Of course I will! I'm excited to see other skaters as well!

Cup of Russia seems to have rather weak fields. They left the door open for Plushenko and Sotnikova to have relatively easy events with the TBD spots.
I'd hardly call her growth spurt devastating. Her season was a combination of: still exhausted from Olympic season, growth spurt, boot problems, scoring cracking down on edge problems and program issues. It was a bad combination but all of her SP's were nearly flawless - if the growth spurt was the problem, I think her problems would have been 'all-around' issues, not just FS issues.

Sep 15 for Skate America.
Varies by event, I'm pretty sure.
The answers would be in the announcements for each event, but they are not posted on the ISU site yet.

Well, true...it was just a splat-fest of a season for her, in terms of almost every FS she did. I like Yulia a lot, but I'm not sure if she's ever going to get back in the form she was at the Olympics.

Sadly, I agree. I am still rooting for her, though! Hopefully she surprises me and has a major comeback this season.
It seemed like most all of the Olympic medalists had issues this past year, like some kind of curse. Some practice videos that have been passed around of her in the off-season have looked promising, and she seems much more focused in her interviews (well, based on translations) than she did last year.

Some fun facts, via Ice Network's twitter feed, @icenetwork:
Way to go to everyone who got their first GP assignment this year, or their first in a while like Grant Hochstein. Speaking of, I wouldn't be shocked to see Grant get the SA host pick. Who are the other men who might be in the running?

Yes, please!
Max, Jason, Brendan and Kostya all at Skate America: I think this is my favourite so far! So many favourites!
Skate Canada is probably my least favourite thus far. Between Hanyuflation and inflation everyone else will be scrapping for bronze even if those two start zamboni-ing the ice with their behinds.

At least Josh will be at Skate Canada! That's something to look forward to!
And by Kostya do you mean Menshov? If so, I'll tell you that he looks SO similar to my math teacher from my Fall 2013 semester of college/university. LOL. Which I found so creepy.

Yes, he will be one of those scrapping for that bronze medal, and I'm sure he can do it!
Kostya = Konstantin, so yes, the Old Man Menshov
I think he probably jumps better than your math teacher.

Answering my own question: Ross is the only other American man who got 1 assignment. Other men who have been mentioned are Alexander Johnson and Nathan Chen, though I'd assume he's staying junior if he didn't get any assignments. I suppose Jordan Moeller is an outside shot at best, but it would be fun for Team KoRo if he got it.

It seems weird to me that Ashley was not picked for SA being as she is the current National champ.
