I know Shaine Casas is irreplaceable but this class has some really talented swimmers and would help us maintain our upward progress as a team

The Aggie women 2021 recruiting class get honorable mention (outside the top 16) by Swimswam

"Texas A&M Aggies: The Aggie class is headlined by in-state product Kaitlyn Owens, a top-flight 100 backstroker (53.5) that should be able to contribute to the sprint free relays down the line (23.0/50.2 best times). Pitt transfer Abby Grottle shores up the distance group after placing seventh at the 2021 ACCs in the 1650 (16:28.67), while they also have a pair of butterfly/IMers in Joelle Reddin (1:59.9 FL, 2:03.2/4:17 IM) and Sarah Holt (54.2/1:59.2 FL, 2:03.9 IM). Shannon Bagnal is a sub-2:00 200 backstroker, and Italian Alice Marini has promising IM conversions (2:00.6/4:17.0)."

With the addition of 2020 signee and Olympic games semifinalist in the 200 backstroke Aviv Barzelay from Israel, the class some great potential to do well and help the Aggies regain some dominance they once had in the SEC.
While we haven't able to sign a top 20 swimmer in the last couple of years, the most underrated coach in College Swimming Steve Bultman would certainly relish in the way he can develop these swimmers over the next couple of years.

We landed this today. I am posting it more out of shock than bragging.
