Isn’t Tony a 4 time winner?

“I’ll do my best to collect relevant accolades leading up to their junior year:”
Tony won the Peter J. Cutino Award (recognized as the collegiate water polo player of the year) 4 times.
He achieved this national honor in all four years of his career at Stanford University from 2001 through 2004.r
hahaha…I need to RTFA. Or in this case, read the whole post.
Tony won a silver at the 2008 Olympics. Would you say Ryder was the best player on the 2024 team? I’d say he was not. He has a long way to go and we can only hope he plays as long as Tony did. Let’s have the conversation in 10-15 years. It would be insulting to all the greats we have had to even put him at number 2 right now.

I said up until their junior year of college. Tony was 27 in 2008.
I also mentioned at the end of my post that Ryder was not named to the All-Star team at 2024, that being in favor of Tony.
I think it’s just exciting that there’s another player that’s made such an impact that he’d even be in the conversation with Tony. Is Ryder better? I don’t think so, but I can appreciate the hot take.
Does this need a new thread vs the WPW thread?

Yeah I keep seeing new posts and hope it is a new video, only to be disappointed and ignore what the argument is.

Great interview with Felix! Appreciate his perspective and sense of urgency for the sport. It should also be mentioned that one of the (perhaps few!) benefits of being a smaller sport is the ability to access the coaches and players in this way. if you’re a fan, recruit or parent, these WPW interviews provide a real insiders view that in other sports would be difficult to get!
It’s also quite refreshing to see such positivity and gratitude in a setting like this interview! No whining, complaining or grumpiness that we see way too often as sports fans.
Keep up the good work fellas!
