In her late interview with Bob Costas last night Franklin said that she was really looking forward to the team experience of college swimming & had no intentions of turning pro.
Costas asked for her current leaders list and she said she was planning on visiting Cal, USC, Texas, and maybe one other. Cal is understandable with the bares coach the women's Olympic coach and ex-bare Dana Vollmer having been on two gold medal relays with Franklin in London. Texas and USC fall into the usual suspects category.
Franklin is the type of athlete who could be the cornerstone of multiple national championships and certainly appears to be a grounded, delightful young woman in addition to being an elite athlete. She is just starting her senior year in high school, so there is still a window of opportunity.
C'mon Bernard, get out of the gate like a champ and hire a great women's swim coach so we can get a shot at this exceptional young woman or it may be a tough 4 years of coulda, shoulda.
