I heard Frank being interviewed on a shuttle at nationals. He said that this (2018) was likely his last nationals. He said that Tessa wants to "pursue her studies" and his other student Scott Davis was retiring.
I thought Scott Davis was a coach?

Scott Davis is coach but, that's a fairly common name. Is it possible there are 2?
Its unclear but could it be Scott Dyer - another poster brings that up? I wonder if he is one of the students?
Is Shotaro still skating? ...
That's great news. I think Ting is the future for the US Ladies.....
Same thing people said about Gracie when she moved to Frank and we know what happened.I wish a retired Frank Carroll would do a little consulting for Bradie--she needs packaging and Frank understands packaging. Get his advice and then get him out of there before he gets in the way of her jumps. Glad she's doing SOI--it should help her with performance.

What other students does Frank have after Gracie left? Is Denis Ten still with him?

Considering the strong possibility that Ashley and Angela and Courtney and Mirai and Polina won’t be around next year, WHO DO WE HAVE?? Who will be assigned GP slots? Will fewer American women be on the GP circuit, like Canada?
Mirai said she would continue. Angela strongly indicated she’d be here for next season. Ashley is still keeping her options open.
On the GP we should have;
Bradie
Karen
Mariah
Mirai
Angela (1 spot)
And if they really barter for it, Starr and Ting could get one spot a piece.
The question is will they push Starr and Ting to stay juniors or will they move them up so they can get senior experience sooner.
why Angela get 1 spot? Is she guaranteed any spot? Her SB is not in top 24. I'll be happy if she does get a GP thoughMirai said she would continue. Angela strongly indicated she’d be here for next season. Ashley is still keeping her options open.

I don't think Bradie's packaging/polish is as dire as everyone thinks. She has real choreography and transitions, although the choreography might be of questionable taste and quality. But she doesn't seem deaf to music, and she shows she's capable of getting into the performance (as opposed to someone like Gracie, who tended to skate without much emotion at all).
Bradie needs a great choreographer. I would send her to Shae-Lynn to bring out some level of maturity and to teach her to move with more fluidity.
