Crawford a Black Bear
Per Jerry Meyer Tweet, Crawford has transferred to OM. I wish him well.

Will he have to contend with Davis at the 2?

Tubby's getting players that will more than compensate for the loss

Crap. I had heard that and hoped for a better outcome-for markel and myself (I have to work closely with several black bear grads).

I hope markel lights up the SEC.

He left us because he wanted to play for a contender.

For the NIT title maybe....

Crawford a Black Bear
Apparently playing in the NCAAs was not the reason for transferring. Maybe none of the "good" teams wanted him? So do we cheer him when we play OM? I am torn. I really liked him and didn't blame him for transferring, but I assumed he would go somewhere likely to go to the dance.

Ole Miss have a chance now I guess. Certainly not a sure thing.

Guess the foreseen bidding war was more of a mild discussion -- without too many discussors and discussees.

I don't see how we can declare that we are getting better players to replace Markel.

I'm thinking if he had been just a regular player in JUCO last year...Markel would have been in the top ten rated JUCOs.

Also, he has a family and maybe wanted to stay close to Memphis.
Anyway. I am happy for his new start.

Whoa! I thought the crystal ball pointed to South Carolina? I am shocked of the commitment to Ole Miss.

Maybe he wanted to leave the program but didn't want to leave the area. Mississippi and stAte are the only options if he needs to be close to home.

Crawford did not leave for a near certain opportunity to play in the NCAA Tourney. He did not leave to get far away from home.

He is an average D1 basketball player. He's a fine shooter, but not great from three. He's not great at beating his man off the dribble and getting to the rack, but he does have good hops. He doesn't create his own shot often. It's hard to tell how good of a defender he is, b/c as a team we struggled defensively. As others have mentioned, he seems to be inconsistent and disappears at times. Time will tell if the incoming players do an adequate job of replacing him. Relatively speaking, I would expect us to miss Dedric more and have a much harder time replacing him.
