ColoradoTree, isn't the reason why we only had seven scholarship players this year because we had one reserved for CiCi Bellis? I mentioned her in passing in another post and I know she's been brought up on this board before, but for those who aren't aware, Bellis opted to turn pro in September after reaching the the third round of the U.S. Open. She had previously committed to Stanford in July while competing in the Bank of the West Classic which is a WTA event held on Stanford's campus. While she would've only been a freshman this year, I think it's safe to say that she easily would've been one of the most dominant players college women's tennis has ever seen. Crazy to think that we still reached the finals this year despite missing out on such an elite talent.Â
