Column: The curious case of Dailyn Swain

Photo courtesy of Steve Helwagen - 247SportsChris Holtmann and his staff have been keeping a close eye on Columbus Africentric’s Dailyn Swain for awhile now — both at his basketball games and otherwise.

Yes, Holtmann and assistant coach Jake Diebler caught one of Swain’s tennis matches this spring. That is how committed they are to making Swain a Buckeye. Sure, Swain being local makes doing that a lot easier, but it’s still impressive and comical that Holtmann has made Swain such a high priority that he’s even willing to go catch his other sports when basketball isn’t being played.

Clearly the interest is there from Ohio State, but is that interest reciprocated from Swain, a four-star recruit…
