Looking forward to this next chapter. Gig ’em!”

Jack Madoch was 19.5 out of high school, that’s elite. Two years later, he’s 19.4? That’s not stagnation, and thats not on the swimmer, that’s a coaching failure. And it’s not just him!

Todd DeSorbo and the UVA’s men’s program has been bringing in top recruits for years, yet somehow none of them make real progress. At some point, it’s not the swimmer it’s the system. DeSorbo who is the sprint coach, has built a powerhouse on the women’s side, but the men’s side? Completely underdeveloped. The pattern’s obvious, and Madoch isn’t the first example. He just happens to be the latest. Honestly, it’s impressive he had the guts to leave. Leaving a high-profile program and top University like UVA… Read more »

Hard to believe a 19.4 got cut, think this was voluntary?

Isn’t Madoch the guy who had a slower 100 fly than Gretchen did at the January quad meet?

My bad, it was my attempt at a dig on UVA. Dude was 19.5 out of high school, 19.4 two years later. Then we get the dumb complaints that they’ve never had any solid talent.

If this year was any indication, this guy under A&M’s sprint group will be impressive.

He’s definitely stagnated at UVA, and with the class they have coming in with 7 guys going :19, he decided it was time to move on. But 19.48 is a pretty legit swim — it seems unlikely he was cut. But who knows.
