“Hey, it is what it is, you know. These guys need to be kids, too,” Swinney said. “They’re just having fun and enjoying being college people and doing what college kids do.”

Swinney added that intramural basketball is a huge deal right now for the football team with veteran players recruiting newcomers to join them.

There are several different teams, but one in particular with Justyn Ross, Tee Higgins, Diondre Overton and others stands out.

“These recruits, nobody really cares what they can do on the football field. What they really care about, what they’re really excited about, is who they’re going to put on their intramural basketball team,” Swinney said. “It’s a lot of fun to see that group. … But it’s a big deal around here. It’s a big deal.”
