I can't speak for War Eagle, but at Cal they have to recruit furners, 'cause most of the Americans can't get admitted...:DWith all due respect to Cal and agreeing that it is VERY difficult to get into, it being one of the best universities in the world (just a notch behind Stanford according The Times world ranking of universities here -- www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/.../top-200.html), if Cal (or any other university skimming the world for swimmers) doesn't need to go outside the US to get 75-100 football players to field that team with players who can make the academic requirements, I doubt it needs to for the swim team. I'm not opposed to coaches going outside the US, but let's be clear about their reasons for doing so.
