Any information on how the men's team is doing with recruiting? It's started!
Where as the guys recruiting is coming along where does the women stand on recruiting for 2023. I do see one recruit #53 Kathryn Hazle from the san diego area. Meanwhile the Florida Gator and Texas each gotten at least 5 top 50 recruits per Collegeswimming website. Of course many of the top recruits haven't commitments yet though I expect the Furds and Va will get their share. We don't seem to be pulling in the top recruits class since the 'fab four' era!swan said:
Cal's 2023 recruiting class is coming together quickly, mirroring a national trend that shows a vast majority of the 2023 men's class having already made their verbal pledges.
Cal's current 4 verbals include the #5 (Keaton Jone) and # 9 (Roman Jones) recruits in SwimSwam's "Way Too Early list of top-20 boys from the high school class of 2023".
Keaton Jones holds the fastest time in the 200 yard backstroke for the 2023 class, and has potential in the 500 free and 100 back as well.

Roman Jones has fast times in the 100 yard distance in free, fly and back, in times swam last spring as a 15 year old.

Sam Quarles is also listed by SS as a "Best of the Rest" prospect as a sprint freestyler.

Possibly the "jewel" in the class is Nikolas Antoniou, a 2020 Tokyo Olympian from Limassol, Cyprus. Antoniou's
converted sprint times in the 50 and 100 free currently rank him at the top in both distances for the 2023 class.

Thanks for the link to "The cloud". We all miss ursusarctos californicus post on 'all' swimming recruits ..even if they are Furd recruits.solobear said:
The cloud has a list of all Cal commits (But their reports come slower and not as complete as UrsusArctos*'s )

On another news, the new diving coach resigned
I don't think he/she was barred (imo). Of course I don't know for sure. I think there was a person or persons who called him out for posting recruits from other schools..especially when there was a slew of Furd recruits. UAB ceased to post not soon afterwards.Ccajon2 said:
Was UAB really banned from posting here by "management?" Can one of the guys or girls who post in green answer that. The only f-ing programs Cal has that Can win win NCs are on the other sports boards, for the most part but nobody is interested in them.
