Three Top-50 Recruits, Including #7 Overall, Highlights Men's Tiger Class
June 04, 2015 | Men's Swimming and Diving
The foundation of Princeton's current run of success (five titles in six years) has been recruiting, and this could be the fourth nationally ranked class over the last five years put together by veteran head coach Rob Orr and assistant Mitch Dalton, who has been part of the staff for four of those Ivy championships.
While the overall quality of the class is strong, there are individual standouts once again. Cole Buese is currently ranked seventh overall on collegeswimming.com, making him the highest-ranked incoming recruit in the Ivy League. Future teammates Murphy McQuet and Tyler Lin are both within the Top 50. Last season, the Tigers brought in three of the nation's Top 20 recruits, according to collegeswimming.com, including third-ranked Corey Okubo. Each of those three played a key role in bringing the Ivy League championship back to Princeton.
