Men’s Recruiting Class Rankings Revisited: Top 12 Schools For 2019-2023

Every summer, we rank down the top recruiting classes snagged by each team. But what do those rankings look like four years later, when each swimmer has had an opportunity to complete a full NCAA career of competing and scoring?

We’ve already looked back at our top 20 individual athletes in the high school graduating class of 2019, re-ranked when they were high school seniors in the summer of 2019. Now it’s time to look back at our team-by-team recruiting class rankings to see which teams got the most from their recruiting hauls.

Back in August 2019, we ranked out the top 12 recruiting classes nationwide. You can look back on our ranks here:

We’ve re-published each of the 12 classes below, verbatim from how they were listed in our 2019 post. Then we tracked down some stats on each class, plus a short analysis of each class along with any extra swimmers who wound up being part of the class.

Bear in mind that international swimmers throw a wrinkle into this sort of analysis, given the difficulty in projecting ahead of time when an international recruit will join an NCAA program and officially start their eligibility.

Note: The ‘number of NCAA Scorers’ section refers only to individual scorers, and only among athletes included in our original recruiting class rankings. Late additions to the classes are noted when we can find them. 

*Special 2023 note: with the 2020 NCAA Championships canceled, any 2020 references below refer to psych sheet scoring, including the team finish, marked with an asterisk.

#12: NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH

Top-tier additions: HM Cason Wilburn (VA – free/fly), HM Luke Thornbrue (OR – distance), Will Barao (MA – distance), Topher Stensby (IL – sprint free), Jack Fitzpatrick (PA – back/IM), Jack Hoagland (NM – IM/breast)
The rest: 
Alec DeLong (IN – sprint free), Nick Chase (IA – back/free), Liam Hutchinson (IL – free), Charles Korndorffer (LA – fly/back), Nick Torres (NY – IM/fly), Michael Rosa (IL – breast), William Rains (CA – diving), David DeBacker (MI – diving)

  • NCAA finishes over *3* years: *14th*, 25th, 33rd, 18th
  • Number of NCAA scorers in class: 1 (Jack Hoagland)

Notre Dame had a couple of promising prospects in this class in Honorable Mentions Cason Wilburn and Luke Thornbrue, but the swimmer that emerged as the lone corer was Jack Hoagland, a four-time ACC champion who has scored in every event he’s competed in at NCAAs.

Hoagland was seeded to score 28 points for the canceled 2020 NCAA Championships, and went on to score 27 as a sophomore and 26 this past season, sitting out in 2022 with injury.

Wilburn has raced at NCAAs in all three campaigns as a relay-only swimmer for the Irish, while Thornbrue never ended up earning an invite.

#11: AUBURN TIGERS

Top-tier additions: Jack Armstrong (TX – sprint free), Aidan Stoffle (GA – back/free), Grady Wheeler (OH – distance), Lleyton Smith (GA – back) 
The rest: 
Cole Bruns (TX – sprint free), Davis Edwards (LA – IM/back), Drake Stallworth (IN – fly), Niklas Eberly (MI – free/fly), Tyler Babinec (OH – breast), Skip Donald (TX – diving)

  • NCAA finishes over *3* years: *28th*, t-33rd (zero points), 29th, 10th
  • Number of NCAA scorers in class: 1 (Aidan Stoffle)

Aidan Stoffle scored for the first time as a junior and really hit his stride this past season for Auburn, scoring 14 points to mark the lone bright spot for the Tigers in this class. That result dovetails with the team’s NCAA results, as they registered zero points in 2021, placed 29th in 2022, and then had a massive breakthrough with a 10th-place showing this season.

Jack Armstrong had promise coming in but transferred to Grand Canyon after his freshman season and raced this past season for Henderson State, earning a runner-up finish in the 50 free and a third-place finish in the 100 free at the Division II NCAAs.

Lleyton Smith qualified for NCAAs as a junior, finishing as high as 19th in the 200 back in 2022.

#10: ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE

Top-tier additions: #13 Liam Bell (GA – breast/free), HM Derek Maas (MI – IM/breast), Matt Menke (KY -back/IM)
The rest: 
Cam Auerbach (GA – fly/free), Jack Zhu (MS – breast), Riley VanMeter (MI – fly/free)

Alabama had a relatively small class that panned out well, though the only ranked name, Liam Bell, ended up finding success elsewhere.

Derek Maas scored a combined 30 points in his junior and senior seasons, earning back-to-back ‘A’ finals in the 100 breast, and Matt Menke was a three-time scorer in the 100 and 200 back.

Bell was the SEC runner-up in the 100 breast in his freshman year, and then scratched the 2021 NCAAs before transferring to Cal, where he’s scored 42 points over two seasons.

Cam Auerbach had his momentum halted as a freshman, but raced all four years and competed at NCAAs for the first time last month as a relay-only member for the 4×200 free.

#9: OHIO STATE BUCKEYES

Top-tier additions: #16 Jonah Cooper (CA – back/free), Lyle Yost (OH – diving), Thomas Watkins (New Zealand – back/IM)
The rest: 
Chachi Gustafson (OH – fly), Jay Johnson (OH – free), Matthew Magness (PA – IM/free), Kyle Silver (OH – fly), Ian Mikesell (OH – breast), Jonathan Sugar (OH – free), Hunter Grannum (MO – diving)

  • NCAA finishes over *3* years: *11th*, 7th, 9th, 11th
  • Number of NCAA scorers in class: 1 (Lyle Yost)

Ohio State ended up getting one of the class’s top three scorers overall in diver Lyle Yost, who put points on the board for the Buckeyes in all nine events in which he competed in at NCAAs.

The highlight for Yost came this season when he won the 1-meter title, and he also put up top-six finishes in the other two events to score 46.5 points. He was just one of three athletes in the class to score over 100 points (109.5) over three NCAAs.

The Buckeyes’ lone top-20 recruit in the class, Jonah Cooper, didn’t get back in the pool after the pandemic, racing for the last time at the 2020 Big Ten Championships where he finished fourth in the 100 back and seventh in the 200 back.

Kiwi native Thomas Watkins was an NCAA qualifier in 2021 and had multiple top-eight finishes at Big Tens during his career, including placing fifth in the 200 back and seventh in the 100 back this past season, but never scored at NCAAs.

#8: USC TROJANS

Top-tier additions: #19 Max Saunders (CA – free), Santi Corredor (Florida transfer -IM/free), Truls Wigdel (Norway – free), Jack Kirby (Barbados/TN – back/free)
The rest: 
David Mertz (CA – distance), Dominic Margarino (CA – distance), Ivan Puskovitch (PA – distance), Jan Collazo (FL – sprint free), Paul Retterer (NJ – back), Ryan Peterson (CO – sprint free), Trent Martinez (OR – free)

  • NCAA finishes over *3* years: *30th*, 27th, 26th, 22nd
  • Number of NCAA scorers in class: 0

USC couldn’t capitalize on what looked like a promising class back in 2019.

19th-ranked Max Saunders was a relay-only swimmer at NCAAs in his sophomore and junior seasons, but didn’t compete individually, while Barbados native Jack Kirby earned a top-10 finish at Pac-12s in three straight seasons (2020-2022) but didn’t race at NCAAs.

Santi Corredor transferred to USC prior to the 2019-20 campaign but never competed for the Trojans, staying in Los Angeles for just one season before heading to FSU, while Norwegian recruit Truls Wigdel didn’t race for the team after the 2020 Pac-12 Championships.

#7: ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS

Top-tier additions: #5 Jack Dolan (MO – free/fly/back), Julian Hill (FL – free), Scott Lyons (NC – breast), Alex Colson (MD – fly/IM)
The rest: 
Andrew Gray (MN – free/fly), Bobby Pearce (TX – back), Noah Scheuerman (MO – fly/IM)

This class really performed for ASU this past season. Their NCAA point totals are hampered due to the fact that the entire team redshirted the 2021 season, but after last year was a step in the right direction, they really exploded in 2022-23 and helped push the Sun Devils to a runner-up NCAA finish.

Jack Dolan, ranked fifth in the class four years ago, was a consolation finalist in the 50 free in 2022, but took things to a different level this year by placing seventh in the 50 free, seventh in the 100 back and 16th in the 100 free, scoring 25 points individually while also contributing on four relays.

Alexander Colson scored 12 points in back-to-back NCAA seasons, while Julian Hill (13) and Andrew Gray (12) combined for 25 this year after scoring just one between the two of them as juniors.

The other highly-touted recruit in the class, Scott Lyons, switched his commitment to UNC and never ended up racing collegiately.

#6: INDIANA HOOSIERS

Top-tier additions: #1 Brendan Burns (PA – back/fly/free), Harry Flanders (CA – fly), Jake Marcum (TN – back), Kai Bathurst (CA – free), Will Gallant (CT – distance)
The rest: 
Jacob Destrampe (IN – free), Max Scott (OH – sprint free)

Indiana ended up getting three NCAA scorers out of this class, though two of them produced their point totals for other teams.

Top-ranked recruit Brendan Burns backed up his #1 slot by winning an NCAA title in the 200 fly last year and then claiming the 100 back crown this season, scoring 46 points in back-to-back seasons and earning a cumulative total of 121 over three seasons.

Jake Marcum transferred to Alabama after his freshman year and went on to score two points in 2022, while Will Gallant announced his move to NC State midway through his sophomore season and therefore never raced at NCAAs for Indiana. Gallant has gone on to score 42 points for the Wolfpack over the last two seasons, highlighted by a 25-point effort in 2023 that saw him win the NCAA title in the 1650 free.

Neither Harry Flanders (retire) or Kai Bathurst (transfer to Cal) competed for Indiana after the pandemic.

#5: GEORGIA BULLDOGS

Top-tier additions: #18 Dillon Downing (GA – sprint free), HM Zach Hils (KY – IM/back), Ian Grum (GA – distance/back), Harry Homans (RI – fly/back), Thomas Strother (KY – breast)
The rest: 
Charlie Logan (GA – free/back), Riley Scruggs (GA – sprint free/breast)

  • NCAA finishes over *3* years: *17th*, 4th, 8th, 12th
  • Number of NCAA scorers in class: 2 (Dillon Downing, Ian Grum)

#18 Dillon Downing played a critical role for Georgia throughout his career as one of the team’s few sprint freestylers, with his best season coming in 2020-21, when he placed fourth in the 50 free and 16th in the 100 free at NCAAs.

Ian Grum has produced 54 points over three NCAA appearances, ranking him second among unranked U.S. recruits in the class, highlighted by his fourth-place finish in the 200 back and sixth-place showing in the 400 IM this past season.

Zach Hils has been an NCAA qualifier each of the past three seasons, narrowly missing scoring, while Harry Homans had a strong performance as a freshman at the 2020 SECs, placing third in the 200 fly, but transferred to USC after that.

#4: CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS

Top-tier additions: #12 Jason Louser (NY – IM/breast), Hugo Gonzalez (Auburn transfer – IM/back), Jacques Lauffer (Switzerland – breast/IM), Nick Hart (IN – diving), Michael Petrides (HI – free), Calvin David (CA – distance), Colby Mefford (CA – free/back), Will Pelton (MD – fly/back), Sebastian Somerset (Canada – back)
The rest: 
Addie Laurencelle (SC – sprint free), Preston Niayesh (CA – breast)

Although not a part of this high school class, Hugo Gonzalez was factored into Cal’s recruiting class ranking as he came over as a transfer prior to the 2019-20 season.

Gonzalez piled up points for the Bears over three NCAA meets, winning the 400 IM in 2022 and finishing no lower than third in any of his individual events this past season to score 50 points and help Cal repeat as national champions.

After missing the 2021 championship season, #12 Jason Louser came back to score 43 points over two NCAA meets for the Bears, while they also had point contributions from Colby Mefford and Sebastian Somerset. The class was also boosted by the addition of Bell from Alabama.

#3: VIRGINIA CAVALIERS

Top-tier additions: #3 Jack Walker (NC – free), #7 Jack Wright (PA – free), #20 Sean Conway (VA – IM/back), Henry Schutte (MI – sprint free), Max Edwards (NC – sprint fly/free), Konnar Klinksiek (TX – sprint free)
The rest: 
Daniel Gyenis (VA – distance), Josh Fong (NJ – fly)

  • NCAA finishes over *3* years: *16th*,9th, 10th, 15th
  • Number of NCAA scorers in class: 1 (Josh Fong)

As noted in our revisit of the individual class, Virginia really fumbled things in terms of getting results out of a talented recruiting class, as the only swimmer who ended up scoring was the unheralded Josh Fong.

#3 Jack Walker qualified for NCAAs twice before retiring during the 2021-22 season, while #7 Jack Wright was a multi-time ACC ‘A’ finalist and performed relay duties for the Cavs at NCAAs but never competed individually. #20 Sean Conway raced at NCAAs once, placing 18th in the 200 back and 19th in the 400 IM in 2021.

On the flip side, Fong has shown great progress over the course of his career, going from missing an NCAA invite as a sophomore to placing 24th in the 200 fly as a junior, and then climbing to 14th in the event this past season.

Performances from other classes helped keep UVA in the top 10 in 2021 and 2022, but having such a lack of senior scoring this year contributed to them dropping down to 15th.

#2: NC STATE WOLFPACK

Top-tier additions: #6 Ross Dant (NC – distance/IM), #8 Noah Bowers (VA – IM/everything), #14 Hunter Tapp (KY – sprint free), #15 Noah Henderson (NC – fly/free), Kimani Gregory (PA – sprint free/fly), Markus Wennborg (NC – breast)
The rest: 
Owen Hanna (OH – back), Thomas Hamlet (NC – back), Zachary Cram (VA – back/fly/free), Kevin Childs (CA – back/fly), Garrett Waite (WA – IM), Bayne Bennett (NC – diving), Patrick O’Brien (NC – diving)

NC State’s highly-regarded class panned out pretty well here, boosted by the addition of Will Gallant from Indiana.

#6 Ross Dant finished in the same position, sixth, in terms of overall scoring for the class, piling up 83 points with impressive consistency (27/27/29 points at each meet). Dant was the runner-up to Gallant this past season in the 1650.

The Pack also got double-digit contributions from Noah Henderson (14 points) and Noah Bowers (13 points), and Hunter Tapp also got on the board with six points last season.

#1: TEXAS LONGHORNS

Top-tier additions: #2 Jake Foster (OH – IM/breast), #4 Caspar Corbeau (OR – breast/free), #9 Peter Larson (MN – back/free), #10 Ethan Harder (MT – back/fly), Maxime Rooney (Florida transfer – fly/free), Chris Staka (Alabama transfer – back/fly/free), Alvin Jiang (UNC transfer – fly/back/free), Paul Degrado (FL – breast), Cole Crane (FL – fly/free)
The rest: 
none

Texas incredibly had four of the top 10 domestic recruits in our 2019 re-rank, and although their point totals didn’t live up to that hype, this class play a crucial role in leading the Longhorns to the 2021 NCAA title, the 2022 runner-up result and staying in the top three this year.

Caspar Corbeau was the third-highest scorer amongst swimmers in the class with 99 points, scoring more than 30 in all three of his NCAA appearances while being reliable on relays, and Jake Foster ranked fourth with 86 points, scoring 28/30/28.

Peter Larson put up 11 points last season and was a member of the record-breaking 800 free relay this past season, while Sam Artmann scored in his senior year and diver Andrew Harness also contributed.

Ethan Harder was fast enough to qualify for NCAAs in each of his first three seasons (and close this year), but never competed as the Longhorns either didn’t enter him or scratched him due to roster numbers.

This class also got point contributions from transfers Alvin Jiang and Chris Staka in this class, while Maxime Rooney had three runner-up finishes at the 2020 Big 12s before the pandemic. Jiang put up a total of 35 points, including rattling off a pair of fourth-place finishes in 2021.

Cole Crane had the best season of his career this year, qualifying for NCAAs and placing 21st in the 200 fly, 28th in the 100 fly and swimming fly on the 400 medley relay.

RE-RANKING THE CLASSES

Certainly, individual points don’t encapsulate everything a recruiting class brings to a program over four years. But they are the easiest way to rank the classes against each other four years later. Here’s a look at all the classes represented, ranked by individual points from all swimmers in this graduating class:

Two notes to factor in.

1: 2020 psych sheets points aren’t accounted for.

2: In the case of swimmers who transferred, points are attributed to the team they scored for. In the case of a transfer who wasn’t part of this high school class (e.g. Hugo Gonzalez for Cal) their point totals are also factored in.

And our new top 12, purely in terms of individual NCAA points:

The far left column tracks each swimmer’s final rank within the class. The next column tracks their individual ranking in our top 20 recruits post. HM means “honorable mention.” NR means “unranked” and INTL means “international”, as we don’t rank international swimmers in our top 20 post. “DIVE” refers to divers, also not ranked in our top 20 lists.

When most of the 8-12 classes only have one or no NCAA scorers, it really drives home how hard it is to score at NCAAs much less score 50+ points in a career

How would the totals change if 2020 psych sheet points were added? I’d add it myself, but seems like quite a few of those values are missing (In Texas, for example, Rooney is missing, and I am pretty sure Jiang was seeded to score points, too, even though none are listed.)
