Why did Parsa delete the Stanford tweet? Maybe they didn't want that news out there yet...
Sam Edwards to Clemson
Bobby how'd you find out about Chamdani? Know where he's headed/likely to go?
I noticed that Duke removed his from the roster a while ago so that's why I put him on the list - I haven't heard about a landing spot for him yet - I know he's from California so maybe he ends up closer to home.
How do you know the two from Alabama are transferring?
heard he's heading to either Stanford or Cal
I had a source that's in the know give me a tip - he's usually spot on.
Ok no offence Bobby but can you calm down with the "I heard" "my source". etc. IIt's becoming a gossip rumor mill in the comment section. From the commenters too. and nobody is checking anything to see if this is fact or not.
That's the whole point of rumors. There is no official way to verify things until they are made official by official channels. These rumors are all interesting seeing as they all greatly impact college tennis for this upcoming year. If you don't like it go somewhere else.
