    NCAA finals this weekend. Currently #2 going into last day. Top 5 is relatively packed together.

    Texas men’s team is on a bit of a dive. Not swimming super fast. Few elite stars now and recruiting is up in the air. The GOAT Reese is retiring, but they haven’t named a replacement (probably can’t until after the season, which probably means it’s not the assistant coach). So many programs beyond Cal (Virginia, NCState, ASU) are hottttt in recruiting and passing us. We even lost to A&M for the second time in 61 years.

    CDC needs to hit a home run here. Hopefully he’s targeting the biggest names out there. Maybe it will affect the Women’s team and create a combined team, who knows. Carol’s done a great job and has the women rising.

    I think our only hope for only a temporary down spot is a huge, established coach who then acquires some of their good swimmers as transfers and recruit flips.

    We need something big here. At this point, I don’t know if we finish top 10 at NCAAs. That’s premature, sure, but there’s reason for it to look gloomy.
