[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Swimming (college recruiting) also favors tall and of course long limbs.[/quote] Swim recruiting is about times. While it is true that being taller is often an advantage and may lead to faster times, college coaches are not recruiting based on height or limb length - they are recruiting based on times (and demonstrated trajectory). [/quote] Nah has was eloquently exposed in the follow ups to the Varsity Blues sting most of the non-money sports filter started finding ways to filter kids at much younger ages so that poor kids don't have a chance to get times. https://time.com/6100715/varsity-blues-trial-college-sports/ They used to be able to reliably cheat, even if they didn't have the times or whatever the coaches would just take a kick back, but now they have to have the times so they make it so that poor families can't get their kids into the programs at all.[/quote]
