In today's age of the transfer portal, many just enter for money reasons or try to seek a better opportunity. Swartz enters after the train wreck season no one expected for the program that was in the Final Four just two seasons ago.
Swartz is a talented player and has the praise of everyone in the building. Former Interim head coach Bill Courtney believes Swartz could be 'special' as the 6-foot-4 guard grows. He had rough patches early in the season with Jim Larranaga who had him in the dog house after being impressive to start the season. He recovered, bounced back, provided some quality minutes off the bench for the Canes, and even started at the end of the season.
Swartz was ranked as the No. 66 overall recruit in the class of 2024 and chose Miami over schools including Virginia Tech, UConn, Georiga, and Indiana.
