Very long, somewhat interesting article on the impact of the scandal on a kid who didn't get a scholarship. The stunner was the tidbit that Don Kennedy, Ted Mitchell, and Fred Hargadon all served on Singer's board of advisors. That's some Stanford connection. . . .

While it's a well reported story, one asterisk -- I do find it a bit hard to believe a 5'11" guy is a top, top tennis prospect unless the rest of his game is amazing. (Which the description of his tools -- strong forehand + serve; weak backhand -- does not suggest.) Anyway, that's mostly me being persnicketty.

Listed as a 3 star recruit, number 135 in the country in 2017 according to Tennis Recruiting. . . .
