As i recall entrance into Wake was a prize in itself for certain tennis players that then paid their way

Fine; so to bring it back to the source of this entire conversation, sports like tennis and golf are taking fewer true walkons that are admitted purely on academic merit than other sports. For these other sports, this can boost their average team GPA.
I was just trying to figure out why golfers were such shitty students. Then again, they might have busted out the highest team GPA the next year, so who knows.
Interesting that our six sports this year with perfect Graduation Success Rates were: volleyball, men's tennis, women's tennis, field hockey, women's basketball, and women's golf.

I don't think it's a golfers thing, maybe they just had a bad year when you were there. The sports that I'd guess consistently have the lowest GPAs on average would be football, basketball, and baseball.
Wow, the Deacs are #2 in the preseason team rankings and have the #1 singles player and doubles team in the country.
Petros is #1 in the singles rankings by a huge margin. Skander is #4 and Christian is #21. Gadjiev made it in at #120.
Skander and Christian are #1 in doubles.
That Bresky guy is alright

That's impressive. #2 is the highest ranking ever for the men's team. I think Petros is the first player we've had ranked #1 and Mansouri/Seraphim is the first #1 doubles team. I've seen two other preseason rankings, one with Wake at #2 and one at #4.
You're definitely right about Petros being the first #1 singles guy. I wasn't quite sure if Cory Parr and Steve Forman got to #1 in doubles after they won National Indoors, but I don't think they did.
Todd Paul was #1 for a period in 2007.

we gon win it all
I honestly think we could. Assuming Lazarov and Gojo are as advertised, our top 5 is going to be almost untouchable.
