Potential Grand Prix Men

There are 28 men on the list including several skaters that competed as juniors and may choose to move up to seniors or return to the Junior Grand Prix.  This list was compiled using previous criteria for determining Grand Prix assignments.

There are 60 Grand Prix slots (including host picks) with 39 of the 60 slots filled from this list, giving the skaters a good probability of receiving a second assignment.  Joshua Farris and Jason Brown are likely to move to the senior ranks this season while Nathan Chen and Shotaro Omori may stay in juniors for another season, making additional spots available.

The assignments will be released on June 1st.
