^^ 4 - 8 hold intrigue. Eh, for that matter, 4 - 12.

I am astonished that the fourth highest ISU Personal Best Score among these guys is 236.36! That's even lower than Ivan Righini's.

Oh, well! At least there is plenty of room for improvement.

Part of it is that four of these guys are juniors or first year seniors.

IINM, they have all participated in international Senior-level competition except for Camden Pulkinen.

It's a good crew: a fine mix of veterans and young up-and-comers, with more established young stars leading the way. U.S. men are always fun to watch.

You’re right, but none of them have done a full year as a senior - basically they competed as juniors last year and were each sent to a Challenger. I think it’s telling that the PBs for all 4 are from junior competitions.

A little OT but I still haven’t figured out what a “good” score will be under the new scoring system. The scores in Philly looked quite low until I remembered that they were doing one less jump, etc. But PCS was also quite low.

I'm happy to hear that Alex Johnson will be attending his first U.S. Nationals Champs Camp, upcoming in another week.

You're not mistaken in that Camden has yet to compete in an ISU Challenger. He has competed in the Philly senior international the past 2 years but this is in the Senior B category that does not count for ISU SB scores (only counts for ISU senior technical element minimum scores list).

Why is Ross Miner not on this list, did he say any-thing "official" if so I have not seen a link to the sight where it has been given. If I missed the posting of that info, I must ask for forgiveness which has been a thing for me in the last week after a hurtful "experience" at the near-by YMCA.

I have not got the chance to study closely some of the men listed above. After my wife get's home from her private squash lesson with Martina we will make a crock pot dish and study video's of these men. May be the next Ross will come out and find a place in our hearts.

We were eating our caribbean dump chicken and catching up on men, finally! But we are still only on Dolenski because once we saw a video of him skating all I could scream is Oh My Godness. My mouth has been wide open for hours, watching video after video. Finally a real man, not quite yet to the point of Ross but he has so much that is right and proper it is all most a miracle.

The body, the wonderful music, and of course he has the right physic to be a real man. What ever woman he is sharing his forever faith bond with sure is a lucky one. I am going off to find pictures and accounts he does on-line, I only hope it confirms my belief that it will be hard to top him when it comes to US men of the future.

This is too good to be the truth! I find the twitter and there he is in a picture video doing a grace-full back flip with the message happy easter, Jesus lives! I feel the spirit of the Lord has breathed new life into my love of skating, this is a day I will not forget. I want to run around my block screaming my joy and faith.
