2015 Outlook

The Garnet has made strides under Kosmalski in the last two seasons and 2015 should be no different. Bourne had an outstanding rookie campaign and should only improve. Barkley is a long-range threat, while Lebryk gained caluable experience in the backocurt as a freshman. McCartin will also push for time in the backcourt. Rubayo is the veteran in the post and will contend for time with Kaufmann and Walsh. Swarthmore is poised for its first winning season since 1997.
