Get off your high horse amigo. Ever heard of Conor Dwyer? Walk-on or not, anyone can become elite.

There are other aspects to recruiting than just times, by the way. Bill Dorenkott certainly has a better eye for talent than you do, otherwise you would probably be a Big Ten head coach helping to develop great student-athletes. I am guessing you aren’t though based on your compelling desire to sit on a computer and insult the future of college swimming.
