Men's tennis 2018 outlook

It's bleak
Chambers Easterling no longer on the roster. And once again I don't see the Tennessee transfer from Serbia on the roster as we approach the dual season, just like last year when another Tennessee transfer failed to stay on the team for the spring. I have no idea what the deal is with that.
This years team looks to be the weakest yet. Only 9 players on the roster and 3-4 of them are D2/back up quality. Certainly not ACC caliber players. Dagostine, Quattlebaum, Rabideau are D2 quality. Van Gelderen and Pelletier aren't high quality players either.
1. Favrot
2. Baundry
3. Edwards
4. Kelaidis
5. Pelletier
6. Van Gelderen
yikes. It really sucks because I used to love being passionate about Clemson tennis and getting into those tight ACC matchups. It's hard to get into it these days with a team of this quality.
The non conference schedule is butter soft. I imagine in the hope to get some wins so it doesn't look as truly bad as it is.

Are both the Men and Women's team playing their matches at Anderson and Furman this year while the new facility is being built,both indoor and outdoor?Noticed on the Men's Tennis twitter that they were practicing at Furman...https://twitter.com/ClemsonMTennis/status/949422718306455552

Hopefully the new look Hoke Sloan Tennis courts,stands,scoreboard and Indoor facility will be nice and state of the art.As far as the men's program is concerned it needs to be because just can't keep getting behind in recruiting while all the other Tennis powers in the ACC keep moving farther and farther ahead.

Wake Forest is probably the favorite for the national title

this year. Scary loaded in talent.
UNC will also be top 5.
Virginia will actually have a down year this year since they lost many players and their coach. But they will still be top 15.

You sound like you play. Personally I think its the greatest sport second only to College FB.
I got to hit with the Citadel no1. back in Nov. and it really puts you in your place. They play Clemson in Feb and I plan to got to watch that one.

It really does. D1 players are very good

and even though Clemson is not good this year the will beat Citadel with ease, Citadel is one of the weaker D1 programs.
