Swimming and Diving National Champs

[Js1 85,295]

Jordan Windle is taking his COVID year and coming back!

https://www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/lets-run-it-back-texas-diver-jordan-windle-to-return-for-fifth-year/

Quote

Tuesday, he was named the national diver of the year by the College Swim Coaches Association of America. Windle won the one-meter diving event at NCAAs, was second in the three-meter final and fourth in platform. He won the NCAA platform title in 2019.

 

A 12-time All-American and four-time Big 12 Men’s Diver of the Year, Windle is a huge piece in Texas’s quest to repeat as national champion next year, an effort that won’t include coach Eddie Reese, who announced his retirement on Monday.

He can be five-time Big 12 Men's Diver of the Year.  What a badass thing that would be.

Wait do we still not have a new coach? I kinda forgot about that. 

[texasstrong12 4,668]

I get the sense this is just gonna be an internal hire. Maybe I’m wrong. 

I read somewhere that Reese was still going to be involved but just on his own time. 

Sounds like maybe they hire an assistant on staff, let Reese assist him for a few years, and then transition.

So Wyatt Collins, overseen by Eddie as HC Emeritus?

Seems like it could be. He's young and has been with Eddie since '14. 

Kris Kubic was Eddie's right hand man for like 30 years. Maybe he would come out of retirement? 

Either way, the next coach has a big advantage if he can keep Matt Scoggin. He's developed Texas into one of the best diving programs in the country. All the talk about Eddie but no chance Texas wins the title this year without diving.

Here's what I was referencing. 

"I am going to be a coach emeritus. That means I can still help and I want to do that. It's important for all of us. Working with swimmers has been one of the true joys of my life, and I definitely want to keep doing that. In my long life, I've discovered that the most important thing for us to do in this world is help others, whether it be for something simple or complex. Coaching allows me to do that."

Yeah, if he just announced (or entered) the portal on Monday...  the school can't comment.  

He was probably there - no doubt about that.  But "he has not transferred to Texas" is entirely a semantics paperwork thing that hasn't been finished yet.  Has to be formally enter the portal, be accepted admitted by Texas and his ASA paperwork completed and processed by the AD before the school can talk about him.

Why did he wait so long?

I don’t know him, but I do know that he had a really rough last 12 months to the point where he considered not even swimming at the Olympic trials

 

also, if he was considering this he knew it wasn’t going to be a popular decision with the Aggie community so he probably wanted to wait as long as possible

 

i’ve also seen it written in a few places that he may not of been a good locker room presence the past 12 months

 

also on the transfer front, this is huge

Virginia is kicking the shit out of everyone - 210 points through 7 events yesterday.  Texas in second with 128, holding off Stanford at 123 and Alabama at 120.

Still a lot to go 

[perfectchaos007 6,626]

Yeah it looks like a fight for 2nd. At least Lia Thomas prevented UVA from winning one event 

[Aleemay 304]

Second place finish! Pretty efficient result, I think I saw somewhere that Texas had the fewest number of qualified swimmers for a top 10 team.

Nice comeback against Stanford to finish 2nd 

[perfectchaos007 6,626]

I think we're still waiting on the diving results to make it official?

[perfectchaos007 6,626]

Okay the diving results were uploaded. Texas finished 3rd, 4th , and 8th in that event.

Texas indeed finishes 2nd overall. Great job ladies!

We were the only team in the top 5 who had 3 divers in the finals

And no Stanford or Virginia divers made the finals. Texas just needs to get more swimmers into finals of their race events to get over the hump and win a national championship.

I agree, but inevitably Reece will retire one day for good. No guarantee his successor will keep the train rolling, but certainly they will be handed the best set of keys any coach has ever been handed down

[SomeoneYouKnow2 235]

Don't think we did great in the finals tonight, especially relative to Cal. We had a swimmer DQ, and Cal had swimmers ahead of us in nearly every race. Also, no divers in the finals. I think we gained some ground on sheer numbers but we didn't do ourselves any favors.

Cal has been more impressive it seems. We have lacked our usual diving points which may be the difference. Hopefully the diving tomorrow can net us some good points.
