UVA Swimming & Diving just put on a marketing clinic.
After announcing plans to host a high-energy exciting dual meet against Texas they rode that wave of attention and doubled down with the biggest recruiting class announcement in history which included #1 Maximus Williamson AND #1 Thomas Heilman.
They coordinated an announcement that they knew would make waves and ripple deep into the NEXT recruiting classes instead of just picking off announcements one at a time.
Well. Done. UVA.

This was insane, I was at a meet, changing into my tech suit, and then EVERYONE started talking about how 5 top guys just committed to UVA 💀
Hit that like button. I’m late *to a party because of this. Worth it.
You have friends? Party?
Imagine if NCAA swimming was like the nba where teams can trade, draft, and sign swimmers to their team. Would probably never happen but I think that would be very interesting especially a draft of all the best high school recruits
yeah but recruits also go for college not just to swim
Definitely not in college
Sounds like a lot of the positives of a professional swimming league 👀
That is called 'N.I.L.'.....
Kyle is pushing out the fastest information. I just saw your tweet 😂
Cancelling Saturday evening plans for this 🫨
I had a swim meet today and now I get to see 2 Kyle sockwell videos in the same day? Let’s goooooo
LETS GOOOOOOO

Hi Kyle, really appreciate what you're doing for the sport keep it up man!
Holy crap! This is brilliant and exciting! Great to get in on it so fast with your scoop. The Texas dual meet will be crazy!
Impressive work with UVA marketing! 🤯
Am I the only one who saw this video and was so hyped… then the first thing I noticed was “woah hol up where is kyles signature hat?????😂
Imagine they get Sean green too 1 2 and 3 in class of 25 would be crazy
If swimming can become something that has anticipation and hype in social media for more than just the Olympics/World championships there will be a lot more access for fans who aren’t swimmers.
That's the big goal and, IMO, I don't think we're trying to solve it aggressively enough. NCAA swimming can be the catalyst for a more than "once every four years" movement in the sport, but the steps (as far as I see them) are as follows...
1) More butts in seats at meets
2) More resources from schools
3) Better streaming from media
4) Better sponsorship opportunities
5) More say in season structure
6) Season structure reformatting
7) Dual meets matter
Who knows what the ncaa record board could look like by the time these guys are seniors
Every time a record gets broken I naively trick myself into thinking that it won’t be broken for the next 20 years.
I’m always wrong.
Kyle, I have been ranting to my friend about this for 2 hours now…
Now we can rant about it here 🤝
I can’t wait to hear about the savage 7 sweeping the NCAA Championships events in a few years🔥
Could you make a video on Anthony Grimm? Sad that he’s retired now but I remember him going 20.8 for 50 backstroke as a SOPHOMORE in HIGHSCHOOL
(Edit, that’s crazy he’s back lol)
Sean Green added to the savage 7 would add that distance free to the group 👀
Rising water raises many ships, USA swimming needs this exposure, universities need to see there’s a need to keep their aquatic programs healthy and funded.
This even took Kyle’s hat 🎩 off
#NoCapKyle you know it's serious business!
I wonder if my teammates will be talking about this at our meet tomorrow
they're just missing a true breaststroker for that class now
Bro...I'm trying ok. A few more meets for experience and I'll be there.
The sixth member of the savage 7?👀
“Annnnnnd the 6th member is Qin Haiyang and the 7th is David Popovici”
@@Sockwell Qin is too old lol, but David... Or maybe MA finally begins his college swimming career and joins them as a breaststroker sprinter.
Unreal
As a high school swimmer in Virginia this is wild
Are you going to the uva meet?
Soon to be the Morgul 9?
Kinda crazy what just happened
I had no idea Maximus Williams was the guy who slipped in that vid😅
I met Anthony grim and he gave me a medal!!!
You can talk about isl ? What happening with that
I don’t expect the ISL to ever come back. Our best bet is a completely separate professional league.
Kyle what was your exact reaction to this information
I said out loud “oh holy shit, there it is”
Sockwell merch when?
It’s in the works, but I want it to be 🔥
wahoowa 😎
Kyle 😍😍
@Summershot16 heyyyyyy
Where's the mullet, Kyle?

Need more ALL CAPS and EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!

What’s with the 69 insta notifications 🤨 😏
I saw, cal is depressed

UVA doesn't really have many big-name sports teams, maybe this is their big shot to make a national name out of their athletics department. My guess is that yes, they are beefing up their "marketing department", but that's because it's the backdoor to offering huge NIL opportunities to athletes, because "pay to play" isn't technically legal, but "pay to sign autographs and be in ads" is legal.
Settle down Clickbait Kyle, it's just swimming.
