What was the count, did we sweepVery satisfying Indoor National Championship. The Big XII beats up on the SEC and the Big Ten and then the Frogs wallop the Horns, again!
It was a legit 4-0. Singles sets were 8-2 Frogs, but all our sets were won in 10 games or fewer. There was a bagel and a couple of 6-1's in the mix. The two sets we lost were both in tiebreaks. The whole thing was done in under 2 hours, which is lightning fast for a college dual.What was the count, did we sweep

Checks outMy exact thoughts. This is the #1 team in the nation with Pinnington
Roster is just stupid loaded with him. And I’ve probably been undervaluing Gorzny. I had previously said we have four guys who are top-end #2s, but we may actually have five guys who could play #2 for virtually any team in the country. The lineup is ridiculous. We got guys on the bench who would play #3 or #4 singles for top 10 teams.Checks out
The lineup already looked really good on paper, then you have 2 guys who are playing beyond what I would have expected in Fearnley and Gorzny. Fearnley is a legit #1. We'll see if there's a dip when things move outdoors, but right now he looks capable of taking a point against anyone in the country. The singles lineup is really good, but it's pairing it with our doubles that makes us the best team in the country. On any given day, you can get 2 points against us in singles, maybe 3. But there's no way you're getting 4 and we haven't dropped a doubles point all year.Roster is just stupid loaded with him. And I’ve probably been undervaluing Gorzny.

If there's one thing I've learned from the Cracked Racquets guys, it's that Devin Bowen has immense respect in the tennis world. According to them, TCU's reputation is that it's a pro factory. You go there to get tutored by Bowen and trained to be a professional. The Frogs care about Ws and Ls for sure, but the priority is preparing you to play at the next level. Having Norrie/Lugones out there gives a ton of legitimacy to that narrative.Also - this is a great example of finding one big name guy, Norrie, and then leveraging that pipeline. Gray and now JPJ
Also - you think people/recruits notice Norrie’s coaching box full of TCU apparel? Hell yeah they do.
Little bit of luck with how good Norrie has been and him choosing Lugones as coach, but also really good job taking advantage
Really wishes Rybakov would have cracked top 200 but just not working out. I think Gray could get top 200 but he’s not that interested in playing a full schedule it seems likeIf there's one thing I've learned from the Cracked Racquets guys, it's that Devin Bowen has immense respect in the tennis world.
