TEMPE, Ariz. -- The swimmers Bob Bowman talks to on the recruiting trail are arming him with a sense of his opponents' strategy.
"The first question they ask is 'how long are you going to stay at ASU?'" Bowman said. "Other schools are telling them I just came here to train Michael [Phelps] for the Olympics.
"I tell them, 'well, I just got here, and if I just wanted to train Michael for the Olympics I probably would have gone to the south of France."
Bowman was encouraged by the performance of the Sun Devils men's team last season, but he is feeling absolutely energized about both the men's and women's potential in years to come.
