TCUs of the world have to find overseas talent to compete. It's very do-able, but it does make me annoyed when I occasionally see comments asking why TCU doesn't have more US players (I know you didn't say this). Any school would love to get the cream of the domestic crop, but if you want to compete as a smaller school, you have to go overseas. Baylor also has zero US players in their top 6. Wake won the title in 2018 with an all-international lineup. But we occasionally find good US players like Rybakov. Our only commit so far for next year is from Florida, and he's very good. [/QUOTE]
