As we continue to look back at recruit rankings through the lens of the now-updated NCAA scoring data, we’ll now take a look at where the scoring stands on the men’s side for the four classes currently making up the NCAA field.
We’ve already focused in on the senior class and freshman classes specifically, which you can read more on below:
- Revisiting recruiting ranks: High school class of 2018
- Revisiting recruiting ranks: High school class of 2021
We’ll also include this year’s freshmen and seniors to have all the data in one post.
Notes:
- The data included is only individual scoring at NCAAs. That’s not an exact measure of an athlete’s contribution to a program: many of these swimmers (and others not listed) were relay scorers at NCAAs, scored significant points at conference meets and provided great leadership and culture-building for their programs. This data isn’t a perfect analysis of the best recruits – it’s merely a quick look at the data we can compile.
- Some of these athletes haven’t had as many scoring seasons as others in their class. Some redshirted a season and have more remaining seasons. Some deferred their enrollment as freshmen. Some sat out a year with a transfer. Some turned pro early. Some will turn pro early. Some are hard to pigeonhole into a specific class, international athletes especially. We did our best to group athletes where they best fit. Again, this isn’t a hard-and-fast ranking of value – it’s just the best data we can compile.
- The ranks are from our recruit rankings, typically compiled when these athletes were high school juniors. We don’t include internationals in those rankings, as it’s difficult to figure out if and when internationals will join the NCAA and which class they should be grouped with before they appear in the NCAA. Do bear in mind that our rankings were done well over a year before any of these athletes appeared in NCAA competition, so if you do have a quibble with a specific rank, you may want to check how fast that athlete actually was when the ranking was done before you get too livid. Unranked recruits showing massive improvement curves are some of the best stories in the NCAA year-in and year-out, and one reason we rank recruits is so we can better see which athletes had great rises during their college careers.
- All that said, compiling these ranks is a lot of data entry and a lot of research. If we missed anyone, or misclassified anyone with the wrong class or with the wrong domestic/international tag, please let us know in the comments and we’ll update our data as soon as possible!

JUNIORS (HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2019, COLLEGE CLASS OF 2023)
- Unranked recruit Brooks Curry vaulted into the top spot in this class through their junior season, sweeping the 50 and 100 free at NCAAs to score 53 points in 2022 and 85 overall.
- #1 Brendan Burns had a big NCAA campaign with 46 points, warranting that top spot with a win in the 200 fly.
- Jake Foster, Caspar Corbeau and Ross Dant produced big points for a second straight year, while #13 Liam Bell really broke out for Cal after transferring from Alabama.
- Australian native Leon MacAlister scored 20 points in the backstroke events for Stanford after not even qualifying for NCAAs last season.
- Lyle Yost is proving to be a huge scorer for Ohio State in diving, putting up 63 points through two campaigns.

SOPHOMORES (HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2020, COLLEGE CLASS OF 2024)
- Six of the top seven domestic recruits combined for 235.5 individual points this season, with Cal’s Destin Lasco leading the way at 52. #2 Luca Urlando nearly doubled his point total from his freshman year, not even factoring his U.S. Open Record in the 100 back, and #1 Carson Foster was consistent with 46 after scoring 45 in 2021.
- #16 David Johnston had a big season with 39 points for Texas, now sitting at a total of 62 – fifth among Americans in the class.
- The international side had a lot of big scorers, led by Cal’s Bjorn Seeliger who was excellent as a freshman and even better as a sophomore.
- Although he raced in the NCAA for the first time this season, Stanford’s Andrei Minakov originally committed as part of this high school class. He was a redshirt freshman this season but a sophomore academically and will have up to three years of eligibility remaining. Minakov swam on five relays for the Cardinal this year, making his 36-point total individually even more impressive (including a title in the 100 fly).

I think will gallant is at NC State, right? Not Indiana (Atleast not when he scored points at NCS)
Still baffles me how low Lasco was ranked coming out of HS, definitely could argue he was 3rd…definitely not 5th
He’s definitely been better than Wyatt Davis, but They had essentially identical times when they were ranked. Hindsight is 20/20.
Which of the other three would you have put him ahead of?
He wasn’t as good late high school as he was when he was younger, and I think that was because he switched teams and i don’t know if he kept the same coach that he had when he was younger, a man with the last name of Petrov? I don’t remember his first name.
5th seemed about right at the time, but the difference is how much time he’s dropped in his events from high school compared to the rest of the top 5, especially in his third event (200 IM). In a re rank, I’d presume him to be the clear #1.
200 back: 1:40.77 -> 1:35.99
100 back: 45.93 -> 44.36
200 IM: 1:44.59 -> 1:38.21 (-6.38 seconds!!)
Not to mention his 18.69, 41.67, and 1:31.83 relay splits. And he’s only a sophomore!
These numbers really show the importance of “stars” for the scoring system. For the HS class of 2018, 8 swimmers accounted for 53% of all the swimming points, and 16 accounted for 75%. If you drop the international swimmers, it’s 6 swimmers accounting for 55% of the points and 12 for 75%. I suppose I should say “about;” I may have made a mistake when transferring the data to a spreadsheet. Would be interesting to see a more careful analysis that also looked at other years.
So did the ASU redshirt really help them as some have said (not me)? Looking at all their “misses” on here doesn’t make that argument hold much water (no pun)!
*ASU redshirt year
What helped ASU? Marchand and House.
Marchand wasn’t even there for redshirt year. He was in France and racing ! Only House “ maybe” benefited.
Lemme spell it out for you. No, the redshirt season didn’t help ASU. What did help ASU this year? Marchand and House.
No wonder Virginia men have been struggling, missing on recruits makes rebuilding harder… Statistics wise, who knows more not me….
