Perspective on next year:
Our new men's coach has landed perhaps the #1 class, with recruits ranked by Swim Swam:
11 (number one fly), 13 (number one 200 breast), 14, 16, and 19,
plus an immediate NCAA title contender
in Russian Andre Minakov, the 100 fly silver medalist in the most recent World Championships.
On the women's side,
Stanford brings in the most dominant junior woman's swimmer since Ledecky, Regan Smith.
She's ranked first in the 100, 200, and 500 free; the 100 and 200 back; and the 200 fly.
As mentioned, Stanford also has a commitment from Lillie Nordman,
the #6 recruit in the class,
plus a fast riser at #22
who could move up significantly in the rankings.
Texas brings in #3 and #7, Virginia #2, 9, 11, and 13.
Cal's only top 20 recruit currently ranks at #4.
SC is the only other conference school with a ranked recruit (#11).
On the men's side, no other Pac 12 school signed a top 20 recruit.
