Ross Miner is also guaranteed a SGP invite based on his bronze medal finish at the JGPF. Also, hopefully Eliot Halverson will be competing at EGL and Mids this season after not making Nationals last year (if he's fully recovered from his back injury, that is).

[Sylvia]

So far, Keegan Messing, Ross Miner, Jason Wong, Alex Johnson, Joshua Farris, Scott Dyer and Sean Rabbitt have registered for the Senior Men's event at Liberty (see the event thread in Kiss and Cry).

Keegan

Oh and I'm friends with Christopher Caluza... he said his coach has given him permission to move up for the upcoming season. He has yet to 'make it official' though.

I would assume that he is. I've only seen him teaching lately, but we did discuss his choreography a bit for the upcoming season.

I'd be shocked to see Lysacek, Weir and Bradley still in the game this year. Ahm jes' sayin'...

They are in envelope but I do not think they will compete.

[Cheylana]

MIDS
Jon Cassar, Parker Pennington, Wesley Campbell, Alex Johnson, Jason Brown* , Josh Farris*, Max Aaron*

If those juniors move up, then what a battle!

Question: Since Jason Brown won Junior Men, is he required to move up?

No, he isn't required to move up. See this earlier thread about a recent USFS rule clarification: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=73058

Christoper Caluza just updated his status on FB saying he passed his senior free skate test and that he is now a senior, for anyone wondering.

[Sylvia]

Thanks, ryanbfan! (Caluza placed 8th in Junior at Nationals.)

J4 Scott Dyer (Liberty)
J6 Austin Kanallakan (L.A. Open)
J11 Sean Rabbitt (Liberty)
Easterns J6: Michael Chau (Liberty)

J5 Alex Zahradnicek (Chesapeake Open, Liberty)

AFAIK, both Shaun Rogers and Michael Solonoski are retiring.

[orbitz]

Parker Pennington is still competing?

[ryanbfan]

Isn't Keegan registered for Liberty? His mother said it's a definite that he will do it.

ETA: Re-read your post. You only did junior men. Got it.

[judgejudy27]

I think Evan is definitely done. Bradley probably too. Weir is listed in the GP series so maybe that means something, then again maybe not.

[ryanbfan]

I also wanted to add that Andrew Gonzales has switched coaches, he told me he is now being coached under Frank Carroll.

How many students does Frank Carroll have now?

I was surprised about the US men getting the short stick with the Grand Prix assignments. Despite not having a guaranteed event, Grant Hochstein was majorly robbed IMO and should've at least got 1 event.

As for Dornbush and Mahbanoozadeh, while their seasons weren't great they were decent enough for an invitation, at least more deserving than Alexander Kazakov, Jeremy Ten or even fellow american Stephen Carriere all who did get invited.

Now all three are stuck in skating limbo (also known as Senior B events).

Dornbush is still age eligible for JGP.
