please find someone better rather than complain.

he scored 30 last night, and can rebound.

6'6 220 is about 'Zar's height, and he will be a Junior next year.  It balances the classes and gets a little more beef in the lineup.

perhaps we should look at this as Maymon's replacement... about the same body size, but with more experience... probably a lower cieling though.

IDK, my current ceiling for JMay is pretty low, until he does something to show me otherwise.  Maybe Pearl will try to mold him into Chism's replacement.

I have no problem with it. The guards will be improved next year, Butler will be great, Center will still be lacking, and we will have a couple of bigger guys to come off the bench (Erik, and Crowder)

fair enough, but you're probably in the minority.

I'd take the potential of a 2x WI POY over the potential of a JUCO player any day... it was a comparison. ;)

Hopefully he is a David Boone type.  If he is a legit 6'6" with a bangers attitude its a good signing.

Keep in mind Otule will be at Center next year - and he was showing A LOT of improvement over his freshman year.  Furthermore, we'll have Otule for 2, maybe 3 more years.  And maybe Mbao develops - the kid has great feet and hands for a 7'2" player.  Hasheem Thabeet wasn't much of anything as a frosh.  We have 3 scholarships open for 2011 - I predict Buzz will land at least 1 or 2 Top 100 Bigs (over 6'6" 215lbs) in that class.  I'm perfectly happy with the signing of Crowder - I've heard he can really play..

There is still a chance that Buzz oversigns for this class if the right big comes along.

No.  It's too late and the "right big" isn't really out there.  Who would you "encourage" transferring?

Would have rather seen a little more beef, but this kid might work out for next season.  Jimmy is not going to come out of the game next year anyway.  As long as Fulce, Mbao, and Otule can play center (Jimmy literally does not have the beef to do it at all), this signing can be an ok short term solution.

DJO will be an undersized SF, Jimmy an undersized PF and will hopefully both play almost the whole game next year anyway.

Really, really need some size in 2011.

I should have probably added that I am lacking when it comes to evaluating basketball talent, and frankly haven't paid much attention to MU's recruiting until I was referred to Scoop by a buddy last year.  All I know about Jmay is what I have seen on the court while with MU, and what I have read on here. With that being said I may not have a good idea of his overall potential.

What about Maurice Walker.  I know he is leaning towards Pitt but what if by some chance we could grab him.  He seems to be the best center available.

Looks like he grew an inch and put on 13 lbs in the last year.

The link below mentions Crowder as a 2nd team NJCAA last year.  Also, he is listed as a 6-5, 207lb Guard.  ?-(

As much as I was hoping for a 6-10 banger, it looks like at this time of year, there aren't any good ones left that we are in on.

I guess I like this one.  I just would have preferred a bigger player with Newbill's slot, someone like Otule that could take time to develop since we don't really need them for 2 years.  But it's Buzz's call, not mine.

  We have no more scholarships. This is a short term solution and judging by the talent misevaluation of Roseboro, I'm interested to see who the next "big" MU gets is. This is a short term help, and essentially gives Buzz the selling point to bigs that they will get playing time and that we have the guards. Overall I support Buzz' decision to recruit Crowder.

looks (by his stats) he likes to hit the offensive glass.
He is a Georgia guy, a good amigo for Mr. Jones

Buzz is 3 for 3 on JUCOs who have made it to campus.  He knows JUCO hoops in that part of the country and has an eye for JUCO talent that can compete at the BE level.   He sounds like he can play right away, whereas a project big guy could not.

I anticipate he will contribute more than Lott or Kinsella and I like getting the classes towards being balanced.  It is a stop gap recruit and hopefully one that turns out.

Maybe one of these guys is going to decide to pay their own way and play as a walk on, see Jarvis Varnado.

A guy can dream right...  ;)

Crowder's stats:

http://www.njcaa.org/colleges_college_player.cfm?sid=4&collegeid=1310&category=Roster&slid=2&teamid=92405&athleteid=284980

Doesn't seem to be the "banger" type with all the 3pt fgas.

Am I reading his stats correctly that he is averaging 9.5 rebounds a game? Hopefully that will translate to 5 or 6 a game next season. Also averages 18 points.
