I don't see any harm in adding them to the ISP. Thought they looked credible at the Dallas Classic.Observation: The Mullens are on the ISP with a 127.35 at last year's Junior Nationals. Perhaps Bland & Sperry's score at the Dallas Texas Open will be enough to get them listed?
Don't they usually? I would anticipate that Neset/Markelov will be assigned to the first JGP in Courchevel, along with a lower-ranked team like the Peals or Carhart/Horovyi; and the 2nd & 3rd JGPs will probably have Pham/Rogers and Hauer/Starr assigned along with whichever of the 2 teams that don't go to France in August, plus one other. None of the 6 teams are clearly outpacing the others, so it's probably going to be a mix-and-match to see how they score internationally during the first 4 JGPs.I hope USFS will wait for Lake Placid before making any borderline assignment decisions.
It would be surprising if they didn't since both are ranked in the WS Top 24. My GP projection would have them getting two GP assignments (they're guaranteed one) - we'll see. The US is going to be packing the GP fields in dance this season. We could have 8 or 9 teams with assignments when the initial assignments come out - and most of those are likely to get two (Chock/Bates, Hawayek/Baker, Green/Parsons, Carreira/Ponomarenko, Brown/Brown, Wolfkostin/Chen, Bratti/Somerville, Pate/Bye, maybe Cesanek/Yehorov), and lots of teams vying for a likely SkAm TBD (Pate/Bye, Cesanek/Yehorov, Ling/Wein, McNamara/Spiridonov, Zingas/Kolesnik).I don't see any harm in adding them to the ISP. Thought they looked credible at the Dallas Classic.
Of the teams I saw today, I'd say that Neset/Markelov are far ahead with their complete package. The next tier of teams are good, too, but are in a developmental stage, needing to polish either technical skills or performance quality or both to reach that next level. Bland/Sperry fit in nicely in that group. Frankly, I liked Epps/Gillman, too; too bad they had an unfortunate technical mistake today, but they have nice spark. And I agree with @Dobre that US Figure Skating should wait for Lake Placid to make final determinations of later JGP initial assignments.
Any word yet on whether Wolfkostin/Chen or the Browns are moving up?

Yes, usually; but Lake Placid was held a little later than normal in 2019, and I thought they handed out one spot too early, plus threw one away too early that season.Don't they usually?
I don't think we've heard anything decisive yet. I do think there was a quote from the Browns saying something along the lines of thinking that they've done everything they could do in juniors. We will find out for certain soon.Any word yet on whether Wolfkostin/Chen or the Browns are moving up?

From a friend who attended Dallas Classic, this is a family of 3 girls and 1 boy. I didn't realize girl/girl dance partnership for competition was allowed, but do think it's cool.I see in intermediate dance we have four Rudedenmans (two couples) - I assume they are all siblings. How interesting!
Oh wow, how interesting - thanks for the info!From a friend who attended Dallas Classic, this is a family of 3 girls and 1 boy. I didn't realize girl/girl dance partnership for competition was allowed, but do think it's cool.

There might be a misunderstanding since I don't know the family either and I wasn't there. It was a comment from a friend who was at Dallas. I was excited by the possibility of such partnership. Sorry about this.Disclaimer that I was not at Dallas Classic, and do not know the family.
But I wonder whether there is any chance of a misunderstanding here -- for example, about the composition of the family and/or the possibility of a male cousin with the same last name being one of the dance partners?(I'm thinking back to the partnership of Danny Moir and Sheri Moir.)
FWIW:
- Bryndolin competed in Preliminary Girls in 2021. Ryedin competed in Intermediate Men in 2021.As dance partners, Bryndolin and Ryedin placed third together in Dallas.- Looking at ice-dance.com's photos of Cianin and Brysin together from 2021 Intermediate Dance, I would say that they appear to my eyes to be a female+male partnership??Again, FWIW.
Cianin Rudedenman & Brysin Rudedenman + Bryndolin Rudedenman & Ryedin Rudedenman train in Riverside, California and are coached by an older sister, Cailin Rudedenman.From a friend who attended Dallas Classic, this is a family of 3 girls and 1 boy.

I thought Neset/Markalov had a real spark on the JGP last year. Lots of room for growth technically but also lots of potential. This is a fun FD idea for them; looking forward to seeing it.Junior FD music:

Thanks, I will re-post the links in the U.S. NQS & Club Competitions thread in the Kiss & Cry section.New junior couple of Zoe Larson and Andrii Kapran are in RD and FD start orders for this week's Orange Blossom Open in Florida.
They both are representing Florida Everblades FSC.
ETA that IDC's Dallas Classic photo galleries are up:[At Orange Blossom today] Carhart/Horovyi's FD music is "Another Love" by Tom Odell - I enjoyed their performance, as well as Z. Larson/Kapran's (perhaps to a Ukrainian song in tribute to his homeland?).
Koncius/Shchepetov's FD music was to the W.E. film soundtrack by Abel Korzeniowski.
^^^ Just to be nitpicky, the official competition names are Dallas Classic and Orange Blossom Open.

FWIW, I've seen a couple of Grigory Smirnov's Instagram stories recently that indicate he is back in Moscow, so I think we can assume their partnership is over.Any word on what's going on with Nguyen/Smirnov partnership? Is he even in USA right now?
