End of the Auburn reign?

Originally posted by hrietz It seems pretty ironic that Stanford recruited the youngest Dumais brother... Heather: This kind of recruiting happens all of the time. I think Stanford has learned that no matter how good you swim, if you have no divers that score and the other team has two divers like the Dumais brothers, then odds are you are not going to win the championship. This past year, Texas and Michigan recruited the Pattons. Matt swims for Michigan and Sean swims for Texas and they will both be swimming at the NCAA meet in 2 weeks. I wonder what school the parents will be cheering for? This year Michigan got one of the top recruits in the Nation named Scott Spann, who is up there with Ricky Berens. The reason I bring him up is his sister swims for Texas. His dad swam for both Auburn and Texas for 2 years a piece. The older Scott Spann is one of the greatest NCAA college swimmers ever. In fact, I believe he is the only man to have Short Course Yards American Records in the 100 ***, 100 Fly, and 200 IM and he set those while competing for both Auburn and Texas. He also is the only person to have World Records in the same events in Short Course Meters. His son being recruited by Michigan was a big suprise because neither Texas or Auburn got him. By the way, the kid as gone a 1:58 in the 200 ***. Here is a link about what Scott Spann is doing today. www.kxan.com/.../story.asp
