This is like getting Ralph Sampson, but if Ralph already had an NBA title and 10 high-paying endorsements. (And also a totally badass way to announce.)

It’s kinda nice feeling like there’s 1 natty in the bag every year regardless of other sports

Roads to swimming advertising gigs are probably pretty good for the Hoos. Our NIL collective has an easier job for swimming (compared to other non revs). Wins across the board!

So what did she announce? Did you see something other than a picture of her beside a car? Maybe I am not instagram literate.

She already has TYR, Omega watches, Powerade, and a number of others. She’s set before anything UVa could do.
And evidently has access to an orange ‘67 (?) Camaro, which is awesome.

It’s (probably) a teaser for a real announcement. But orange car, UVa shirt, and the “Hoo’s ready?” caption lead folks to know what she’s going to announce (or did announce). Pair that with the UVa Swim/Dive IG about a massive development (with its usual commitment edit), and you get there.
I wasn’t literate in this shit until recently. Ha.

If you look at the recruiting rankings… UVa has 5 of the top 12 commits on the women’s side.

Wake me up when the swimming team generates enough traffic to shut down LRA.

I mean, the sport you care about most (rugby) doesn’t register a blip on this forum, or your second-favorite (football), for that matter.
To each his own.

You think you know me?
Also the forum crashed during the wake forest comeback.
Let me know when the next swim meet is without google…
I’ll wait

She’s wearing a UVA shirt in the pic and title was something like “Its time”.
Its nice that UVA swimming will have not one, but now two incoming first-years who competed at the Olympics before starting college.

Much cooler commitment photo than Tipton…

I think it’s the SCM meet vs. Florida at AFC, maybe next weekend?
SCM = short course meters. Purpose of that particular dual meet is to prepare certain swimmers (Walsh, Douglass, Aikens, Curzan, etc.) for the short-course world championships later this year.
(And I know about you what you post — microbrews, rugby, football, the ATL!)
