Cole Swider Transferring from Nova to Syracuse

Paulie and Steve were bashing the fanbase on Orange Nation earlier this week over how negative and reactionary.

The Orange Fanbase sustains this program.

With 3,000 in the stands, we’d be Seton Hall.

* Sounds like a guy who should’ve been a starter.

I don’t know. I’ve never seen @hoopsupstate’s handle. Also, would he give us length at the top of the zone?

 

[pearl31]

We must have watched a different Swider cuz that handle was suspecttttt. If he wasnt catching and shooting, he was pretty useless on the floor but hey, maybe new system will help

I kind of don’t think you watched Swider play at all.

What does that mean when Cole says in the interview that they did a great job keeping in touch with him while he was at Villanova? Did we just get put on probation again?

 

[Cusefan69]

Congrats and welcome to Cuse. I think this is a nice addition. After watching his tape he can shoot, runs the floor on fast break and while not Jordan, is capable enough of putting the ball on the floor. Loved Q and his athleticism but how many games a season were we getting an uninjured Q on the floor? He seemed to battle injuries that impacted his season every year. I was under the impression from board insiders Woody was gone. He probably still is. (Things can change certainly). That said if he is willing, there are minutes he can get.

 

[hoopsupstate]

He’s 6’9” and Benny is 6’8.5” and along with Jessie at 7’0” that finally gives us some size and length on the front line. He’s also 225 pounds.

Not much. Joe can post me up.

When you met JB at the airport I am sure he told you that as well.

“Swider said SU coaches told him he could play shooting guard and both forward positions.“


ill be taking bets on this one.

Sizewise this will be the biggest the backline has been since the defensively elite 17-18 team.

Yea not sure how to feel about that one

I think you look this as just the amount of lineup flexibility. Honestly that comment doesn't necessarily push anyone else's opportunity out the door either vs locking down a particular position and leaving no time.

 

[hoopsupstate]

This is why you don’t badmouth recruits that decide to go elsewhere. You never know what might happen down the road. Is Sam Perkins in the portal yet?

How do I say this politely...

NO ONE CARES WHAT THEY SAY!!!

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Frankly, I’m ok with that. That’s all Braswell could do on offense, and he helped big time - when he was hitting shots.

Of our forwards last year, only MD could really handle to ball

my thoughts are...

im glad he bought it. Happy he’s here.

I never met JB at the airport or anywhere.

Griff did every 5th game

 

[orange79]

Girard
Boeheim
Swider
Williams
Edwards
Torrence
Boeheim

So there’s 7.

Woody and Frank...we’ll see.

Chances we keep both of them and add another guard that can play and is quick? I’d feel a lot better about things if that all happened.

It's a shame you won't be around to watch the team next year.

We saw Woody get like 3 minutes at SG.

Likely will do the same with Cole vs. Directional State, so they can say they kept their promise to him.
