Who's in your nine?

This blustry morning, we gave your ours, the nine people, places and pomp that could make for an interesting L.A. sports 2009 (linked here).

1. Nick Montana
2. James McDonald (pictured above)
3. Drew Doughty
4. The L.A. Marathon
5. Andrew Bynum
6. The World Baseball Classic
7. Mark Sanchez
8. Auto Club Speedway
9. Someone you don't know. Yet.

We also had a second nine at the end, because sometimes, nine isn't enough.
== Kendry Morales
== Jrue Holiday
== ESPN at L.A. Live
== Tristian Bowen
== Point Encounter
== Rachel Wacholder (although, we're hearing that she may be pregnant as well and could skip the upcoming AVP summer season)
== Long Beach Grand Prix
== Ed Roski
== Anthony Kim

Care for nine more?

From submissions via our beat reporters, we have these to also consider as impact-makers, or those kind of "who's next" candidates:

== Malcolm Jones: Nick Montana's teammate at Oaks Christian, a running back who's probably in the top five at his position in the nation.
==Baillie Kirker: A junior at Crescenta Valley who hit a Southern Section record 18 home runs last year, playing both shortstop and catcher for the softball team that reached the Div. III semifinals. She's already committed to Arizona.
== Richard Brehaut: UCLA has a verbal committment from the Los Osos of Rancho Cucamonga quarterback, and with a spot presumably open in Westwood, he could be in the mix right away as a freshman.
==Ryan Kasdorf: We briefly skimmed over him in the first nine list when mentioning Montana, but considering all the attention he drew as a junior at Notre Dame High, the recruiters this fall will be salivating even more over his stats.
==Don Catlin: The USOC steroid doctor based at UCLA who's closing on a reliable test to detect HGH.
== Jonathan Quick: Quickly endearing Kings fans with his goalie play.
==Gerrit Cole: The New York Yankees drafted him 28th overall out of Orange Lutheran High. The pitcher with a 95-plus mph fastball turned down millions and signed a scholarship offer at UCLA.
== Jenny Johnson Jordan: Another AVP woman moving up.
== Marc Tyler: Former Oaks Christian standout waiting his turn in the USC backfield could step up even quicker if C.J. Gable leaves.
