Cole Swider, Portsmouth RI

[Mr. French]

I see and get that but never enough quality shooters with size. The kid can flat out shoot it and from deep too, and he's athletic as well as growing. A Bobby Sura/Rashad Anderson rolled into 1? Polley seems like he can shoot it, mostly a mid ranger and Vance can be deemed a 3/4 with his size. There's room for this kid

I haven't watched enough of him, but I mean this genuinely: A Sura/Rashad rolled into 1 sounds amazing ...

Rashad is one of our most deadly snipers, and I LOVED Sura's game.

In today's game he'd be even better I bet, I think Grayson Allen (for as much as everyone hates him as a kid) plays a LOT like him, and I've loved Allen's game since he was in HS.

Need a kid who can come in and get buckets like that. Nice looking shot

Nice, may be late but hope KO and staff make a run.

Wow u just went Bobby Sura!!! I love love loved his game! Wrote a fake paper about meeting him over the summer in HS. I'm from fairly close to his hometown.

I also liked his game - kid out of PA that wanted to come to Storrs. Carved out an excellent college career at FSU, I believe along side Mayes dad?

I want all 3 -- Swider, Reeves & Duke -- for 2018. Add Dowuona for our big man and call it a day!

Swider is not a Bobby Sura type of athlete.

well then, based on that statement, to hell with him, we don't want him
But I would love to see him hoisting 3's with UConn across his chest - Bobby Sura athlete or not

I would love to have him, just stating he isn't that type of athlete. Sura before the injuries was as athletic as it gets.

I don't watch the videos until they are coming to UConn, but I remember Bobby could really sky. Not sure if he crossed over with Mayes at all.

Pat Kennedy was kinda a lightweight as a coach, but FSU had crazy talent on that team. They didn't ever make a Final 4, not sure about Elite 8?

Quick update - Ollie attend Cole's game a few days ago, that is when he offered in person. Cole had 35 and 8. Concerning his recruiting status, he is still a Nova lean. He is also pretty interested in Xavier. We are a long shot.

Hearing that there is definitely mutual interest but Nova is leading and possibly Providence College.

 

[husky429]

Seems like he might be a bit redundant with Jackson? Or he may be looking at it that way.

Still, I'll take as many 6'8 shooters as we can fit on the roster.

Interesting, I have pretty good sources and PC has not been mentioned. Not saying it's not the case, just have not heard it.

I will ask around again. Could be thinking reeves

Well you're correct that Nova leads. That has been and continues to be the case.

Not sure what's different about a guy 2 inches taller that can shoot the ball really well and dunk when given the space, and has good vision too? Same athlete, taller, maybe a better shooter we don't know that. Loved Sura, this is the remake!

Quick update, Cole is up to 22 offers now. Stanford called, he said he wants to stay on the east coast. Nova and Xavier lead. The info on the third school was a little fuzzy, it's either Creighton or Marquette - whichever one had a couple of private jets donated to it by a booster. I think it was Creighton, but not completely sure. He'll make a decision in the fall.

If he want to stay in the East Coast, it must be Nova.....None of those other schools are on the East Coast. The Midwest, isn't the East Coast.

Sorry that was a transcription error, it was "in the east". And I know Nebraska isn't really in the east, but creighton plays in the BE so there would be a good number of games in the northeast.

 

[huskypantz]

The official final four is Nova, Duke, Cuse and Xavier. Nova is the favorite.

Yet of course Duke got a flurry of picks upon offering.

Swider still only being top 80 after ranking updates is crazy to me. He's a top 15 scorer in the class, yet he's ranked way below players who are mostly projection like Mucius. He's going to make that ranking look stupid, I'm sure.

His game will translate well to college. Great shooter and will be able to shoot over the top of most defenders. Creating his own shot and defense will be the areas he'll need to work on.
