Zaun/Slick and Burik/Kolinske are in qualification.
Only Rosie/Trevor Crabb are in the main draw.

Two notes: 1) Like I said, it all starts with Zaun next season and who he picks, clearly other players - Slick - recognize his immense ability & ceiling 2) Unless USA volley is paying for Kolinske & Burik to travel, total waste of time and money, no shot whatsover There are some incredible accolades being thrown on Zaun on this board - hopefully he can deliver. "immense ability and ceiling"? He is decent younger talent - perhaps we don't have a lot of decent young talent on the men's side so there's that...

But you have to think there should at least 10 players indoors (Pro or NCAA) that are better prospects???

But you have to think there should at least 10 players indoors (Pro or NCAA) that are better prospects??? I would think from the indoor game. I like Zaun and will be cheering for his development. I do think people have a much higher opinion of his game maybe only because there really isn't a lot of young talent under 30 that has broken through though. Kid has a lot to learn defensively to be an International player.

If anything, he gets the ol east coast bias treatment.

After losing to Miles/Billy, could we see partner swap? That one had to sting.

Curious to why Rosie and Trevor would drop out since they were in the main draw. Unless Trevor couldn’t make it in time since Tri Bourne’s wedding is coming up soon?

There just isn't much new blood out there on the men's side.

There just isn't much new blood out there on the men's side. If I had to pick a young defender, order would be: 1) Taylor 2) Eric 3) Reid Having watched all the SoCal tourneys in person, didn't see any other young defenders that caught my eye. Cook the most upside as a blocker. If Miles would nut up and go AVP, I'd put him right there with top 3, guy has size like Eric.

Not sure I'd list Reid as young. I'm a fan of Chase, and agreed on Miles.
