The Bobcat Nation

I'm from Erie, PA, and Larry Swann was just added to the roster of one of our local college teams, Division II Gannon University. I see that he was suspended earlier this year and then left MSU. Does anyone have info on what happened? And has anyone seen him play -- did Gannon get a good player? Any info would be helpful.

JC transfer last year, redshirted. Never saw action. Was projected to be a solid backup to our guard rotation. Speculation as to why he was suspended, but no finite answer from what I understand. Brad Huse is a no-nonsense coach, and since our basketball teams have had off court issues in the past several years, if you mess up at all you are gone.

If you want info on his basketball skills, I'm not the guy for that job, talk to mslacat. From what I understand he was a solid scorer in JC but had to work on his defense.

From what I've heard that seems like a solid assesment. I would add that I believe he was projected to play last year but was a late redshirt decision becasue I heard he had trouble grasping Brad's schemes????

Should be a very good player for your team, but will be behind the eight ball catching up with the other players. Saw some tape of him at a 6th man event before the season started and I think he could have contributed for the Cat's this year but from the bench as an offencive spark. Can score the ball. He is more of a shooting guard than a point guard but his point guard skills had improved a great deal since coming to MSU.

I hope your team benefits from the time he spent with the Bobcats I know the Bobcat coaches really invested a lot of time and effert on him the past year and half.
