LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas tennis head coach Todd Chapman announced the signing of Julia Deming, a five-star recruit according to tennisrecuiting.net, who signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) during the early signing period.
Â
Deming, from Oasis High School in Fallbrook, California, is currently ranked as the No. 36 prospect in the United States for the 2017 class. In doubles, she is the No. 1-ranked player in the Southern California Girls 18s Doubles and has claimed the No. 17 spot nationally. Deming currently ranks as the No. 5 singles player on the Girls 18s Southern California list.
Â
“We feel like we hit a homerun with the signing of Julia,” said Chapman. “Not only is Julia a great tennis player, she is an even better person. We really have enjoyed getting to know Julia the past year and a half, as well as her family. Julia is someone we recognized early in the recruiting process who we were going to really go after.”
Â
In 2016, Deming received a bronze ball in doubles at both the USTA National Clay Courts Championships and the USTA National Hard Courts Championships.
Â
“What first attracted me to KU were the coaches, Todd and Caroline (Lilley),” said Deming. “Their attention to my game clearly stood out. When I took my unofficial visit last November I was very impressed by the team’s friendship and support they showed for one another. This was a very important decision I had to make, but after my visit it was clear to me that KU was the perfect fit for me.”
Â
She also represented Southern California at the Pacific Cup, Maze Cup and Intersectionals. During her 2016 season, Deming received the Southern California Sportsmanship of the Year award.
Â
“Julia competes arguably in the hardest USTA section in the U.S.,” said Chapman. “She is bringing with her a wealth of experience and confidence knowing she has competed against the best. Julia has an all-court game that allows her to mix things up and the ability to keep her opponent off balance. Caroline did a great job of establishing a bond with Julia early on in the recruiting process and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome our newest Jayhawk to the KU Tennis family.”
Â
Deming will join the Jayhawks next fall for the start of the 2018-19 season.
