3-4 strong athletes can boost you into the top 20 at NCAAs in swimming, so hopefully it's not exaggerated. With that being said, we won't be able to compete at the conference level until we build back the depth of the roster. Having a few stars without depth will hold us back from getting much higher than top 15/20 at NCAAs, and we'll really be hurting at ACC's.

NC State and UVA already have a combined 10 commitments from the top 50 domestic recruits for 2021 already. Those 2 programs, along with Louisville will continue to dominate us for atleast a few more years. There are also a couple other ACC programs out-recruiting us, so I hope this commitment can build some momentum!
