Hate how the Journal always list PC first. Their fans must be pissed to see the Journal make a big deal about Pitino though lol.

Swider is apparently going to UConn's late night madness tonight and not URI's.

Re: '18 RI SG Cole Swider (Offer)
Swider did go to UConn's First Night but they hosted a couple entire AAU teams, there's a chance that's why he was there and not at URI. Which he goes to next year is far more important, imoCT Rhody wrote:Swider is apparently going to UConn's late night madness tonight and not URI's.

100% agree.

Re: '18 RI SG Cole Swider (Offer)
They should be all over this guy. If AJ Reeves goes to UConn (247sports says 9-0 UConn), they'll have him, Adams, Larrier, and 4* Jackson taking up the 2/3 spots. They would have a serious logjam from 1-3. We have a big opening at the 2/3 - he'd probably start right away (like JT).

Re: '18 RI SG Cole Swider (Offer)
I'm just guessing, but if Cole decides to play locally, I think he prefers PC right now. Of course, there's plenty of time for that to change since he still has two years of high school ball left.

He seems to be a PC fan. Of course, that doesn't mean that's where he'll go. Like I said, a guess. As far as what PC has now, remember, Cole is an '18.

Re: '18 RI SG Cole Swider (Offer)
Now here's the scoring wing we need! This kid is going to blow up this year. It would be awesome to get an early verbal. Lights out shooter who continues to develop an all around dominate game. His teammate Goodine is dynamic as well.

Re: '18 RI SG Cole Swider (Offer)
I think this weekend is a big weekend. Hey he spotlight for the rivalry, of which he's being heavily recruited by both, as well as the Zero Gravity Prep Showcase taking place at St Andrews. His first game won't have either program represented because it's at 4pm, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sunday's is filled with CBB coaches.

Re: '18 RI SG Cole Swider (Offer)
Cole is a helluva player, he needs to work on scoring off the bounce a bit more and his rebound positioning, )75 he's gonna have his pick when all is said and done. He looked good with what he does well right now, but at times tried to do too much while playing in front of Friar head coach Ed Cooley.

NRF,

I saw Swider in AAU and quite frankly was not impressed. He came off the bench and was not very active or physical. I know this is summer AAU ball and he is young. I also know that players can improve rapidly but also they can p
Plateau early on. What is your take on Swider - do you see him as having a lot of upside potential? how good is his 3 point shooting?

Re: '18 RI SG Cole Swider (Offer)
Ramster, this is what he did Saturday afternoon in in the tournament. It was at the same time as the URI/PC game, so PC obviously didn't see this one...
Tim Glover @nxtlvlhoops · Dec 3
Cole Swider @coleswider21 with 29 points/15 rebounds vs Loomis Chaffee on Sat.
PC was there to see him yesterday in this game...
Zero Gravity BB @ZeroGravityBB · Dec 4
@SASRIAthletics guard Cole Swider is our #PrepClassic #ZGPOTG contributing 22 points in the big win over Salisbury @NERRHoops
Take my word for it, he's really good. And he's only a junior and possibly still growing.

Re: '18 RI SG Cole Swider (Offer)
BillyBoy,
When I saw him he was playing up in age class with the 17U so it is very hard to judge players, especially when they are still going through a lot of growing. Plus just the fact that he could be asked to play on the 17U team says a lot.
I knew he had 22 on Sunday.......it was in the attachment I put in.
But those are good numbers for sure. He may get our of the reach of URI and PC for that matter, maybe going high P5?
I have seen Cooley spend a lot of time recruiting kids, especially New England kids the past few years and he has lost some, but he does attend a lot of their games. He really wanted Abu who went to NC State.

Re: '18 RI SG Cole Swider (Offer)
Billyboy is spot on. Swider doesn't play with a terrific point guard during the prep season or the AAU season. If he was playing with Wabissa Bede/David Duke or Marcus Zegarowski people would truly see how good he is. PC obviously didn't see him Saturday, but they watched Cushing, left to practice and came back to specifically see Cole play.
Brown head coach Mike Martin was also in attendance.

Word is he really likes the New Big East a lot. All of those are going to go at him hard. Don't hate Providence's chances but wouldn't bet on him going there.

Exactly and it was great for him to see the atmosphere before the game with the senior recognition, the game itself, the halftime recognitions, the overtime, and the post game celebration. Also good for him to see how well he could fit in to fill our 3 point shooting needs.

Re: '18 RI SG Cole Swider (Offer)
We need to get to St. Andrews this year in our Rhody gear. Oh, Cole scored 45 in this game. Yes, it was an all-star game and I'm sure not much defense was played, but still....next highest scorer had 29.
Bill Koch...
Quite a few Providence shirts/hoodies in the crowd at Portsmouth (no coaches). Common sight when Cole Swider plays. Friars fans not subtle.

Hasn't happened since Jeff Kent, unless you count
Steve Mello.
He's a BABC guy and I don't recall us landing one
from that program.
