If they are not turning pro, I assume they are just resting since they all had a busy fall. I guess we will find out soon since the schedule gets tougher.
Thanks for the update, cardfan77. Also, all three are still listed on Stanford's roster at gostanford.com. That seems significant to me, but maybe I'm mistaken.
Oh, Stanford beat SDSU 4-1 on Thursday. LSJU won the doubles point--Rivera/Razeghi and Krupkin/Leach won while Chang/Tusher were up 5-4 when the point was clinched. In singles, #1 Chang, #3 Razeghi and #4 Leach won. #6 Anderson lost in straight sets. #2 Rivera was up 2-1 in the third set and #5 Krupkin was up 1 set but down 5-6 in the second set when their matches went unfinished.
Stanford plays at the ITA Kickoff next weekend with Utah, Oregon and Rice, all unranked, also participating. But Saturday, Jan. 31 and Sunday, Feb. 1 #12 UCLA and #19 University of Satan's Children visit.
Other matchups against currently ranked teams--as of the January 7 ITA poll--include #23 Pepperdine, #17 Duke, #5 Virginia, #25 Clemson, #1 Wake Forest (home on Friday, April 3), #9 NC State, #15 Cal.
Not that it matters but the following conferences are represented in the top 25:
ACC: 8 teams
SEC: 5
Big Ten: 5
Big 12: 4
WCC: 2
Ivy: 1
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
