Why should it be front page news, he's at UNC-W. But let him enroll at A&T and see what happens.

No way he gets into A&T under the university's policy regarding atheltic transfers and run-ins with the law that is in place now. If he's toting guns, I wouldn't want him on my campus no matter what school I was supporting, and certainly not here.

I wouldn't mind taking a chance on him regardless if he plays basketball or not. He didn't assault anyone or damage school property so I think he deserves another chance with a very short leash.

Y'all act like he wanna come. From what I've heard, he looked down his nose when Eaves came callin when he left Wake. Let his a$$ stay where he is.

swinton didn't want to come here & eaves was begging people in swinton's camp trying to get him to call him...
for those of you who say bball doesn't recruit local kids... on the contrary... but if a kid doesn't return phone calls... goes out of their way to dodge coaches when they visit... you take the hint & go find kids who can help your program who want to come here...

I'm a little too close to this situation, so I won't say much, but I can't let ya'll go at Swinton like that. If you don't listen to anything else in your life, just know that T didn't recruit Swinton ever. They might've been interested when he left Wake, but he wasn't recruited. And for the record, Eaves should have a tent in Swinton's yard. He would be MEAC player of the year in his first year. I'm done.

He wouldn't crack the starting lineup over here. Which is probably the reason he didn't want to come here. As for Eaves recruiting him out of high school which he did, maybe not as aggressively as some would like, the fix was already in. He wasn't even considering A&T even if Jerry camped out on his front lawn.

I have no doubt he probably wasn't interested in A&T in the past but situations have changed. I think it could potentially be a great story if we reached out to him.
I suspect he'll end up at a CIAA school.

I don't believe A&T would be in his heart if we reached out and he came. Just like the kid from Charlotte years ago, the one that acted out on the bench.

He wasn't even considering A&T even if Jerry camped out on his front lawn. You'll find that I'll generally respect anyone's personal opinion but.... You absolutely can't be serious. I just saw him play about 2-3 weeks ago. I saw him play against pro competition (including a 7-footer) over the summer and score about 16 and grab 8 off the boards. We have no one that can do that. Crack the starting lineup? What? Have you seen this kid's body? We don't have anyone that can match his size and athleticism. He's a legit 6'7"- 6'8" and our top post last year was really a "3" in a 6'5" frame (Wills). Wow, I'm dumbfounded. As far as his heart being here, only he can answer that. The only reason I don't think "T" would be a good fit is because 1. We run too much of our offense out of a UCLA set and our big men spend a lot of time up top and 2. Eaves needs players that he can constantly yell at and I don't know how that would work. PS - Sending someone a letter isn't recruiting them and I can't even verify that a letter was sent. You are talking to someone who is "in the know" concerning this kid. He was absolutely NOT recruited.
