Swider will visit Syracuse (June 18-20), Duke (June 23-24), Xavier (June 26-27) and Villanova (TBD).

“Cole is a big wing with an outstanding shooting stroke and legit size at 6-8,” said one Division 1 coach who had been involved in his recruitment. “He plays with a chip on his shoulder and loves to compete.

“If he finds a place where he can impact from Day 1, I see him as a potential pro one day.”
