F that; seems like a good player but let's show some support for our current and incoming roster development rather than one year guys. I'm with the thought that we try and get a center prospect to redshirt this year and if it doesn't work out no loss.
You would take him for sure. But I don't think he's even said that he's going to transfer.
It amazes me how so many people here think they know what is best for the program. We have no idea who Buzz really wants and who Buzz really has a chance to get. Our opinions do not matter so let us stop working against Buzz's efforts to complete next years team by criticising any potential addition. These boards are read by recruits and current players.

If Drew Crawford is interested in transferring, I think Buzz takes him in a heartbeat. One more guard with experience who can shoot, we may be better off than if VB had stayed. But I agree with Bilsu.....let Buzz run the show.
As long as the chemistry is there and his shoulder is good to go, this would be a no-brainer. This kid can flat out play. Color me excited about this possibility. He has the potential to fully replace what we lost with VB.

Good logic, "our opinions don't matter" so don't post them because they might offend someone. Keep it clean, don't be deragatory, but other than that its pretty much fair game here. If I'm the kid and Buzz wants me, that's all that would matter.
Would love to see Crawford for several reasons. Great player with complete game, senior leadership and experience, good character and academics. Might be too much to hope for to recapture the Trent Lockett chemistry though.
Paint Touches debunked this rumor yesterday. There has been no contact by MU with Crawford as of yet.

That really read as a PR statement from MU. Even if there hasn't been any contact between the two, it's been 24 hours. Let's hope Crawford at least considers what MU has to offer now that Blue is gone.

Have you been paying attention? This is what Buzz does.

It would better if this place was less obsessed with shutting down criticism because Buzz, Vander or others may see our posts.
Seriously, no one criticize anything about our team or program any more! They're kids. How dare we try to form opinions! Stop it!

Drew considered a lot of options but he's staying at Northwestern.

Well his father is NBA ref Danny Crawford, technically that's "inside the league." Maybe?
Crawford would be a very welcome addition.
Excited for Northwestern and their first trip to the NCAA tourney next spring!

Wow, Lighthouse and bilsu. Who knew we were so powerful here on Scoop that we actually could run the show?!?!?!
Power! We have power!
Oy.
Drew Crawford @TheRealDrewski1 2m
I'm excited to be at NU next year for one last season! I love my teammates and we're all ready to embrace Coach Collins' vision. #GoCats
The End.
Dang
Crawford obviously decided to stay at Northwestern because Scoopers "worked against Buzz."
