[NU Sports] Basketball transfer

[Aaron Ament]

I was just about to send this around.  I have watched I think every game Swopshire has played in during his college career and I think he will be a great addition!  I've really been hoping for this the past couple weeks..

He was the first big man off the bench this year for a Final Four team...his numbers werent great after missing his entire junior year bc of injury and only really being healthy for the second half of this season, but his impact for Louisville was just huge.  I don't think there is any way we would have defeated Florida in the Elite Eight without a huge game from Swop...

He was also the first big man off the bench his freshman year for a team that was ranked #1 in the nation going into the NCAA tourney and started most of his sophomore year before the injury...he can rebound, score down low , play defense, is versatile, an also an all around great guy....let's hope he helps take us to the Tourney!
